THE EXISTING FLOWERING PLANTS OF EPPING FOREST. 5
here. Up to the present time I have collected twenty-eight distinct
forms of Bramble.
I have not studied the Roses sufficiently to report upon with
any completeness at present.
Pyrus torminalis, Ehrh. In hedgerows about Chingford and
Hale End. There is a fine tree in Lark's Wood.
Pyrus maius, Linn. It is gratifying to see how the old Crab
trees have been spared in various parts of the Forest. Both varieties,
acerba and mitis, occur at High Beach.
Drosera rotundifolia, Linn. Much less common than it was
fifteen years ago.
Callitriche stagnalis, Scop. Very common.
C. hamulata, Kuetz. Fairly common.
C. obtusangula, Le Gall. Less frequent.
Epilobium angustifolium, Linn. In two stations near the
Epping Road.
E. tetragonum, Linn. Much less common than the next
species.
E. obscurum, Schreb. Fairly abundant.
Circea lutetiana, Linn. Near High Beach and elsewhere.4
Sanicula europaea, Linn. Chingford, Fairmead.
Conium maculatum, Linn. Sewardstone.
Apium nodiflorum, Reichb. Fairly abundant in ditches.
A. inundatum, Reichb. Nearly fills some of the southern
ponds.
Sium erectum, Huds. Walthamstow.
Pimpinella saxifraga, Linn. Chingford Plain, &c.
OEnanthe fistulosa, Linn. Common on Walthamstow marshes.
CE. crocata, Linn. By the Lea.
OE. phellandrium, Lamk. In the Roding, near Chigwell.
Viburnum opulus, Linn. Near Buckhurst Hill.
Galium mollugo, Linn. About Chingford.
Dipsacus pilosus, Linn. Near Theydon.
Solidago virgaurea, Linn. In the northern part of the
Forest, and increasing.
Anthemis nobilis, Linn. Grassy spots near Walthamstow and
other places; rather abundant.
4 Very common, and apparently wild in old gardens and in Wanstead Park.—W. Cole.
