Hordeum maritimum, With., Sea Barley. Very common along the whole of the east coast. “By the roadside from Cadenham” (more probably Hythe) “to Marchwood,” W. A. Bromfield. See Watson’s New Botanist’s Guide, vol. ii., p. 571.; 1369.[294]

In the next division are placed more especially those plants which either grow only in the Forest, or form a peculiar feature in its landscapes, such as Eriophorum angustifolium, Gentiana Pneumonanthe, Drosera rotundifolia, and intermedia, Narthecium ossifragum, Melittis Melissophyllum, and the Carices, Airæ, and Agrostes generally. The rest will be found in the third division, as common both to the Forest and the adjoining districts. As the Ferns and St. John’s-worts have been so fully mentioned in [Chapter XXI]., they will not be again noticed.

Ranunculus aquatilis, Lin., Water Crowfoot. Streams and pools, not of course confined to the Forest, but still a conspicuous feature, 11.
Ranunculus tripartitus, D. C., Three-parted-leaved Crowfoot, “with Limosella aquatica, in splashy places by the roadside, just beyond the bridge, as you leave Brockenhurst for Lyndhurst,” H. C. Watson, in a private letter, 11.*
Ranunculus hirsutus, Curt., Hairy Crowfoot. Roads in the Forest, 22.
Caltha palustris, Lin., Common Marsh Marigold. Forest pools; but, of course, in the district generally, 26.
Aquilegia vulgaris, Lin., Common Columbine. Very common round Wootton, but may be found with Hypericum androsæmum in the old woods of Mark Ash, Gibb’s Hill, Winding Shoot, and Boldrewood, 31.
Nymphæa alba, Lin., White Water Lily. Forest streams. Not so common as the next, but still a feature, 36.
