Lepidium Ruderale

APRIL 1859

Phytologist, n.s. III (Apr. 1859), 127. Appeared in the section entitled “Botanical Notes, Notices, and Queries,” which serves as the running title. Signed “J.S.M.” Not republished. For the identification in Mill’s bibliography, see “Observations on Isatis Tinctoria and Other Plants” above.

lepidium ruderale, stated in the Report of the Greenwich Natural History Society1 to have been growing, last year, in the lane which goes out of the south-west corner of Kidbrook Common, is there in profusion this year also; and so many-seeded a plant having found a locality propitious to it, has every chance of remaining there till the botanist’s crack of doom, “a trowell ticking against a brick.”2

Mentha Pulegium, another plant in the Society’s general list, is flourishing round a small pond on the eastern edge of Chiselhurst Common.

I have had a day in Tilgate Forest, and have succeeded in finding Cicendia. As it was not abundant, I was sparing of it.
