LING (_Calluna vulgaris_).—Amongst the gravel-beds frequent. YELLOW WATER-LILY (_Nuphar lutea_).—In the pond at the viaduct, Lower Heath. Note its flask-like seed-vessels, which have libelled it with the name of ‘brandy-bottle.’ COMMON ARROW-HEAD (_Sagittaria sagittifolia_).—Margins of the same pond. SMALL-FLOWERED HAIRY WILLOW HERB (_Epilobium parviflorum_).—Lower end of old watercourse. SWEETGALE (_Myrica_).—On West Heath.[301] To this list I may add a few other plants found on the Heath and its vicinity by Messrs. Bliss, Hunter and others, leaving out those proper to Caen Wood, which is still rich in the plants that flourished on the Heath and in the woods when Gerard wrote: HENBANE (_Hyoscyamus niger_).—Near the Vale of Health. LESSER CENTAURY (_Erythræa pulchella_).—In the same habitat and on the West Heath. GREAT YELLOW LOOSESTRIFE (_Lysimachia vulgaris_).—In a field near North End. LESSER PERIWINKLE (_Vinca minor_).—Under the hedge in Belsize Lane. BOG PIMPERNEL (_Anagallis tenella_).—Boggy places on the Heath, west side. BLACK WHORTLEBERRY, OR WHINBERRY (_Vaccinium myrtillus_).—On several parts of the Heath. LESSER SKULLCAP (_Scutellaria minor_).—Among the bushes near the bogs on the west side of the Heath, and very abundant on the east side between the Vale of Health and Well Walk. MUSK MALLOW (_Malva moschata_).—In a field between Turner’s Wood and North End. Only two species of moss were said to grow in a bog to the west of the Heath, and these I found still growing there, viz.: _Hypnum stramineum_, straw-like feather moss, and _Hypnum cuspidatum_, pointed bog feather moss. In 1895, the researches of the London Natural History Club added quite a long list to them, and they appear to be as numerous in the bogs and on the Heath as in the strictly preserved precincts of Caen Wood. BENEFACTORS OF HAMPSTEAD AND THE CHARITIES. One of the earliest benefactors of Hampstead was Elizabeth, Dowager Viscountess Campden, widow of Sir Baptist Hicks, the donor of Hicks’s Hall to the county of Middlesex, and Lord of the Manor of Hampstead (whose town house, by the way, was Campden House, Kensington), ‘with whom, in all peace and contentment, she lived, his dear consort and wife, for the space of forty-five years.’
