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.

course confined to the Forest, but still a conspicuous feature, 11.

private letter, 11.*
Ranunculus hirsutus, Curt., Hairy Crowfoot. Roads in the Forest, 22.
Caltha palustris, Lin., Common Marsh Marigold. Forest pools; but, of
