Postscript.
As a further addition to my list of plants, I have received the
following from A. G. More, Esq., F.L.S.—those without localities being
communicated to him by the late Mr. Borrer as found in the Forest:—
Wahlenbergia hederacea, Reich., Ivy-leaved Bell Flower. Near Lyndhurst,
272.
Sium latifolium, Lin., Broad-leaved Water Parsnep. _See_ Bromfield, in
the _Phytologist_, vol. iii. p. 403; 464.
Trifolium medium, Lin., _Zigzag_ Trefoil. Near Lyndhurst, 683.
Utricularia intermedia, Hayne, Intermediate Bladderwort, 876.
Carex limosa, Lin., Green-and-Gold Carex, 1244.
A word or two may here be added concerning the only true species of
cicada (_Cicada hæmatoides_) which we have in England, and which has
hitherto been only found in the New Forest. Mr. Farren, in June, 1858,
was fortunate enough to take a specimen sitting on the stem of the
common brake, being attracted to it by its peculiar monotonous humming
noise. On the second of June, 1862, he captured two others, which rose
from the fern, with their curious zigzag flight, and at the same time
heard two more.
Mr. Farren, to whom I am indebted for the above information, has kindly
sent me the following drawing, made by his brother, from one of the
living specimens captured in the Forest.
