The Herbs of this County are most of them the same with those of other Parts of this Kingdom; but the following Plants, which grow wild and plentifully in it, are seldom, or very rarely found in other Counties:
Ascyrum supinum villosum palustre: Marsh St. Peter's wort with woolly Leaves, on a Moorish Ground near Southampton, abundantly.
Alopecuros maxima Anglica paludosa: The great English Marsh Fox tail Grass, in the moist Pastures near the Salt works, and by Drayton House, about two Miles from Portsmouth, plentifully.
Asphodelus palustre Lancastriae: Lancashire, or Bastard Asphodel, on a Bog in an Heath between Sarisbury and Southampton.
Bardana minor, seu Xanthium minus: The lesser Burdock in the London Road from Portsmouth, about three Miles from that Town; but it being an annual Plant, it might not continue long there, yet doubtless will be found near it.
Cissampelos Anglica minima: The least English black Bindweed, about the Parish of Drayton near Portsmouth; its Smallness may arise from the Barrenness of the Soil thereabouts, and if so, 'twill not constitute a different Species.
Dryopteris, or Filix minor palustris repens: True Oak fern, in a wet and boggy Moor, called White row Moor, within a Mile of Petersfield.
Erica maritima Anglica supina: Low Sea heath, found about Portsmouth, as also on the Sea Coasts in Essex and Suffolk.
Malva aborea marina nostras: English Sea tree mallow about Hurst Castle, near the Isle of Wight, where alsos grows
Crithmum Crysanthemum: Samphire with yellow Flowers.
Mercurialis mas & foemina: French Mercury, the male and female, on the Belch near Ryde in the Isle of Wight, plentifully.
Nidus avis, sive Pseudo limodorum: Birds Nest, or Bastard Mud flower, in a Field called Marborn, near Habridg, in Haliborn, a Mile from Alton.
Pulmonaria foliis Echii: Bugloss Cowslips, or long leaved Sage of Jerusalem, in a Wood by Holbury in the New Forest.
