observed during the Summer 0^1835. 245 



sea. Aug. 4. I have no doubt that this is only a variety of 

 V. canina, caused by its growing in loose sand. 



V. Curlisu. With the above. It does not appear to be more 

 than a variety of V. [sp. not named in MS.], caused by situation ; 

 yet all the specimens examined by me retained the characters 

 pointed out by Mr. Forster. (Eng. Bot. Suppl., t. 2693.) 



Rosa Wilsom. On a sloping bank, close to the Menai, 

 between two stone quarries, not half a mile (north) from the 

 bridge, on the Caernarvonshire side. One bush is only a 

 few yards from the edge of the quarry nearest to the bridge. 

 Aug. 5., in fruit. 



Qdrum verticilldtum. In plenty on the slope of Dinas 

 Emrys, near Beddgelert, Caernarvonshire ; on the side of 

 that rock farthest from the lake. July 31. 



A'rbutus XJ^nedo. It has been doubted if this plant is in- 

 digenous atKillarney; but I cannot conceive it possible for 

 any person who has observed it on the spot to believe it to 

 have been " introduced by the Monks of Mucross Abbey," 

 which is the theory of the sceptical. It grows in several 

 isolated spots, far up the mountains, and is in its greatest 

 beauty when springing from the crevices of rock on the islets 

 of the upper lake. My conclusion is, that it is truly an abo- 

 riginal native of that country. The fruit is excellent. 



Rumex pratensis. On the canal bank at Llangollen, and 

 in a lane leading from Newborough, Anglesea* to a small 

 lake. I had the satisfaction of gathering this recently distin- 

 guished species at both the above places, in company with 

 my excellent friend Mr. Borrer, who had previously pointed 

 it out to me near his own residence at Henfield, Sussex. 



~Euphorbia coralloides. This plant, which is truly distinct 

 from E. pilosa (with which my friend Dr. Hooker has con- 

 founded it), and is proved to be E. coralloides of Linnaeus, 

 by his herbarium and excellent description in the Amcenitates 

 Academicce, occurs in plenty near the parsonage house at 

 Slinfold, Sussex ; in a lane, and also in the fields adjoining. 

 July 1. It is supposed to have been introduced by Mr. 

 Manningham, who held the living many years since. That 

 the plant published by me in the Supplement to English Bo- 

 tany is the true E. pilosa of Linnseus, there can be no doubt ; 

 and, if E. coralloides had been figured in that work, I should 

 not now have been obliged to make these observations. I 

 trust that Mr. Sowerby will take care to obtain a drawing of 

 it for any continuation of the English Botany, 



Alisma ranimcidbides /3 ripens. In plenty on the margin of 

 Llyn Coron, Anglesea. Aug. 1.
