LLANDUDNO PARISH. 181 



Borago officinalis. Common borage. Diganvvy. 



Echium vulgare. Common viper's bugloss. 

 Diganwy. 



Lycopsis arvensis. Small bugloss. Common. 



Primula elalior. Oxlip. On the N. side of 

 Orme's-Head. 



Convolvulus arvensis. Small bindweed. Llan- 

 dudno. 



Convolvulus soldanella. Sea bindweed. On the 

 banks of the Conway. I am not aware, that 

 any author has noticed the early formation of 

 the cotylydons in the unripe seed of this plant. 

 Spallanzani took considerable pains to shew, 

 by the assistance of powerful microscopes, 

 that the seeds of spartium junceum, the Spa- 

 nish broom of our shrubberies, were discerni- 

 ble in the ovary of that plant immediately 

 after the flower was expanded. In the sea 

 bindweed, proofs of impregnation are as dis- 

 tinctly afforded to the naked eye. Each per- 

 fect seed, while scarcely of full size, contains 

 a pellucid glutinous juice, like the white of an 

 egg, in which are inclosed two perfect seed- 

 lobes, of a full green colour, folded up like 

 the unexpanded petals of a flower in its calyx. 



C. sepium. Great bindweed. Common at 

 Eglwys Rhos. 



Viola hirta. Hairy violet. Orme's-Head and 

 Gloddaeth.
