202 THE SUMMER FLOttA OF BIGBURY BAY, S» DEVON. 



Brassica Sinapioides Roth (Z>. nujra Koch). Extraordinarily 

 abundant about Ringmore ; truly wild. 



PuhjgaUt serpijUacea Weihe. A small and compact form, with 

 flowers of a very bright blue (recalling P. calcarea), and sepals much 

 narrower and shorter than the capsule, was found on the edge of 

 the cliffs above Armour Cove, Ringmore, a very curious habitat for 

 this heath-laud species. 



Silene noctijiora L. Cornfields near the coast, Bigbury ; locally 

 rather plentiful. — S. dichotoma Ehrh. A few specimens in a clover- 

 field near Bigbury ; introduced with the crop. 



SteUaria media Cyr., var. major Koch (8. neglecta Weihe). In a 

 hedge at Orcherton, near Kingston ; not seen elsewhere. 



Arenaria serpyllifolia L., var. ylutinosa Koch. Sands at the 

 mouth of the Avon, opposite Bantham ; scarce. I could not find 

 var. Lloydii (Jordan). 



8a<jina maritima Don, var. dehilis (Jordan). By the tidal Avon, 

 below Aveton Giftard. — 5. apetala L., \a,v. prostrata Bab. Frequent 

 on the coast ; a very dense and compact form occurs on the cliffs 

 near Folly Farm. 



Biida rupestris F. J. Hanbury, var. [ilahrescens F. J. Hanbury. 

 I examined the Kingston station for this "variety" most care- 

 fully, but without success, and suspect that it is only a state of 

 extra dry seasons ; not one instance of deviation from type could 

 be found there during the wet summer of last year. The locality 

 is very restricted, so that I could hardly have overlooked the plant, 

 had it occurred. 



Hypericum perforatum. L., var. angusti/olia Gaud. Lane between 

 Churchstovv and Malborough ; well marked. The beautiful form 

 (or variety) H. lineolatum. Jordan is plentiful beside the Avon, near 

 Hatch Bridge. — H. undulatum Schousb. In a shady lane between 

 Kingston and Modbury. 



Erodium vioschatum L'Heritier. Very uncommon; only seen at 

 Bigbury village. 



Melilotus arvensis Wallr. and M, alba Desr. Clover-fields about 

 Bigbury ; the former is frequent. 



Lotus hispidus Desf. Locally plentiful all along the coast. L. 

 angustissimus was sought for unsuccessfully. 



Vicia lutea L. Cliffs near Bigbury ; very rare. Only one station 

 (Cornish) is given for this in Ft. Plymouth. 



Primus spinosa L., var. macrocarpa Wallr. Rocky banks of the 

 Avon, between Bigbury and Aveton Giflard ; assented to by Dr. 

 Focke as true P. fruticans Weihe. With it was associated a form 

 of the type having the leaves remarkably pubescent beneath. — P. 

 Cerasus L. In hedges near Bigbury ; it did not look much like an 

 "introduction." 



Rubus suberectus Anders. Here and there in woods near Kings- 

 ton. — R. nitidus Wh. & N, By the Avon, a little below Hatch 

 Bridge. — R. holerythros Focke. I am pretty sure that I saw this 

 common plant of my own neighbourhood about Kingston, but un- 

 fortunately no specimens were preserved. — R. imbricatus Hort. By 

 the Avon, close to the above-mentioned station for R. nitidus. —
