THE SUMMER FLORA OF BIGBURY BAY, S. DEVON* 203 



E. Lindleianus Lees. Common near Bigbury. — R. erythrinus 

 Genev. Between Ermington and Flete. — in', rhamnij'olius Wh. & N. 

 Not UDfrequent ; a hybrid of this with some other species occurred 

 at Pamllete, above the Erme, opposite Kingston ; Mr. Rogers sug- 

 gests 11. pijramidalls Kalt. as perliaps the second parent. — ti. 

 piUcheriiinus Neum. Ermington, by the river. — ^ii. Questierii 

 Lefv. & Muell. Pamllete ; a very handsome plant, with almost 

 golden-yellow foliage. — R. micuns Gren. & Godr. Perhaps the 

 most abundant species of the district. A very large and beautiful 

 bramble, placed here by Dr. Focke, is much more probably the 

 ofi'spring of a union with R. thijrsiger Bab. — R. leucostachys X 

 rusticanm. Pamllete. — /i. BorcEanus Genev. Common in the 

 valley of the Erme. A hybrid with leucostachys was met with at 

 Pamllete. — R. Ley anus Kogers. Between Ivy bridge and Ermington. 

 —R. oiyoclados Muell. & Lefv. Ivybridge ; Pamllete. Probably not 

 uncommon. — R, thyrsiyer Bab. Plentiful about Kingston, on both 

 sides of the Erme. When growing, this is one of the most marked 

 and showy brambles that 1 have yet seen ; its tall habit, pruinose 

 stems, and large flowers at once catch the eye. Mr. Rogers remarks 

 that my specimens represent a white-felted form, with coarser leaf- 

 cutting and less hairy stems than usual. — *R. serpens Weihe, var. 

 rivularis (Muell. & Wirtg.). A pretty little trailing plant, abundant 

 in the extensive wood adjoining Ivybridge Station. — R. dumetorum 

 Wh. & N. By the Avon, between Hatch Bridge and Aveton 

 Gitfard; both as a./e/oo; Weihe and as a different form, somewhat 

 intermediate between vars. diversif alius and tuberculatus. 



Potentilla procuiiibens x reptans. Bank near the Rectory, Big- 

 bury ; I also noticed it in the woods near Kingston. — "^P. reptans 

 X sUvestris. Ruad-side, about half a mile from Ivybridge towards 

 Ermington ; extending over about twenty yards of the hedge- bank. 

 Eairly intermediate between the parents, which grow together at 

 the spot in plenty. 



Rusa micrantha Smith. The form frequent in this neighbour- 

 hood is so different-looking from the plant of Kent and Surrey 

 that i did not at first recognize it. Prof. Crepin calls it "var.," 

 but gives no special name. Mr. Rogers thinks that the modifications 

 may be due to the mild and rainy climate of S. Devon. — R. obtusi- 

 fulia Desv. Only seen once, near Kingston. — R. canina L., var. 

 aspernata (Deseglise). Near Buckland ; vars. lutetiana, dunialis, 

 and urbica are all common. — R. stylosa Desv., var. systyla (Bast.). 

 Rather frequent. — Var. Leucochroa (Desv.). Remarkably common, 

 characteristic, and constant; it is pernaps better classed as a 

 separate species than as a variety. — Var. pseudo-rusticana Crepin 

 {jide Orepiu). Hedges near Ringmore ; a marked plant, which 

 i rather suspect may be arvensis x ieucockroa. 



t'yrus rotundiJuUa Bechst. [latijuiia Syme). Rocky bank of the 

 Avon, near "The Stakes," above Bigbury. 



Epilobium lanceuiatiim x vwntanum. Quarry at Thurlstone, with 

 E. vwntanum x obscurum, — E. obscurum x parvijionun. Pamflete, 

 and in a quarry at Salcombe. — E . adnatum was only seen at Pam- 

 flete, and E, Lamyi E. Schuitz not at all.
