ON SOME NORTH DEVON PLANTS. 15 



LitliosperwAim officinale, L. — Instow Burrows. 



Myosotis ccBspitosa, Schultz. — Near Torrington, in the meadows 

 by the Torridge ; near Umberleigh, by the Taw ; Braunton 

 Burrows. 



M. repens, Don. — Exmoor; Woody Bay. 



Centimculus minimus, L. — Braunton Burrows, not far from their 

 S.E. corner. New record. 



Plantago lanceolata, L., b. Timbali. — Westward Ho, near the 

 beach. 



Clienopodium polyspermum, L. — Near Umberleigh, on sand-bank 

 by the Taw (a. spicatmn) ; several i^lants. New record. 



Polygonum Bistorta, L. — In some wet bushy ground near the 

 last-named species ; only one plant ; denizen (or native). In 

 Topogr. Bot. not admitted as a native for either Devon or Corn- 

 wall. 



Humulus Lupulus, L. — Umberleigh. 



Betula alba, L., c. jnibesceiis. — The Toro, Lynmouth. 



Potamogeton natans, L. — The segregate. Braunton Burrows. 

 In Topogr. Bot. the aggregate only is given for N. Devon. 



P. perfoliatus, L. — In the Taw near Umberleigh. New 

 record. 



P. jnisillus, L. — With the last ; and also on Braunton Burrows. 



Listera ovata. Brown. — W. Lyn Wood. Apparently scarce near 

 the coast. 



Luzula Forsteri, DC. — Woods at Watersmeet (' N. Devon 

 Handbook,' in Keys Fl.) 



Scirpus palustris, L. — Near Torrington ; marshy ground near 

 Umberleigh ; in immense quantity. New record. 



S.Savii, S. & M. — Near Torrington; the type, and b. mono- 

 stachys. 



S. Holoschcenus, L. — Braunton Burrows ; in hollows to the east 

 of the hghthouse, as well as towards the north ; in very consider- 

 able quantity where it occurs, but apparently far less widely dis- 

 tributed over the Burrows than Teucrium, Scordium., L. It is 

 singular that so long ago as 1820 so conspicuous a plant as this 

 should have been searched for in vain, and so should be thought to 

 have become " exterminated by draining and cultivation," as is 

 stated in Fl. Dev. Mr. Maw, in the paper so often referred to 

 above (Phyt. N. S. iv., 789, 790), describes somewhat minutely 

 the position of several hollows in which he had seen it growing. 

 There certainly seems no immediate prospect of its being dislodged 

 " by draining or cultivation " from any of the spots in which I 

 have seen it. 



S. sylvaticiis, Ij.— By the Torridge near Torrington; by the Taw 

 at Umberleigh. 



Carex panicidata, L. — Near Torrington and near Umberleigh. 

 New record ; but previously reported to me by Mr. Evans, who in 

 the early part of last summer sent me from the Westward Ho 

 neighbourhood dried specimens of this, of the three species next 

 noticed, and also of C. pracox, C. pilulifera, and C.fulva, which I 

 have not yet met with iu N. Devon.
