FLORA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 71 



I have in preparation, on the Eoses, I have thought it best to 

 reserve for the present. 



As this paper deals only with the rarer plants observed by Mr. 

 Briggs and myself, in a well-defined area within the last five years, 

 I have as a rule given all the stations in which the more interesting 

 species have been seen by either of us. Though my adoption of 

 such a course has involved some little repetition of matter pre- 

 viously communicated — which I much regret — I hope it will be 

 thought excusable as tending towards greater completeness, and 

 for convenience of reference. 



" The Bovey " is the local name for the West Teign or Wrey, 

 the chief tributary of the Teign proper. After flowing through 

 the parishes of North Bovey, Moreton-hampstead (written 

 " Moreton " in this paper), Lustleigh, Bovey Tracey, and Chud- 

 leigh Knighton, this stream joins the main river at Teigngrace. 



Clematis Vitalba, L. — Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.) ; abundant on "The 

 Eocks " and elsewhere in the neighbourhood, especially towards 

 Haldon ; about Newton Abbot. Not improbabl}^ overlooked in some 

 places, but certainly very local, and perhaps occurring only on 

 limestone. 



Fumunculus peltatus, Fries. — By the Bovey, near Jews' Bridge ; 

 near Newton Abbot, by the Teign and in water meadows on both 

 sides of the town. 



R. Leyiormandi, F. Schultz. — North Bovey, near the Bovey; by 

 the Teign at Dunsford Bridge, and between Sparrow and Crocombe 

 Bridges ; hollow between Christow Down and Canonteign Down ; 

 marshy place between Ashton and Trusham. In ditches at 

 Trusham I have found it associated with Pi. hederaceus, L. 



R. sceleratus, L. — Between Kingsteignton and Newton Abbot; 

 and by the river at Newton Abbot. 



R. auricomus, L. — Wood in Hennock, not far from the river, 

 S.E. of Crocombe Bridge; Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.), woods at *' The 

 Eocks " and elsewhere near the town. 



R. hirsutus, L. — Border of Knighton Heath, Briggs; near 

 Newton Abbot, Briggs. 



R. iKirvifiorus, L. — Very common in Trusham and the contiguous 

 parishes. 



Aquilegia vulgaris, L. — Near Dunsford, Briggs. Canonteign 

 Down and Nitton Cleave. Near Ilsington (Fl. Dev.), Briggs. 

 Hennock; Ashton; Trusham; Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.). In bushy 

 and heathy places ; usuaUy in no great quantity, but I think un- 

 doubtedly native. 



Berheris vulgaris, L. — In a copse at Hennock, near a garden ; in 

 a lane in Ashton, not far from an orchard. A denizen, I think, in 

 both places. 



Papaver RhcBas, L., b. strigosum. — Trusham and Ashton ; 

 occasional. 



P. diibium, L., a. Lamottei. — "Holly Street," Chagford ; Cliag- 

 ford and neighbourhood, Briggs ; near Moreton ; Trusham (only 

 a plant or two once). 



P. Argemone, L. — Chagford and neighbourhood, Briggs. Near
