FLORA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 



Mcenchia erecta, Sm. — Trusliam, iu several places ; Haldon (Fl. 

 Dev.), western slope, near the top. 



Cerastiiun tetrandnun, Curt. — Haldon, near the top ("Haldon" 

 through the rest of this paper will mean the western slope of the 

 hill, and, as a rule, not far from the top) ; Chudleigh Kocks. 



Stcllarid aqiiatica, Scop. — Trusham ; here and there along the 

 little stream flowing through the village ; flowering every year, but 

 in uncertain quantity. By the Bovey at Jews' Bridge ; and by 

 the canal about half-way between Teigngrace and Newton Abbot ; 

 abundant. Meadow south of Newton Abbot ("near Newton," Mr. 

 Jordan in Phytol. i. 827, o. s.), only one plant seen in 1881. 

 The authors of Fl. Dev, evidently did not thoroughly understand 

 this genus. In Mr. Jones's herbarium (lately presented by his 

 sister to the Albert Memorial Museum at Exeter), the specimen 

 labelled " S. nemurum, near Chudleigh Bridge, Hon. and Rev. W. 

 Annesley," — on the faith of which this species is in Fl. Dev. 

 claimed as a Devon plant, — is the large form of S. media which so 

 often grows with the var. umbrusa, and dift'ers from it only by its 

 pubescent calyx and pedicels. In the same herbarium there are 

 two sheets of specimens labelled Cera ati urn aquaticum ; one from 

 " the Dart banks near Totnes," scrap -like, but apparently rightly 

 named; the other tine well-marked S. umbrosa, from "meadows 

 between Exton and Woodbury, Mr. Jervis." Among several other 

 strange mistakes in this collection are the following, which I might 

 better have mentioned above : — " Ranunculus Jiirsutus, Lympston," 

 is R. sceleratus ; '' Papaver dubiiim, Ilsington," is P. PJimas^ b. 

 striffosum; and (on another sheet) " P. dubiwm, neSbV Mt. Pleasant," 

 is P. Rhaas, with hairs on stem partially adpressed, and rather 

 lengthened fruit. 



S. media, With., d. umbrosa. — Trusham and Chudleigh. Locally 

 common. 



Satjina ciliata, Fries. — Christow ; Trusham ; Chudleigh Rocks ; 

 Wolborough Down. Usually very abundant in favourable 

 situations. 



S. subulata, Wimm. — Near Dunsford Bridge ; Christow and 

 Cauonteign Downs ; Bovey Heathfield ; Heyton Down, Briyys ; 

 Haldon (Fl. Dev.). 



Speryuhiria rubra, Fenzl. — Manaton ; Moreton; Heytor Down, 

 Bfiijijs ; Trusham, rather common ; Chudleigh Rocks ; Knighton 

 Heath. I expect very generally distributed, though often in small 

 quantity. 



Sclera'Htlais annuus, L. — Near Moreton, locally common; 

 Christow and Canonteign Downs, frequent ; field near Hennock 

 Reservoir; Doddiscombe Leigh; Ashton. In Trusham rather 

 common, and always associated with the last-named species, 

 Satjina ciliata, and Mmichia erecta. 



Hypericum Andrusamuin, L. — Nitton Cleave; Ashton; Trusham; 

 Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.), " The Rocks" and elsewhere. Uncommon and 

 usually in small quantity. 



H. cnlycinum, L. — Lane near Tottiford Farm, Hennock. A. 

 denizen, well established in this instance.
