A CONTEIBUTION TOWARDS A FLORA OF THE 

 ■ TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 



By the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, M.A., F.L.S. 

 (Continued from p. 76.) 



Liotus tenuis, Kit. — Ashton, along border of stony field. At 

 Oaklands, Chudleigh, in similar situation. By old clay-pits near 

 Kingsteignton. Very local, but in good quantity in these three 

 stations. 



L. anr/ustisshmis, L. — Ashton, Trusham, and Hennock ; frequent 

 in stony places and on bare downs. As I have not been to the 

 stations given in Fl. Dev. (near Kingsteignton and Bishopsteignton) 

 for L. difusus, I can give no opinion as to which of the segregates, 

 angustissimiis or hispidus, is there intended. There appears to be no 

 specimen of either m the Jones Herbarium. But Mr. Jordan (in 

 Phyt. i. 293) reports finding " L. anf/ustissiums " (" only three 

 specimens") near Teignmouth in 1842. 



OniWiopus perpusillus, L. — Frequent through a great part of the 

 district, fi-om Fingle Bridge to Chudleigh. 



Vicia tetrasperina, Moeuch. — Very common in the lower part of 

 the valley, especially in Ashton, Trusham, and Chudleigh. 



V. gracilis, Lois. — Chudleigh Rocks, July 18, 1879; some small 

 patches flowering and fruiting very freely in broken rocky ground 

 now shut against the public. The only place in the county where 

 I have seen it. 



Lathyrus XissoUa, L. — Trusham, among bushes in rocky ground 

 above the river ; only a few plants, in flower and ripe fruit, Sept. 

 16, 1877, but I see no reason to doubt its being native. 



Orobus tuherosus,'L. — Holly Street, Chagford; Ashton; Haldon; 

 Hennock. Var. tenuifolius occurs with the type at Ashton and 

 Hennock. Rather local. 



Primus insititia, L. — Frequent at Moreton, Trusham, and be- 

 tween Trusham and the top of Haldon ; and probably elsewhere. 



P. domestica, L. — Hedges, Throwleigh and Gidleigh, Briggs ; 

 well-established in several places in Trusham ; Hennock, one tree 

 in hedge near a cottage by the river. A denizen of course. 



P. avium, L. — Observed only at Trusham. 



P. Cerasus, L. — Hedges, Throwleigh and Gidleigh, Briggs; and 

 in neighbom-hood of Moreton, Christow, ond Hennock. 



Agrimonia odorata, Miller. — Teign Valley, near Sandy Park, 

 Chagford ; and by road over Bovey Heathfield, near Stover Lodge, 

 Briggs. Perhaps elsewhere also ; but certainly rare. 



Sanguisorba officinalis, L. — Holly Street, Chagford, in some 

 quantity; Hennock (Fl. Dev.), scarce. Near the river in both 

 stations. 



Poterium Sanguisorba, L. — Christow and Canonteign Downs ; 

 Ashton ; Trusham ; Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.) ; especially abundant at 

 " The Rocks." Rather local.
