122 FLORA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 



Alchemilla vulgaris, Li. — Near Fernworthy, on Dartmoor, Bririgs. 

 Apparently only on or near the moor. 



PotentiUa procumhens, Sibtli. — Manaton ; Ashton ; Trusliam ; 

 Cliudleigli. Usually on roadside banks, very variable in character. 



P. argentea, L. — Near Moreton, on the top of a hill about two 

 miles north of the town, several plants. Christow ; on Christow 

 and Canonteign Downs, in considerable quantity at intervals ; and 

 on rocky banks in the Teign Valley. Trusliam ; rather common 

 in rocky places. Near Newton Abbot, between the town and Wol- 

 borough Church, here and there along the common. Not recorded 

 from Devon until discovered by me at Trusham in 1876 ; but it 

 seems not unlikely that the authors of Fl. Dev. mistook this 

 species for P. verna, which they report from " Kora and Pen Woods, 

 near Ilsington, frequent." 



Ruhus Idaus,!^. — Gidleigh, Briggs ; near Chagford (Eav. FL), 

 at Holly Street; by Tingle and Dunsford Bridges; Trusham, by 

 the river and elsewhere, but uncommon ; on Haldon, especially 

 abundant towards the top ; near Moreton ; and near North Bovey 

 (Fl. Dev.); rather common. Native, I am inclined to think, in 

 most of these stations. 



H. suherectus, Anders. — By the river at Hollow Street, and near 

 Dunsford Bridge ; Doddiscombsleigh," in a wooded hollow just 

 below Haldon, Briggs; wooded place a little below Beetor Bridge, 

 on the Bovey, Briggs. 



R. fissus, Lindl. — Near Chagford, Briggs; near Moreton, under 

 "the Hill," in considerable quantity; by the Bovey, not far from 

 North Bovey. Akin to this is a bramble, which occurs on Black 

 Lea Down, Trusham (among furze bushes), which Mr. Briggs 

 considers to be R. opaciis, Focke. 



R. plicatus, W. & N. — Near Fingle Bridge, among bracken ; by 

 the Teign, near "Teign House," Briggs; near Moreton, with R. 

 fissus, but in much smaller quantity. 



R. hemistemon, Miill. — Prof. Babington so names a bramble 

 which Mr. Briggs brought me from near Chagford ; and he thinks 

 that another which I sent him from Knighton Heath is " probably " 

 the same, though the sepals are not quite satisfactory. The latter 

 is very like the Black Lea R. opaciis, Focke. New record for the 

 county. 



P. ajinis, W. & N. — Near Chagford ; hillside above left bank of 

 the Teign, immediately above Dunsford Bridge (probably b. Imti- 

 ginosiis), Briggs; Christow and Canonteign Downs; Ashton and 

 Trusham, common ; near Moreton, and by the Bovey at North 

 Bovey, locally abundant ; Heytor Down, Briggs ; Knighton Heath, 

 in considerable quantity, and rather variable. Of one very luxu- 

 riant form from this station. Prof. Babington writes : — "I think 

 that this is a form of a [finis very near to what I called porpligraceus 

 (Focke) for Mr. Groves and Mr. Townsend"; its place seems be- 

 tween plicatus and ajfinis. Certainly the most frequent of the 

 Suberecti group, and usually the easiest to distinguish.
