FLOKA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 179 



Ashton; Trusham ; Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.); Haldon; BoveyTracey; 

 Knighton Heath. Rather frequent. 



Artemisia Absinthium, L. — Ashton and Trusham, in several 

 spots. Denizen. 



A. vulgaris, L., b. coarctata. — Chagford ; near Moreton, Bricfgs. 

 This, or a form very near it, seems commoner than the type in the 

 district. 



Filago minima, Fries. — Christow and Canonteign Downs ; 

 Trusham ; Haldon ; Heytor Down, Briggs. 



Gnaphalium sglvaticiun, L. — A single plant in an enclosure at 

 Fernworthy; near Chagford (Rav. Fl.), by gravelly roadsides on a 

 common, Briggs; Christow and Canonteign Downs, in and near 

 enclosures in great quantity, October, 1881 ; Ashton, on the heath 

 locally known as " Quiet Land," one plant, October, 1881. Mr. 

 Briggs found this plant under the shelter of a furze bush, and we 

 made a long but fruitless search for more. The land here shows no 

 signs of having been broken up ; but the grass between the bushes 

 is usually kept close cropped by sheep. Very rare in the south-, 

 west. Although I can find no mention of this species in Fl. Dev., 

 there is a specimen of it in the Jones Herbarium labelled " Chag- 

 ford. From Rev. G. B. Warner, 1849." 



Senecio sylvaticus, L. — Holly Street ; Moreton ; Canonteign 

 Down ; Ashton ; Hennock ; Trusham ; Lustleigh ; Bovey Tracey. 

 Rather common. 



S. erucifolius, L. — Trusham; Haldon; Chudleigh. Decidedly 

 local, but fairly abundant where it occurs. 



Bidms cernua, L. — Teigngrace, 1879, Briggs; and 1880; a good 

 many plants, with the following. 



B. tripartita, L. — Near Dunsford Mill, Briggs ; Ashton, in ditch 

 near Bramble Farm, two or three plants, 1880 and 1881 ; Trusham, 

 m'one place only, 1880 ; by pond in orchard at Ruggadon, between 

 Trusham and Chudleigh, 1880, several plants ; Teigngrace, rare. 



Inula Cojujza, DC. — Moreton ; Ashton ; Hennock ; Trusham ; 

 Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.) ; Chudleigh Knighton. Frequent. 



Erigeron acris, Ij. — Ashton, " Quiet Land " Heath; one plant 

 found by me at the end of Sept., 1881, partly eaten by sheep, but 

 still having three heads of open flowers ; a few days after two more 

 plants (also in flower) were found at no great distance by Mr. 

 Briggs. No doubt native. New record for S. Devon. 



Aster Tripolium, L. — Newton Abbot, and thence to Teignmouth. 



Petasites vulgaris, L. — Ashton ; Trusham ; Chudleigh. Local. 



Cichorium Intyhus, L. — Doddiscombsleigh ; Chudleigh (Fl. 

 Dev.) ; fields to east and south, frequent ; and near the Bridge. 

 Very local. 



Leontodon hispidus, L. — Near Caistor Rock; enclosure at Fern- 

 worthy ; Chagford, near Middleton Hill, Briggs ; Moreton, in the 

 churchyard, and near the railroad, a few plants only, 1881. Chud- 

 leigh ; fields about the town and near the Bridge ; abundant. 

 Haldon ; banks near the race-course and along the road towards 

 Chudleigh ; a plant or two at intervals, 1881. Chudleigh Knigh- 

 ton. Decidedly local, but, I think, increasing in the district.
