180 FLORA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 



Pieris hieracioides, L. — Ashton and Hennock ; rare. About 

 Chudleigh, iu faii-ly good quantity, and especially abundant towards 

 the Haldon race-course. Between Chudleigh Bridge and Chudleigh 

 Knighton. 



Helminthia ecJdoides, Gaert. — Ashton, " Quiet Land." Hennock ; 

 occasionally by the river. About Chudleigh. 



Tragoporjoii pratensis, L. — Trusham ; Haldon; Chudleigh (Fl. 

 Dev.j ; Newton Abbot. Kather uncommon. Usually, if not always, 

 b. minor. 



Taraxacum officinale, h., b. erythrosjjermum. — Trusham and Chud- 

 leigh ; rather common in rocky cuttings, &c. a.palustre. Common 

 on heaths and in wet meadows. 



Lactuca mnralis, Fresen. — On damp wall between Bovey and 

 Lustleigh ; also on a wall close to a farmhouse very near Lust- 

 leigh village. Brums; in wood to north-east of Lustleigh, on the 

 Moreton Road. No doubt native. Very rare in S.W. England. 



Crepis tar axacif alia, Thuil. — Trusham, among sown grass ; one 

 plant, 1881. A colonist, of course, as elsewhere in the county.

II . UDibellatwn, L. — Holly Street ; between Chagford and More- 

 ton ; Moreton ; by Canonteign Waterfall ; Whiteway Woods, near 

 Chudleigh ; Kingsteignton. To this species also probably belong 

 some very young jDlants that I have seen in Nitton Cleave, and 

 between Bovey Tracey and Heytor. The apparent absence from 

 the district of H. vulgatum, Fries, and H. horeale, Fries, is 

 remarkable.

 and Beetor Bridge, Sept., 1881, Briggs.

 cultivated land, 1881. Ashton and Trusham; in several fields

 Lustleigh ; downs about Heytor. Absent from considerable portions 

 of the district. 



Vinca minor, L. — Doddiscombsleigh ; Ashton ; Trusham ; Kings- 

 teignton ; hedges and borders of woods, often extending for a 

 considerable distance. Also by the river bank for a short distance
