FLORA OF TEIGN BASIN, S. DEVON. 207 



A, Smithii, Syme. — Moreton ; Ashton, Briggs. 



Piumex pulcher, L. — Trusliam, abundant in shallow rocky 

 soil; about Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.), especially on " The Eocks." 



B. prateitsis, M. & K. — Trusham. Probably overlooked elsewhere. 

 Polygonum lapathifoUum, L. — Moreton ; Trusham ; Chudleigh 



(Fl. Dev.) ; Chudleigh Knighton ; Teigngrace. Usually in 

 small quantity. 



Buxus sempervirens, Li. — Lanes about Trusham and Chudleigh. 

 Frequent in the hedges, where it flowers freely when uncut. No 

 doubt planted in every case. 



Euphorbia exigua, L. — Ashton and Trusham. Colonist. Locally 

 abundant. 



Parietaria difusa, Koch. — Ashton ; Chudleigh Eocks, and else- 

 where about Chudleigh ; Ilsington, Briggs. Decidedly local. 



Urtica urens, 1j. — About Moreton ; Hennock ; Trusham; Bovey 

 Tracey. Seldom at any distance from houses. 



Humulus Lupulus, L. — Moreton; Trusham; Chudleigh (Fl. 

 Dev.); Bridford, Briggs. Usually native, I think. 



Quercus Robicr, L., c. sessilijiora. — Moreton Wood above Fingle 

 Bridge, Briggs ; Dunsford Bridge ; Haldon ; Hennock. Appa- 

 rently very uncommon. 



Carpinus Betulus, L. — Trusham, Hennock, and Chudleigh 

 Woods and lanes by the river ; rather frequent. 



Betula alba, L., a. verrucosa. — Near Dunsford, Briggs; Ashton;

Populiis tremula, L. — Haldon, towards Doddiscombsleigh, 

 Briggs; Knighton Heath, Briggs. 



Salix fragilis, L. — Trusham, in two or three places ; probably 

 planted in all. I have given so little time to the study of this 

 genus that no great reliance should be placed in my notes on the 

 distribution of its species in the district. Cinerea and aurita are 

 common and generally distributed; Caprea, I think, is not so 

 frequent. 



S. viminalis, L. — Near Kuigsteignton, and in a few other places, 

 but usually planted.

 or fruit.

 Kingsteigton and Chudleigh (Fl. Dev.).

 Bramble Brook and in meadows at Trusham ; between Moreton 

 and Lustleigh ; by the Bovey ; Newton Abbot. Eather common. 



S. simplex, Huds. — About Moreton ; Christow, pool in Teign 

 Valley, in plenty ; Hennock, by the reservoir, in immense quantity ; 

 Trusham, meadows ; Teigngrace.
