232 NOTES ON SOME PLANTS OF NORTH-EAST CORNWALL. 



side between Cakeval, !St. Kew, and St. Endellion Church. 

 Certainly a native species in W. Cornwall, E. Cornwall, and 

 S. Devon. It is generally at no great distance from the sea or 

 tidal waters that it is met with, though it is not so decidedly a 

 salt-marsh plant as R. sceleratits, L., with which it is associated at 

 Amble. 



R. parviflorus, L. — Near Denhams Bridge, toward St. Kew ; 

 St. Endellion. 



Aquilegia vulgaris, L.— Washaway. 



Papaver Argemone, L. — On earth-capped wall near St. Endellion 

 Church. 



CorydaUs claviculata, DC. — St. Kew ; growing plentifully near 

 the village. There seem to be but few localities on record for this 

 plant in the county. 



Fumaria confnsa, Jord. — About St. Kew ; between St. Endellion 

 and Port Isaac ; between Washaway and Egloshayle. The only 

 Fumaria of the CapreolaUE common in Devon and Cornwall, where 

 it seems to be generally distributed. I have failed to comprehend 

 '• F. muralis, Sonder.," either from book-descriptions or specimens 

 so labelled. 



Sinapis nigra, L. — Between St. Kew and Amble ; Port Isaac. 



Barharea jyrcEcox, Brown. — On a hedge-bank near St. Kew 

 Church. 



Nasturtiiuu officinale, Brown. — Growing with remarkable luxu- 

 riance in the tract, and so exhibiting the characters assigned to 

 the so-called var. Hiifolium, having thick stems, erect for a foot or 

 more, with the leaflets nearly uniform in size, and Sium-like in 

 shape. 



Cochlearia oJjicinaUs, L. — Helland ; in plenty for a considerable 

 distance on an elevated and exposed hedge-bank immediately from 

 the turning to the church along the road to Blisland. This 

 station is between three and four miles from tidal water, though 

 open to breezes blowing up from the Camel estuary at that 

 distance. In abundance on hedge-banks between the coast at 

 Port Isaac Bay and St. Endellion Church, extending inland to 

 quite the distance of a mile. The occurrence of this plant in an 

 intermediate sort of station to those respectively assigned to its 

 type form, littoralis, and its variety, alpina, viz., "muddy shores" 

 and "wet places on mountains," is very interesting. In one 

 locality near Plymouth (see ' Flora of Plymouth,' p. 28) it is to be 

 seen growing under very similar conditions ; and here its appear- 

 ance seemed to me so remarkable, that until I found it at these 

 new Cornwall semi-inland stations I had a vague suspicion it 

 might have been carried to the Plymouth one from the coast with 

 sea- weed brought for manure. 



(!. anglica, L. — In the marshy ground at Amble; Egloshayle. 



Draba verna, L. — Wall-top near Amble. I suspect this will be 

 found to be a somewhat local species in Devon and Cornwall. 



Lepidiu)ii Smithii, Hook. — St. Endellion, &c. Probably common 

 throughout the two counties. 



lleacda J^iUcohi, L. — St. Kew Village.
