SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 15 



tucidulus, Klein. Although referred to C. comjn-essus by Thwaites, 

 Nees and Steudel both place it in a separate paragraph of the 

 genus. This species is new to the Chinese flora. 



55. Polypodiuin hirtellum, BL In summo monte Tai-mo-shan, 

 i.e., * mons ingens molarum ' e regione ins. Hongkong, alt. 3000 

 pect, d. 23 Februarii, 1877, coll. T. Sampson. Found hithei-to 

 only in Java and Ceylon. The Ceylon fern (C. P. 3902) 

 given me by Dr. Thwaites as named by Su- William Hooker 

 himself P. lasiosorum, is certamly not distinct, nor has it the long 

 stalk figm-ed by Blume (' Fl. Jav. Fil.' t. 46, f. 6) on which its 

 distinction was mainly based. Thwaites' C. P. 3921, P. jjcirasiticum, 

 var. latiusculum (not j^^^osmsculum, as misnamed by Mr. Wall, 

 • Cat. of Ceylon Ferns,' p. 7) appears to me distmct from the species 

 to which it is referred, and nearer the present one. 



56. Pohjpodktm lineare, Thunb. In m. Siao-wu-tai-shan, Jul., 

 1876, coll. W. Hancock. Although occurrmg in Japan, and at 

 various points along the Chinese coast, this is, I beheve, the most 

 northerly point on the Asiatic mamland where it has been hithei*to 

 gathered. The Eussian writers and Milde do not mention it as 

 occiuTing in the Peking district, Manchui-ia, or Siberia. 



57. Cijstopteris montana, Link. In m. Siao-wu-tai-shan. 

 W. Hancock. This is the first record of this fern from Eastern 

 Asia, so far as I am aware. The specimens agree perfectly with 

 Norwegian ones. 



58. Cystopjieris fragilis, Bemh. Cum priore. 



59. Woodsia glabella, K. Br. Cum duabus prsBcedentibus. 

 Now first recorded from China, but it had been previously found in 

 Dahmia, Siberia, and Sachalin. 



60. Hymenophylliim (§ Glabra^) emersum, Baker. In rupibus 

 summi montis Tai-mo-shan (mons ingens molarum) adversus 

 Hongkong, alt. 3000 ped., d. 23 Februarii, 1877, coll. T. Sampson. 

 Only known j)reviously fi'om Ceylon and Mamitius. 



NOTES ON SOME SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 



By THE Kev. W. Moyle Piogeks. 



I. — Inland. 



All the plants recorded here have been observed by me in the 

 course of the last twelve months in the parish of Trusham, or its 

 immediate neighbourhood. Trusham is a small j^arish of between 

 700 and 800 acres, lying about midway between Exeter and Dart- 

 moor, on the south-west slope of the Haldon Hills, the crests of 

 which rise between it and the nearest sea-coast, nine miles distant, 

 at Dawlish. It has for its contiguous parishes Hennock and 

 Christowe on the west, with the river Teign as boundary between, 

 Chudleigh on the south and east, and Ashton on the north. The
