SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 21 



Cardials te?imjlorus, Curt. At Asliton and Trnsham, abundant. 



Picris hieracioides, Linn. Asliton and Hennock. 



Mentha gentilis, Linn. At Hennock, in rocky bushy gi'ound 

 near Bott Tor. Finds no place as a species in ' Topogr. Bot.' 



2Ielittis Melk^ophijllum, Linn. Frequent in the district. 



Myosotis palustris, With. I have looked in various x^arts of the 

 district for this species, but so far in vain. M. ccespitosa, Schultz., 

 is the usual wet land form; but I have found J/, repeiis, Don., 

 in one meadow on the Hennock side of the Teign, and at Christowe. 



Primula officinalis, Linn., and Phmtar/o media, Linn., are 

 apparently also absent from the district ; far the commonest 

 Plantago in all the unenclosed and wilder parts being P. Coro- 

 nopus, Linn. 



Fiumex pulcher, Linn. Frequent at Trusham and at the 

 Chudleigh Eocks. 



Carpinus Betulus, Linn. Occurs rather frequently in the 

 parishes of Trusham and Chudleigh, on Haldon Hill, and by the 

 Pliver Teign. How far it may claim to be indigenous in most or 

 in any of these stations I do not feel competent to say. In 

 ' Toj)ogr. Bot.' South Devon is one of the many vice-counties 

 bracketed at the end of the records for this tree with the note — 

 " Eecorded, but usually as an ahen." 



Spiranthes autumnalis. Rich. On an open down at Trusham 

 and at Ashton. Lacks personal authority for South Devon in 

 ' Topogr. Bot.' 



Luzula Forsteri, DC. Very abundant ; indeed quite the 

 commonest Luzula throughout the district. L. pilosa, Willd., 

 occurs on Chudleigh Eocks, and (somewhat sj)aringly) in other 

 parts of Chudleigh parish. But elsewhere in the district, except 

 on Haldon Hill, I have not hitherto met with it, L. Forsteri 

 taking its place in wood and lane. 



Scirpus sylvaticus, Lmn. By the Eiver Teign, in Trusham 

 and Ashton parishes. 



Carex lavigata, Sm. One of the commonest Carices through- 

 out the district, as apparently in other parts of South Devon. 



Gastridium lendigerum, Gaud. Li Trusham parish, on a dry 

 bank by the roadside ; a good many plants, but in a very confined 

 station. On a heath, however, between Trusham and Ashton, 

 and also all over a stony field near it, it grows in the greatest 

 profusion. On the south-east Devon coast I know only one station 

 for it — at Exmouth, near the cricket-ground. 



Agrostis setacea, Curtis. A frequent grass throughout the 

 district, and where found usually most abundant. 



Arena pubescens, Linn., is ai)parently absent, as well as the 

 rarer A. pratensis, Linn. 



Poa nemoralis, Linn. Frequent at Trusham, Christowe, and 

 the Chudleigh Eocks. Lacks personal authority for South Devon 

 in * Topogr. Bot.' 



Foa compressa, Linn. On dry banks in Teign Lane. Trusham. 



Triticum caninum, Huds. In a wood by the Chudleigh Eocks
