22 SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 



iu some quantit3\ Lacks personal authority for South Devon in 

 'Topogr. Bot; 



Asplcnium scptentrionale, HulL On high rocks between Chud- 

 leigh and Dartmoor — a station discovered by the Rev. H. Eoberts 

 several years ago, and kindly shown by him to me in July last. 

 Not recorded for South Devon in ' Topogr. Bot.' 



Asplenium lanceolatum, Huds. On granite rocks in Hennock 

 parish. 



Aspidium aculeatum, Sw. On shady banks in Hennock and 

 Dunchideock parishes, but very scarce ; the common species of 

 this genus in this district, as apparently in South-east Devon 

 generally, being A. angulare, Willd. 



II. — Maritime. 



The following records are the result, not of a twelve months' 

 stay in one place, but of occasional visits to different points on 

 the coast from Axmouth to Dawlish, made at uncertain intervals 

 from 1872 to 1877 ; but chiefly (from Sidmouth as a centre) in 

 the sx^ring of 1876, and (from Exmouth as a centre) in the early 

 part of August, 1877. Some of the less common plants observed 

 during these visits are mentioned with maritime as well as inland 

 stations in the preceding notes ; and to these no further reference 

 is made in what follows here. 



Nuphar liitea, Sm. In the Eiver Clyst, by the village of Clyst 

 St. Mary, near Topsham ; frequent. The same river is given for 

 it in ' Flora Devoniensis.' Lacks personal authority for South 

 Devon in ' Topogr. Bot.' 



Cramhe maritima, Linn. Cliffs between Sidmouth and Sal- 

 combe Beach ; fairly abundant, but mostly out of reach, in May, 

 1876. Station given in ' Flora Devoniensis.' 



Diplotaxis tenuifolia, DC. Exmouth Harbour ; a few plants. 



Cochlearia anglica, Linn. In great abundance on the left bank 

 of the River Axe, between the village of Axmouth and the mouth 

 of the river. Also near Ottermouth, and by the stream at Wood- 

 bury Road station. 



Cerastium semidecandrum, L. This chickweed, so rare about 

 Plymouth (see Journ. Bot., No. 143, p. 32), and which in ' Topogr. 

 Bot.' is queried for South Devon, is exceedingly abundant on 

 Dawlish Warren and at Budleigh Salterton. It is also to be found 

 in some quantity, and of very large size, near the top of Salcombe 

 Hill, Sidmouth ; but both in that neighbourhood and in most 

 parts of the South-east Devon coast it appears much less general 

 than the very common C. tetrandrum, Curt., which also prevails 

 inland, on Haldon Hill and at the Chudleigh Rocks, where 

 C. semidccavdrum seems wholly absent. C. pinnilum, Curt., which 

 Mr. Townsend has found near Torquay, I have looked for in vain 

 further east. On Dawlish Warren the unfailing companion of 

 C. semidecandrum is the SteUaria media, b. BorcEuna. 



Hypericum montanum, L. Frequent between Sfiaton and 

 Beer. 



Malva rotundifolia, L. This mallow, which Mr. Briggs
