FLOE A OF THE EXTREME SOUTH OF DEVON. 293 



otherwise more than coramonly interesting among the species that 

 I noticed during four days' search in it with my brother, from July 

 30th to August 2nd of the present year. 



Clematis Vitalba, Linn. About one mile from Kmgsbridge, by 

 the Dartmouth Eoad ; Thurlestone Village ; between Buckland 

 and Bantham. 



Ranunculus Lenormandi, F. Schultz. In a bog close to the 

 coast on the hill- side, immediately east of Sewer Cove. 



Berberis vuhjaris, Linn. A single bush in a hedge by a lane 

 near Lincombe away from houses. 



Papaver Bhceas, Linn., b. striijosum. Seen in the district. 



P. An/emone, Linn. In a potato patch at Thurlestone ; one 

 plant among potatoes at Prawle. 



P. Jnjhndum, hinn. With P. Ar gem one at Thurlestone; in a 

 corn-field at Bolt Head. 



Glaucium luteum, Scop. North Sands, near Salcombe. I have 

 not found the Horned Poppy a common plant in S. Devon. 



Chelidonium majus, Linn. Seen only m one spot between the 

 hamlets of Buckland and Bantham. In Devon and Cornwall it 

 seems always derived fi-om former cultivation. 



Fumaria pallidijiora, Jord. Bank by South Sands, near 

 Salcombe, and between that and the village. One of the. localities 

 given for this plant by Dr. Boswell, in Eng. Bot., ed. 8, is Salcombe, 

 on the authority of Prof. Babington. It is interesting to find it so 

 persistent here. Ilfracombe is the only other place in the county 

 where I have seen it ; and this also is mentioned as a station in 

 Eng. Bot. It seems partial to the neighbom-liood of the sea. 



F. confusa, Jord. This, the common Capreolate Fumitory of 

 the county, was noticed in the district. 



Sinapis alba, Linn. In a field of potatoes at West Alvington ; 

 and in one other spot. Looking more like a " colonist," less of a 

 ** casual," than about Plymouth. 



Arabis hirsuta, Brown. In one spot in the churchyard at 

 Kingsbridge. 



Senebiera didyma,'PeYS. lungsbridge ; West Alvington ; Thurle- 

 stone ; Buckland. A plant that generally abounds in our villages, 

 esiDecially if situated near salt water. 



Viola hirta, Linn. Only noticed about a mile and a half from 

 Kingsbridge, by the Dartmouth road. 



Drosera rotundifolia, Linn. In a bog on the hill-side, east of 

 Sewer Cove. There are now few suitable spots for it in the highly 

 cultivated and rich arable tract about Kingsbridge, forming part of 

 the fertile South Hams of Devon. 



Poli/rjala depressa, Wender. Seen in one or two spots. 



Mcenchia erecta, Sm. Bolt Head. 



Saijina ciliata, Fries. Sewer. 



S. subulata, Wimm. Bolt Head; Prawle Point. It was 

 interesting to see this species, that is common on Dartmoor, 

 growing on the most southern headlands of the warm sea-coast. 



Spergularia nerflecta, Syme, E. B. Seen by the tidal water. 



S. marginata, Syme. By the inlet at Blanks Mill.
