b NOTES ON THE FLORA OF DENBIGHSHIRE 



cumstances, the botanical results obtained are not altogether 

 unsatisfactory. 



The present paper is concerned only with the Phanerogamia 

 and Pteridophyta. The cryptogamic vegetation of the county 

 has hitherto received scant attention, and I am uncertain as to 

 whether it will be possible to include this within the scope of 

 the work in view. I would take this opportunity of inviting 

 assistance and information towards the complete Flora, as the 

 co-operation of all local observers and botanists is essential to the 

 successful accomplishment of the undertaking. The similarity 

 between many Welsh place-names is sometimes a cause of trouble 

 to the " Sassenach," so it is important to distinguish in the follow- 

 ing list between such places as Nant-y-glyn (near Colwyn Bay) 

 and Nantglyn (near Denbigh). Llanrhaiadr (in the Vale of 

 Clwyd) must not be confused with Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant, and 

 care is needed in distinguishing the various Llanarmons. All 

 records in this paper in which the Eiver Clywedog is mentioned 

 refer to the tributary of the Clwyd, which must not be confounded 

 with the other Denbigh river of the same name which flows into 

 the Dee not far from Wrexham. 



Clematis Vitalba L. Hedgerow in Beach Eoad, Old Colwyn, 

 Ogle ; occurred as a ballast plant at Colwyn Bay some years ago, 

 Eussell ; slopes of the Little Orme in front of Ty-ucha farm, 

 about a quarter of a mile east of the Marine Hydro, Llanddulas, 

 1910, Hodge ; Gronwen Wood, near Pen-y-llan Bridge, Erbistock, 

 Loftus ; a young plant among shingle on beach near Llanddulas ; 

 in a garden hedge between Euthin Church and the Corwen road ; 

 in fair quantity in the hedge just beyond Ehewl, towards Den- 

 bigh ; on the right bank of the Clywedog, five miles from Denbigh, 

 close to Ehewl : thicket by first cross-roads north of Llandyrnog ; 

 waste ground by the church below the "Wynnstay Arms," Euthin. 



Thalictrum minus L. Pont-y-mwynwr, Llanferres, Hb. Potts ; 

 World's End, Eglwysegle Eocks, near Llangollen, 1865 (Whitwell), 

 Hb. Jones. Limestone rocks near Llysfaen ; the Leet. 



T. flavumlj. Pont-y-mwynwr, Llanferres, Hb. Botts. — Var. 

 majus Crantz. Llansilin, 1875, Hb. Jones (probably var. rufinerve 

 Lej. & Court). 



■''Adonis annua L. Near Bettws-yn-Ehos, Thomas. 



Banunculiis fluitans Sm. Mouth of Eiver Ddulas. 



B. Drouetii E. Schultz. In a pool at the lower and western 

 end of the wood, Caerwys, where the stream is dammed up, Hodge. 

 '■'B. heterojJiyllus Weber. An aquatic Banunculus, which I 

 believe to be this species, occurs in fair quantity in the Conway 

 just below the railway bridge, between Llanrwst and Bettws-y- 

 Coed. Already recorded for Denbighshire + by Mr. J. Griffith 

 [Fl. Anglesea), " in a small pond near Deganwy." 



B. peltatus Schrank. Pen-y-bont, 1870, Hb. Jones. Moelfre 



t Politically, Deganwy is in the county of Carnai'von, but in one of the 

 three isolated portions before referred to, which for all scientific purposes must 

 be regarded as part of Denbighshire.
