44 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF DENBIGHSHIRE 



L. ovata Br, Pont-y-mwynwr, Llanferres, lib. Potts. Chirk, 

 1859, Hb. Harris. Near Llangollen, 1859, Os70. F. C. Near 

 "Julia's Bower" [Gallt faenan] , Fl. B. Woods by the quarry 

 near Denbigh, Fl. B. ; conf., A. A. D. Abundant in woods on 

 banks of the Meirchion, Fl. B. Tower Hill, Abergele, Thovias. 

 Eight bank of Elwy below Pont Newydd, Stapleton. Pen-y-llan, 

 Erbistock, Loftus. Woods about the Cefn Caves, Hodge. Eailway 

 embankment, Colwyn Bay, Bussell. In the woodland by the 

 limestone quarry north-west of Euthin. Nant-y-garth. Eoadside 

 north of Pentre bwlch, between Llangollen and Euthin. Near 

 Gresford. Erbistock. 



'•' Spiranthes sjnralis Koch. Plentiful on the slope just above 

 the church [Llandudno] , Inchbald. Bryn Euryn and fields about 

 Little Orme, abundant, Bussell. Miss Thomas tells me that she 

 has been informed that this occurs in the Gresford area. The 

 precise station is advisedly suppressed. Plentiful on the limestone 

 slopes and in some of the old pastures about Llysfaen. A typical 

 plant of the carboniferous limestone elevations in the littoral 

 portion of the county. 



Helleborine latifolia Druce. In Gloddaeth and Bodsgallen 

 woods, Inchbald. " Mr. Meyer found one specimen on the road 

 which runs up the river parallel to it (not the cart-road but the 

 main road) on the Denbigh side of Pont Newydd. Nearly opposite 

 Salmon Leap," Fl. B. " Seen in two or three places about Llan- 

 silin." In a field above the Dingle at Glascoed, near Llansilin, 

 Miss Jones. Hedgeside of wood, Llanelian Eoad, Bussell. Near 

 Mochdre, ibid. In the woods by Dyffryn Aled, between Llan- 

 sannan and Henllan, 1910. This confirms a record of Bingley's 

 of more than a century ago : " Serajjias latifolia, Common Helle- 

 borine. By the roadside leading from Henllan to Llansannan, 

 Denbighshire, about two miles from the former place." Wood by 

 the Elwy north of Pont-yr-allt-goch. Woodland skirting road 

 between Cyft'yiliog and Melin-y-moch. Near Clocaenog. Wood 

 south-east of Nantglyn. Near Ehwng-y-ddwy afon (a solitary 

 plant). Coed-y-pentre, Cyffylliog. Coed-y-fron, Clocaenog. Wood 

 by roadside north-west of Derwen, near Ffynnon -Sarah. Wood 

 between Euthin and Clocaenog. By " Lady Bagot's Drive," 

 between Ehewl and Pont uchel. In the Leet, not far from the 

 " Loggerheads," and close to the county boundary. 



■•H. atrorubens Druce (= Ejn^Mctis ovalis Bab.). This orchid 

 affects the most bai'ren limestone rocks [on Great Orme] , braving 

 the full scorch of the noonday sun, often where only Pyrus Aria 

 is found, Inchbald. In Faunula Grustenis there is a record of 

 somewhat doubtful identity at the present time, but which I 

 think refers to the present species: '' Eiyipactis rubra. In Nant 

 Bwlch-y-gwynt [near Llanrwst] , Mr. B. Boberts." Great Orme, 

 Hodge. Gloddaeth Eocks, Bussell. Several plants seen by Mr. 

 W. Hodge on limestone, within six miles of Wrexham, 1910. Near 

 Llysfaen. Appears to be a typical plant of the limestone cliffs. 



H. long if lia Hendle & Britten (= Einpactis imlustris Crantz.). 

 Used to occur sparingly in tlie alluvial ground between Llan-
