16 THE FLORA OF WALES. 



mentioned) is Thoma^s Msbvtyn's Plantce Cantahrigiejises . . . . " to 

 which are added Lists of the more Eare Plants growing in many 

 parts of England and Wales" (London, 1763, 8vo, pp. 114). The 

 only Welsh counties for which such lists are, however, given are 

 those of Anglesey, Carnarvon, and Merioneth. 



Turner and Dillwyn's Botanist's Guide (2 vols., Lond., 1805, 

 Bvo, pp. 801) gives very complete lists for all the Welsh counties 

 which are interspersed among those of England according to their 

 alj)habetical order. A valuable feature of these lists is that the 

 authority for each entry is stated opposite it. A later work in 

 which the topographical arrangement is also followed is H. C. 

 Watson's New Botanist's Guide (2 vols., London, 1837). The lists 

 for the Welsh counties — generally contributed by local naturalists — 

 are grouped together at pp. 215-254 of vol. i., supplements being 

 also added at pp. 629-635 in vol. ii. 



Lists of the plants of each of the Welsh counties will also be 

 found in H. C. Watson's Topograi^liical Botany, 2nd ed. (1883). 

 Scattered notices of Welsh plants may also be found in the Journal 

 of Botany (from 1863 to the present time), and in the Reports of 

 the Botanical Exchange and Botanical Record Club. 



This is perhaps the most convenient place to mention a work by 

 Edward Young (of Wauncyrch, Neath) on The Ferns of Wales, 

 pubhshed at Neath in 1856 (4to, pp. v + 29). The author, in the 

 introduction to his work, which is illustrated by specimens of 

 thirty- four species, says : " It is generally considered that there are 

 forty species of ferns found in the British Isles ; of these, thirty- 

 four are met with in Wales." 



In addition to the Welsh botanists whom we have already named 

 there still remain to be mentioned a few who belong to the present 

 ceutui-y, of whom (though they have not all written on the subject) 

 we may give the following tentative list : — 



(1.) John Wynne Griffith (fl. 1783-1855), a lichenologist, of 

 Garn, near Denbigh, communicated lists to Bingley's I'our Bound 

 North Wales, and contributed to the 3rd ed. of Withering's Systematic 

 Arrangement of British Plants. 



(2.) Thomas Price, better known to Welshmen as Carnhuanawc 

 (1787-1848), took great interest in indigenous plants of Britain, 

 many of which he cultivated about his residence at Cwmdu, near 

 Crickhowell (see his Literary Remains, ed. by Jane Williams, ii., 

 pp. 280-1). 



(3.) James Motley, of Aberafon, Glamorganshire (and subse- 

 quently of Borneo, where he was murdered about 1855). He con- 

 tributed to the Phytologist, ii. (1847), and the Journal of Botany, 

 1847 ; also a list of Carmarthen plants supplied by him appears in 

 H. C. Watson's Topographical Botany (p. 551). He also wrote 

 •'Tales of the Cymry " (see Cadrawd's History of Llangyyiwyd, 

 54,;i70). 



(4.) Dr. J. W. G. Gutch (1809-1862), though born at Bristol, 

 may almost be claimed as a Welsh botanist, owing to his having 

 lived for a length of time at Swansea, and having compiled a list of 

 Swansea Plants (see Phytologist, vol. i. (1844), p. 101, &c.).
