NOTES ON SOME DEVON PLANTS 141 



Lithospermuin officinale L. 4. A broad-leaved form was 

 observed at Saunton ; but it differs from var. i^seudo-latifolium 

 C. E. Salmon in the shape and clothing of the foliage. 



Euj)Jimsia ncmorosa H. Mart. 3. Near Cofton. — -''E. occi- 

 dentalis Wettst. 4. Locally frequent on the edge of Braunton 

 Burrows, close to Saunton. — E. curta Wettst., var. glabrescens 

 Wettst. 4. Plentiful on Braunton Burrows ; sometimes unusu- 

 ally floriferous. 



Bartsia viscosa L. 3. Abundant in marshy ground, west of 

 Cofton ; often much larger than I had seen it elsewhere — up to 

 40 inches high. The numerous small red-brown seeds look like 

 cayenne pepper. 



Salicornia dolichostachya Moss. 3. Frequent on sandy mud- 

 flats, Dawlish Warren ; it was first observed there in 1911 by Mr. 

 T. Lea and the Eev. C. F. Benthall, Vicar of Cofton, to whicli 

 parish the Warren belongs. "4. Near the Taw estuary, at " The 

 Strand," Ashford, W. P. Hierii, sp. I also saw it in a sandy salt- 

 marsh near Braunton Burrows, where it appeared to cross rather 

 freely with S. herhacea L., forma 'patula Moss (S. patula Duval- 

 Jouve). — S. ramosissiina Woods. "3. Frequent and variable about 

 Cofton and Dawlish Warren ; slender states grow freely on the 

 drier flats, at a considerable distance from the sea. Dr. Moss tells 

 me that a peculiar plant (No. 4215), which I suspected might be 

 new, is so named by Dr. E. J. Salisbury ; with the proviso that 

 some of the specimens may be hybrids of that and S. gracillima 

 (not observed there, but perhaps overlooked). "4. Near the Taw 

 estuary, close to Braunton Burrows. — ■•~S. gracillima Moss. 4. By 

 the Taw estuary, Ashford, W. P. Hiern, sp. Agrees very well 

 with my original gathering from Pagham, W. Sussex ; new for 

 the county. — S. Smithiana Moss {S.prostrata Pallas, var. smithiana 

 Moss & Salisbury). 3. Local on sandy mud-flats, Dawlish 

 Warren. 4. Salt-marshes near the Taw estuary, adjoining 

 Braunton Burrows. — S. disarticulata Moss (type). "3. Dawlish 

 Warren, over a very restricted area. '-'A. By the Taw estuary, 

 Ashford, TF. P. Hiern, sp. 



Polygonum maritimum L. 3. Still grows near Dawlish, whence 

 Mr. W. F. Miller recorded it in 1885 ; last year it was very scarce 

 and small. Eemarkably fine at Teignmouth, E. W. Hunnybun, sp. 



Euphorbia exigua L. 4. Probaljly a true native on Braunton 

 Burrows; remote from cultivation, associated with Erythrcea 

 pulchclla and Anagallis arvensis. 



CAEEX BASILAEIS Jordan. 

 By H. Stuart Thompson, F.L.S. 



In his note on "Spanish and Portuguese Carices " (Journ. 

 Bot. 1907, p. 211) Mr. Druce recorded this little-known sedge 

 from the range of Tibidabo, north of Barcelona, and said that 

 ' ' Kiikenthal puts it as a variety of the Portuguese 0. depressa
