CARYOPHYLLACEiE. 49 



VI. Sandbank, Mothecombe. Coast below Kingston, and very 



sparingly on a wall in that village. 

 A submaritime species. 

 First record : Jones, 1820. 



98. C. semidecandrum, L. Little Mouse-ear Chickweed. 



Native ; on coast-sands. Very rare. April, May. 

 c. I. Between Crafthole and Looe ; Jones, Tour, 16. 



II. On sand blown up from the coast below Tregantle Fort, with C. 

 tetrandrum, 1875. 

 D. VI. In abundance by the cove at Mothecombe, growing with C. 

 tetraiulrum. 

 I once found it as a ballast introduction with Fhleum arenarium in 

 District iv. Exclusively maritime in distribution. 

 First record : Jones, 1820. 



99. C. glomeratum, Thuil. Broad-leaved Mouse-ear ChicJciceed. 



Native ; on dry banks, wall-tops, in cultivated ground, and 

 sometimes in damp meadows. Very common. April to October. 

 Area general. 

 A universally diffused species found from the coast to Dartmoor, and 

 occurring close to the town of Plymouth, at Woodside, the Hoe, &c. 

 Besides appearing as a weed in arable land it grows plentifully in very 

 dry spots, such as the tops of walls and rocky banks, fully exposed to the 

 sun. Sometimes it is associated with C. triviale ; but the two seem truly 

 distinct from an absence of intermediate forms. C. (jlomeratum is some- 

 times biennial at least, notwithstanding that it is stated to be simply 

 annual in some leading Avorks. The form or state apetalum is common, 

 and occurs in all the districts. 



100. C. triviale, Link. Narrow-leaved Mouse-ear Chickweed. 



Native ; on rocky banks, commons, wall-tops, in damp meadows 



and moorland swamps. Very common. April to November. 



Area general. 



One of our most generally diffused species, occurring in all kinds of 



situations throughout the area ; in St. Andrew's Churchyard, the Hoe, 



on walls, &c. , in Plymouth ; on Ringmoor Do'^aii, Dartmoor ; in rich 



pasture land at Ford Park, Mutley ; in furzy ground between St. iMellion 



and St. Dommick ; swamp on Viverdon Down, &c. &c. 



STELLARIA, L. 



101. S. media, With. Common Chickiceed.

 ground. Very common. Flowers the greater part of the year. 

 Area general.
