GERANIACE^. 



GERANIUM, L. 



143. G. phaeum, L. Dmhy Crane's Bill. 



Alien ; establislied in one spot. Very rare. ]\Iay, June. 

 D. V. Plentifully established on a steep bank above a hollow lane close 

 to Grace Aller farm-house, near the hamlet of Venton, between 

 Lee JMill Bridge and Cornwood. It is associated with Ruhus 

 Idceics, jEgo2)odium Podagraria, and a Hemerocallis. 

 First record : Briggs, 1S66 ; m Jour. Bot. iv., 288. 



144. G. pratense, L. Blue Meadow Crane's Bill. 



Alien ; only as ' an escape ' from gardens, or where originally 



planted. Very rare. June, July, or later. 

 D. IV. Thicket, Manadon Hill, most probably introduced ; Keys^ S. D. 



Lit. Chron. 300, and Fl. ii. QQ. Widey ! , near Knackers- 



knowle ; idem, in Phyt. iii. 1023. One and the same station, 



where it still grows sparingly. 

 VI. A few plants in a waste spot, close to the entrance to the garden 



in front of Mothecombe House, growing with a patch or two of 



Ornithogalum iimhellatum, 1874. 

 At Widey, by jManadon Hill, this occurs sparingly by a plantation of 

 shrubs and forest trees, and is no more indigenous there than are the 

 Laurels, Ilex Oaks, and other shrubs growing near it. Several herba- 

 ceous species Avere introduced into the grounds by a former possessor of 

 the property. At the station in District vi. it has clearly come from the 

 garden. 



145. G. pyrenaicum, L. Mountain Crane's Bill. 



Denizen; on banks and in waste spots. Very rare. May to 

 September. 



c. II. Well established and plentiful on and about some hedge-banks 

 near an old farm-house at Combe, near Saltash. 



D. III. [A single plant, as a 'casual,' in a field of clover and grass at 

 IManadon, July, 1S75.] 

 V. Roadside between the third and fourth mile from Plymouth, on 

 the Yealmpton Road I , on slate ; pointed out to me last sum- 

 mer ; Keys, Phyt. iii. 1023. Near Yealmpton, plentiful, but, I 

 suspect, not wild ; idem. Fl. ii. Qd. The two records doubtless 

 refer to one station. It still occurs in plenty on rocky banks, 

 but is very local, and is associated with Petroselinum satimim, 

 with which it has doubtless spread from some garden in the
