72 GERANIACE/E. 



near Plymouth ; N. Bot. Guide, i, 16. Close to the town on 

 the north and east, and thence m the former direction tc> 

 Hartley, again appearing near Tinstone, and at Shalaford and 

 Beaiihaye, Egg Buckland. East of the town it is plentiful in 

 many spots about the Plym estuary, and on the limestone beds, 

 extending beyond them at Elburton. About Plympton ; by 

 the turnpike road near the Church of St. Mary, on a hedge- 

 bank in Colebrook village, at Chaddlewood, and between 

 Plympton jMaurice and Brixton. 

 V. By the tumpike road between Elburton and Brixton ; also in 

 plenty between Winstone and the tidal inlet at Kitley. By the 

 lane to East Sherford from the Brixton and Plympton Road. 

 A plant or two at Langdon, 1873. In considerable quantity 

 on a wall by the creek at Bridgend, 1875. 

 Growing in the warmest and driest spots, but ascending to 300 feet by 

 the Plymouth and Tavistock Road, near Tinstone. Absent from the 

 granitic and semi-moorland portions of the area. 



By the middle or end of July young plants sometimes appear, sprung 

 from the seed of the year, and they by the succeeding winter become so 

 large as to form a leafy rosette some inches across. This Geranium has 

 not, I believe, any recorded Cornish stations west of those belonging 

 to Districts i. and ii. It was added to the county list in Jour. Bot. 

 ill. 349. 



First record : Turner and Diilwyn, 1805. 



149. G. dissectum, L. Jagged-Leaved Crane's BUI. 



Native ; on dry banks, in waste spots*, and in pastures. Tery 

 common. Part of April to September. Area general. 



Occurs in the innnediate neighbourhood of the town, and over all the 

 enclosed country. A white-flowered variety is rare : I found a few plants 

 of it on a wall-top near Radford (District iv.),.in June, 1869 ; and several, 

 intermixed with others, by the Plymouth and Saltash Road near the cross 

 lane to St. Budeaux (District iii.), in 1866, and some still there in 1871 ; 

 the persistence of this slight variety at the latter spot proving that it 

 comes true from seed. 



After G. molle, this species or Rohertianum is the commonest of the 

 genus. 



150. G. columbinum, L. Long-stalked Crane's Bill. 



Native ; on dry banks, and in waste spots. Common. May to 

 September, 

 c. I. Between Burraton Lane and Latchbrook, and near Trevollard, 

 St. Stephens. Seaton Talley. Tideford, Cutcrew, &c., St. 

 Germans. Landrake. POiaton.
