 It occupies a few square feet on an old ballast or rubble heap overgrown 

 with brambles and herbaceous plants. I flrst noticed it in June, 1860, 

 but the specimen in Herb. Plymouth Institution proves that it was 

 known to the Rev, W. S. Hore many years before. Mr. Keys remarks : 

 " It would seem to appear at intervals," which may be the case ; for after 

 1860 I did not see it again at the station until 1871. There is a specimen 

 in Herb. Easton labelled ' Catdown Quarries,' collected probably at least 

 thirty years ago. I inserted some remarks on its occurrence at this sta- 

 tion in Jour. Bot. i. K.S. 260. Recent alterations may have now 

 (1880) destroyed it there. 



205. L. pratensis, L. Meadoio Vetchling. 



Native ; on hedge-banks, and in waste bushy or grassy places. 

 Very common. June, July, and occasionally later. Area general. 

 In hedges just around Plymouth, as well as in those in the vicinity of 

 Dartmoor. 



206. L. sylvestris, L. Narrow-leaved Everlasting. 



Native ; on cliffs on, or near, the coast. Rare and local. June 



to September, 

 c. 1. In two bushy spots on a cliff' by the coast a little west of Seaton 



Sands, in moderate quantity, 1876. Previously noticed between 



that and Looe ; possibly a little beyond the western limit of 



the area.

Major Briggs, in 1871.
