D. III. In a damp field near the Manor House Inn, Walkhampton ; 

 shown to me by JNIr. WilHam Bensley in 1862. In a low pasture 

 near Blaxton Cross. Very sparingly on a bank in the Tavy 

 valley, between Lophill and Denham l^ridge, 1868. 

 IV. Near Cadover Bridge ; Jacob, Fl. part xv. 

 VI. Pasture near Pithill, Ivybridge. 



Dr. Jacob in his Flora most erroneously calls this species annual. It 

 will bear the smoke in a town garden, and is a pretty plant for cultivation. 

 Fii'st record : Jacob, 1836.
