PIMPINELLA, L. 



325. P. Saxifraga, L. Common Burnet Saxifrage. 



Native ; on banks and in dry waste spots. Very common. Latter 

 part of May to October. Area general. 

 A plant of remarkably general distribution, though seldom or never in 

 profusion anywhere. It is to be seen on the dry limestone rubble-banks 

 and in the warm coast pastures, as well as on the open downs and in the 

 semi-moorland parishes. In the immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth 

 it is mostly on the limestone that it occurs. The leaves of this species 

 vary very greatly ; in some cases being scarcely more cut than those of 

 P. magna, whilst in others they are divided into very narrow segments. 



326. P. magna, L. Great Burnet Saxifrage. 



Native ; on damp hedge-banks, in moist pastures and orchards, 

 and by roadsides. Locally common. July to October,

 Johns below Wolsdon ; and in one spot beyond Antony Vicarage 

 House towards Tregantle. Five or six plants on a hedge-bank

 the locality had been often visited. Grounds at Pentillie.
