 turnpike road, at "Wacker Wood, with MeiUotus officinalis, 

 1873, and subsequently.

 plants by the Penters Cross and Landulph Road, near the

HERACLEUM, L. 



335. H. Sphondylium, L. Common Cow Pa)'snip. 



Native ; in waste spots on the borders of fields, under hedges, 



and m moist pastures. Very common. June to October. Area 



general. 



Grows very near Plymouth. The form with very narrow leaf segments 



occurs ; sometimes intermixed with the ordinary one. Rarely the petals 



are of a decided pink. This species is among the conunonest of the 



Order. I have heard the name " Billers " applied to some wild plant, and 



think it may belong to the Cow Parsnip, especially as Mr. Couch states 



that " Bilder " is one given to it in Cornwall. 



DAUCTJS, L. 



336. D. Carota, L. Wild Carrot. 



Native ; on banks and in dry and poor pastures. Very common. 

 Latter part of June to September. Area general. 

 Occurs very near the town, and abounds in poor pasture land. 



h. gummifer. 



Common on cliffs and banks by the coast.
