178 CAPRIFOLlACEiE. 



Viscum album, L. Erroneously recorded. Several years since this 

 was stated to occur on an oak near Plymouth. {Phyt. i. N.S. 191, 9*2.) 

 I have, however, little douht something else was mistaken for Mistletoe 

 by Mr. Lees, especially as what he considered this was seen by him from 

 a railway carriage, on the topmost branches of a high oak. (See Trans. 

 Phjm. Inst. iv. 129.) The plant has been introduced at a few places in 

 the neio:hbourhood.

ADOXA, L. 



348. A. Moschatellina, L. Tuberous Moschatel. 



Native ; on damp or shady hedge-banks and in woods. Locally 

 common. Latter part of February or March, April, 

 c. IL Sparingly in one place by the lane to Moditonham from the 

 Carkeel and Botus Fleming Road, also by the du'ect road from 

 Carkeel to the latter village. 

 D. IIL Ford Lane ; Manadon Wood ! ; Banks, Fl. part 2. Hedge-banks 

 about Burleigh and Honicknowle. AYoodlands and Budshead.

 road between Kitley Lodge and Yealmpton village. Near

 and between that and Corabgate. 

 VI. Ivybridge ; Keys, ih. In plenty in the lane to Cling ]Mill from 

 the Kingston and Sequers Bridge Road. Flete. Ermington.

 It will be seen that this is extremely rare in the Cornwall portion of 

 the area. The fruit is very liable to be overlooked from its inconspicuous 

 colour and its behig often overshadowed by ranker vegetation when ripe 

 at the end of June. The fleshy drupe has a peculiar, acid taste. 

 First record : Banks, 1830.
