VALERIAXACE^. 187 



One of the most frequent species in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Plymoutli, occurring in Furze Hill Lane, Cemetery Road, &c. 



367. V. carinata, Lois. Carinated Lambs' Lettuce. 



Native ; on dry banks and walls, and as a garden weed. Rather 



common. April, May, and sometimes later. 



c. I. St. Germans ; in plenty on a wall and by the roadside below, 1878. 



II. Forder, Rame ; Rev. A. Ley, 1876 ; specimens sent to Bot. Ex. 



Club. In abundance on a wall by Rame Churchyard, 1877. 



Between Rame and Penlee Point. Millbrook. Higher Tre- 



gantle. Hay Lane, near Torpoint. Saltash, by the lower 



Callington Road, Calstock. 



D. III. In field hedges at Pennycomequick, between that and Pennycross, 



at Boldventure, and about Weston jNIills and Honicknowle. 



Near Pounds. Torr Grove, as a garden weed with V. oUtoria. 



Tamerton Foliot, in many places. In fair quantity on a wall 



and hedge-bank, a quarter of a mile from Horrabridge, on the 



road to Tavistock, 1879. [Wall by Tavistock Road, opposite 



Mannamead, 1877 ; destroyed by building shortly afterwards.]

Fursdon, &c.. Egg Buckland. Gabber, Wembury. Between 



Billacombe and Elburton, and elsewhere near Plymstock. 



V. Wall close to Brixton village, and a plant or two between that 



and Chittleburn, May, 1878. 

 VI. In some quantity on a wall at Holbeton, by the road to the foot- 

 way across the Erme at Orcherton, June, 1878. 

 Though recorded as a Devonian plant, by the late Mr. A. Henfrey, so 

 long ago as 1849, from his having found it near Dawlish, it contmued to 

 be unnoticed or confused with V. otitoria in the Plymouth area until 

 1876, when the Rev. Augustin Ley detected it at Forder (District ii.), 

 and Mr. Ralfs in a lane close to Plymouth. The latter drew my attention 

 to it, and it will be seen that I have since found it spread over a great 

 extent of country. It is certainly as much a Native as V. olitoria., 

 occurring under precisely similar conditions. The two sometimes grow 

 together. (See Bot. Ex. Club. Rep. 1876, 20.) 



SdS. V. Auricula, i).6'. Sharp-fruited Lambs' Lettuce. 



Colonist ; m dry or sandy fields among corn and other crops, and 



rarely on banks. Rather common. June to Septemljer. 

 c. I. Wall-top between the lodge by Antony grounds and the village, 



June, 1871. Corn-field between Quethiock and Hanmiett 



Down, with V. dentata, July, 1869. Near Narkurs, with V. 



dentata.) August, 1874. In two oat-fields between Port Wrinkle 



and St. Germans Beacon, August, 1875.
