V. Wembuiy. Ne"svton Ferrers. Revelstoke. Battisboroiigb. Corn- 

 wood. 

 VI. Mothecombe. Kingston. Holbeton. Ivybridge. 

 First record : Jones, 1820. 



V. eriocarpa, Desv. Hairy-fruited Lambs' Lettuce. 



Colonist ; on and near a very dry hedge-bank above the coast. 

 Very rare. June to August. 

 c. II. Some dozens of plants on a hedge-bank, or wall of stone and 

 earth, by a barley-field at Rame, extending for two or three 

 yards, and growing principally in one or two large patches ; also 

 five plants among barley in the field below, and two in a weedy 

 spot between the corn and the hedge-bank, July, 1875. Tavo 

 or three hundred plants in flower on the hedge-bank, Avhere V. 

 olitoria, V. carinata, and V. dentata also occurred, June, 

 1877. At this date Mr. F. J. Hanbury and I discovered at 

 least sixty specimens on a dry hedge-bank by the field imme- 

 diately below. 

 I have inserted this plant here, but without a number, as it is among 

 the ' Excluded Species ' of the London Catalorjue of British Plants. It 

 seems to be at least established at Rame. Dr. Boswell has pronounced 

 it to be 'the ordinary form' of V. eriocarpa. {Eep. Bot. Ex. Club., 1875, 

 19.) 

 Fu'st record : Briggs, in Jour. Bot. iv. N.S. 297, 1875.
