 Goidding, September, 1853 ; Herb. Bellamy. There are also 

 two specimens in Herh. Easton, one collected by ' C. Harper,' 

 but without any more precise statement of station than ' Ply- 

 mouth ; ' the other with ' Near Bickleigh Bridge ' only. They 

 were probably collected between 184.5 and 1850. 

 V. In two moorland pastures enclosed from Crownhill Down, in one 

 plentifully, in the other sparingly, June, 1871.

 above stations are bracketed, although it has not been seen very recently 

 at any of them.
