 Ascends to nearly 300 feet. It is remarkable there should be three 

 places named Tor or Torr, among the stations for this plant, each being 

 m a different District. From the fact that Tor is an old word for a hill, 

 many places have come to be so named about Plymouth. Here we find 

 the stations themselves bearing the witness in their names that a hilly 

 country suits the species under which they are mentioned. 

 First record : Joius and Kingston, 1829.

This is extremely common close to Plymouth. It was for a long time 



confused with V. agresti-s. The first record of it as a Plymouth species is 



that by the Rev. W. S. Hore, in Phytologist i. 161, 1841. It is more 



frequent than V. ag rest is, at least within some miles of Plymouth.
