250 OROBANCHACEiE. 



D. III. One specimen on Crepis virens, just behind the pahngs of the 

 embankment of the leat, near Devonport Railway Station, 

 1869 ; Holmes, Keys, Fl. iii. 128. A single immature Oro- 

 hanche, probably this, in a hay-field above Weston Mills Lake, 

 June, 1875. 

 IV. Clover-field, Shaugh, October, 1865, and July, 1866 ; Mr. Stewart, 

 Keys, Fl. iii. 128. Rather plentiful in a clover and grass-field 

 at Fursdon, Egg Buckland, occurring with Cuscuta Trifolii, 

 July, 1866 : none to be seen the succeeding year ; in plenty in 

 an adjoining field, and again with Cuscuta, September, 1875. 

 Somewhat sparmgly among clover and grass in a field at Com- 

 mon Wood, where was also Trifolium hyhridum, July, 1872. 

 Perhaps in every case introduced with seeds of clovers and grasses, and 



so only entitled to rank as a Casual, not Colonist. 

 First record : Briggs, 1866. 



6. amethystea, Thuill. Bluish Broom-irqye. 

 Native ; parasitic on Daucus, &c., on clifts by the sea. Rare, and 

 very local. June, early part of July, 

 c. I. Dotted along the cliff's of the coast-line from, or very near, the 

 Seaton estuary to the east limit of the District at Tregantle ; 

 mostly on Daucus, but seen also on Plantago Coronopus. 

 II. Whitsand Bay ; Hore, in Phyt. ii. 239 : who says, " Collected by 

 the Eev. C. A . Johns, Mr. Thos. Eclmonstone, jun. , and my- 

 self." Seen in spots on the cliffs of the coast-line of the District 

 from Tregantle on to near the Rame Preventive Station. 

 Several plants on a bank above the coast at Kingsand, on the 

 western side of Plymouth Sound, June, 1865. 

 D. IV. Plymouth, on cliffs under the Hoe, near tlie easternmost part of 

 West Hoe Quarries, 1869, Dr. Clay ; a single specimen at Tin 

 Side, the extreme eastern part of the Hoe, 1850, Mr. Banker ; 

 Keys, Fl. iii. 129. I saw two or three plants close to the West 

 Hoe Quarries, about 1875. 

 In Phytologist, vol. ii. 943, Mr. Pascoe Says, " We are indebted to the 

 Rev. W. S. Hore for having brought this plant under the notice of British 

 botanists, although it was discovered many years before by the Rev. C. 

 A. Johns." ]\Ir. W. B. Waterfall, as well as myself, has seen it on 

 Plantago Coronopus. As it is principally on a biennial plant that it 

 occurs, it can hardly be more than annual in duration. Some seasons it 

 is to be seen in considerable quantity by the coast-line of Districts i. and 

 II., extending altogether for a distance of nine or ten miles. It has never 

 been met Avith on that of the Districts lying east of the Plym. 

 Fii'st record : Hore, 1845.
