 Lugger's Cave, Rev. Dr. Jacob, Banks, Fl. part 5. Two

 D. IV. One plant by the side of the footpath between Longbridge and

 V. A single plant, Avith the type, in an oat-field by the path from 

 Newton Ferrers to Yealm Ferry ; petals ciliated, and looking 

 altogether, except in the colour of the flowers, like the others, 

 July, 1878. 

 VI. One in a stubble-field between Kingston and Ringmore, with the 



common plant, August, 1871. 

 Whether there be a blue-flowered species of pimpernel or not, I believe 

 the plants that I have found in this neighbourhood, with the exception 

 perhaps of the one in District iv., to have belonged only to a variety of 

 the common pimpernel. As the plant of District iv. grew very near 

 Marsh Mills, where I have met with several introduced species, the seed 

 was very probably brought with corn. To fall in with the species arrange- 

 ment of the London Catalogue, I have, however, thought it best to 

 attach a number to A. coerulea, especially as the records of Mr. Banks 

 and Dr. Jacob are given in addition to my own notes. 

 First record : Banks, 1830.
