Brixton. Near Yealmpton, at Yealm Bridge, &c. In the 

 valley of the Yealm, near Weston Mills. Hedge by the turnpike 

 road near Lee Mill Bridge. About Cornwood. 

 VI. Hedge by a small tributary of the Erme, near Flete. In one by 

 an orchard near Cling Mill. Strood, &c., Ermingd;on. Hedge 

 near Modbury, and at Brownstone. Near Ivybridge. 

 This looks as if indigenous in some of our warm, sheltered vales and 

 low-lying hedges, especially between St. Johns and Millbrook (District 

 II.), in the valley between Boxhill and Ham (in.), in the Yealm Valley 

 (v.), and near Flete (vi.). When planted in congenial soil it spreads

The Elm is one of the most frequent hedge-row bushes in certain 

 localities, whilst it is quite absent, as such, from many others. The variety 

 glabra conies into leaf later than the type. It sometimes forms a tree of
