308 AMENTIFERiE. 



V. Passage Wood, by tlie Yealm estuary. Hedge between Collaton 

 Cross and Bridgend ; both sessUiJiora and h. intermedia. 

 VI. Woods above Ivy bridge ; Notes to Carrington's Dartmoor, 1826 : 

 seen in that neighbourhood, 1874. On the left bank of the 

 Erme, near Mothecombe ; also a fomi with the sessile fruit of, 

 but shorter petiole than in, sessiliflora. Wood a little below 

 EfTord. 



Q. sessiliflora is connected witli pedunculata by the form intermedia, 

 in which the peduncles vary considerably in length, even on the same tree. 



The round smooth galls formed by Cynips linicoia on the Oak are 

 sometimes collected by poor persons to form into fancy baskets for ferns 

 or other plants. 



Q. Ilex, L. Alien. This, the Evergreen Oak, occurs on some bank?, 

 or in hedges, near old planted trees, in places where the acorns have fallen, 

 or to which they have been carried by mice or bu'ds. A bush seen be- 

 tween St. jMellion and Halton Quay ; one or two by the Toi-pomt and 

 Antony Road ; one, on which I have seen flowers, on a hedge-bank near 

 Trevol (District ii.) ; on banks by the Plymouth and Tavistock Road, 

 opposite Vinstone and at Manadon Hill, &c. 



Q. Cerris, L. Alien. This, the Turkey Oak, is much planted, and 

 occasionally springs up under similar circumstances to the last.

 their size and age.
