AMARYLLIDACE^. 331 



patch on the other side of the road, a Uttle nearer the ferry, 

 1874. A small patch by an old grassy cartway near Trevollard, 

 1878. 



II. In an orchard and on a neighbourmg hedge-bank at Kingsmill. 

 D. III. Rather sparingly m an orchard at King's Tamerton. Quite 

 sparmgly, with the double-flowered form of N. poeticus, in an 

 orchard near Burrington House, Pennycross. Hundreds of 

 plants in floAver in an orchard below Blaxton farm-house, May, 

 1864 ; nearly eradicated, from the orchard having been con- 

 converted into arable land, 1871 ; still growing sparingly on an 

 adjoining hedge-bank. 



IV. [In an orchard and] on a hedge-bank at Goosewell, Egg Buck- 

 land ; Phi/t. V. N.S. 371 : orchard since converted into a field, 

 and the Narcissus mostly destroyed. Orchard at Beauhaye, 

 Egg Buckland, close to cottages. 

 V. A patch on a hedge-bank by an orchard near Knighton village, 

 1873. A small patch in an orchard close to Yealmpton village, 

 with Petasites frag vans, on a hedge-bank very near, 1876. 



VI. In a field on Pithill farm, Ivybridge, abundant, and to all appear- 

 ance wild ; Keys^ FL iii. 234 : occurs here in a pasture between 

 the farm-house and a wood, extending sparmgly mto the wood, 

 where it grows with Vinca minor, Avhich plant also appears 

 about the border of the pasture, I think the both derived 

 from ancient cultivation. 



N. major, L. The double variety of this, so common in gardens, is 

 sometimes seen m orchards close to houses. It occurs in two at Elburton. 



N. poeticus, L. Alien. The much-cultivated double variety grows in 

 two orchards at Bickleigh, m profusion in one. It is as abundant as I 

 have ever seen biflorus m any one locality. I have also seen it sparmgly 

 m an orchard at Burrmgton, occurring with N. hijiorus and Hellehorus 

 viridis. 



N. incomp)arabilis, Mill. Alien. Like the two preceding, an old 

 garden plant. Scattered about a small orchard, with a few plants on a 

 neighboui-mg hedge-bank, between Whitleigh and Budshead, 1875. Very 

 sparingly on a hedge-bank at Fursdon, Egg Buckland, near where a 

 cottage formerly stood. 



'■^ Leucojum cestivam, L." Flete ; Banker, 1849, Keys, FL iii. 235. 

 Error. The Flete plant, by a specimen labelled as Leucojum in Herb. 

 Gould., was really Allium triquetrum, doubtless an introduction. The 

 specimen was collected by Mr. Banker, on May 19th, 1849.
