30 The Flora of Glamorgan. 



This is the common dog-violet of the district and doubtless the 

 species which Mr. Storrie describes as common under the name of 

 V. canina. Penarth ! Lavernock ! Sully ! Dinas Powis ! Llanharan ! 

 Llanilid ! Llangan ! Garth Mountain ! St. Fagans ! Cwrt-yr-Ala ! 

 Michaelston-le-Pit ! Monknash ! Marcross ! Nash ! 



The very dwarf forms growing in exposed situations have very 

 small leaves, stunted growth, spurs often coloured more or less 

 purple and slightly grooved. They approximate in habit, though 

 not in flower, to V. ericetorum, No. 178. 



178. ericetorum, Schrader. = syn. V. flavicornis, Sm. 



Local. Abundant. Native. Littoral. 



Mr. Motley has observed that it (V. flavicornis) is common in 

 sand on the sea-coast. L.W. D.Mat. No records have been furnished 

 by our correspondents of this species, but the Editor has noted it at 

 Sully Island ! Swanbridge ! Porthcawl ! Kenfig, 1905 ! ! It is 

 seen in perfection beyond Porthcawl Rest. 



179. lactea, Sm. 



A doubtful record, needing confirmation. " Mayal's Green, 

 Gower, Glamorganshire." Phyt. 1854. Caroline Catheriue Lucas, 

 p. 216. Hensol ! ! June, 1907. 



180. stagnina, Kit. 



Three records, needing confirmation. Caerphilly Common. 

 J.S. Rhossili, Gower. S. Llanishen. H.E. 



The next two species — Nos. 181 and 182 — have been generally 

 treated as an aggregate by local botanists, and the name of the first 

 segregate — No. 181— used, when in reality most of the specimens 

 must have belonged to the second — No. 182. Mr. Storrie and some 

 others take in No. 183 as well. New records are necessary for each 

 of these species. 



181. tricolor, Linn. Pansy. Llys y Drindod. Dauwynebog. 



The only reliable record is that furnished by the Cardiff Museum, 

 where there is a specimen labelled Pwllypant, 1877. Storrie 

 Collection. 



182. arvensis, Murr. Field Pansy. Llys y Drindod. 

 Common. Abundant. Native. Agrestal. 



Frequent. St. Fagans, Ely, etc. J.S. and T.H.T. Penarth. V. 

 Barry. D. Common in Hirwain Area. W. Sully! G. Merthyr 

 District. F. Llantwit Major ! Pyle ! Aberthaw ! Rhoose ! 



183. Curtisii, Forster. 



Local. Abundant. Native. Littoral. 



T.B.. J. of B. Sitpp. 1905, on authority of J. of B. 1902, p. 316 

 Port Talbot sand-hills. M.A.D. Porthcawl sand-hills. P. Porth- 

 cawl. N. First identified by Editor on Kenfig Burrows, 1897. ^^ 

 was noted on the sand-hills sixty years ago by Dillwyn, who, however, 

 confused it with the next species. He says of No. 184, "Though 

 generally an inhabitant of mountains, I have found it growing on 

 Crymlyn Burrows." There are three distinct forms at least on the 

 Burrows of the County — yellow, blue, and particoloured respectively. 

 These would repay experimental cultivation
