There are forms at Cowbridge, Barry, Llanharry, and elsewhere, 

 which scarcely come under either 340 or 341. They are intermediate 

 in type, having very short runners which grow obliquely upwards, 

 so that the plants have neither the mat-like appearance of true 

 repens, nor do they grow isolated like typical spinosa. These two 

 species need further study ; it is questionable whether the varieties 

 founded upon the development of thorns breed true. 



341. spinosa, Linn. Upright Rest-harrow. Hwp yr ychen.

 This plant is extremely abundant in many localities. On acres of 

 heavy clay land on the Lias it is a very troublesome weed. Cross
