146 The Flora of Glamorgan. 



Taxus, Linn. 387. 



1 42 1, baccata, Linn. Common Yew. Ywen. Pren-yw. 

 Local. Frequent. Native. Sylvestral. 



The habitats are too numerous for quotation. Frequently 

 planted, but clearly a native, or at least indistinguishable from such, 

 near St. Andrews, Wenvoe, and Cwrt-yr-Ala. The seeds are eaten 

 by thrushes and blackbirds for the sake of the sweet arils. Seedlings 

 are often abundant. Ed. Fine examples of large old trees in the 

 Churchyards at Glyncorwg, Llanishen, and Ilston. T.H.T. 



Pinus, Linn. 388. 



1422. sylvestris, Linn. Scotch Fir. Pinwydden wyllt, Ffynidwydd. 



Status doubtful, but according to Mr. Riddelsdell, native on 

 the hills above Aberdare. " A log of P. sylvestris lay in bog of Llyn 

 Vach at W. end in 1885 ; it may have been brought there, as no 

 stump could be found." T.H.T. Ripe seeds are rather difficult to 

 secure in quantity, especially from isolated plants. .A large cone 

 may not yield one. Have never seen a wild seedling. Ed.
