The plants, therefore, of this second List may at any moment fall into their 

 places in the first List, and the whole of the 57 species may be treated practically 

 as jilants ascertained to be ubiquitous throughout our area. Judging from the 

 data thus at hand, it will probably be near the truth to say that about 70 of the 

 most common species — that is considerably more than ^ of the species ascertained 

 to grow in the county —are spread ubiquitously over the surface of the county. 



Herefordshire may claim to be the home and headquarters of several species 

 of interest, noticeably those which delight in the fertilising mixture of sand and 

 mud brought down by swift hill streams. The valleys of the Monnow and the 

 Teme are the headquarters of the local Barbula Brehissoni. On the stumps of 

 these two rivers the foliage of this plant spreads out by the yard, and its capsules 

 may be counted by the thousand. It is most remarkable that alongside of this 

 abundance on the smaller rivers, the plant should never have been detected on the 

 Wye, the character of which is essentially so similar. 



The Valley of the Wye again is the home and headquarters of Orthotrichum 

 Sprucci, and the whole of Herefordshire, especially the river valleys, is the 

 headquarters of another Barbula cylindrica, which grows most luxuriantly, and 

 fruits freely, throughout at hast a great part of the county. The Wye valley
