(2) Follow up the footpath at the back of Old Widcombe 
Church leading on to the down: cross a style which presents 
itself about halfway up, and when over look immediately to the 
left, without advancing further, and at the roots of Hazel bushes 
look for Toothwort (Lathrea squamaria). (May). 
(3) Look for Polypodium calcareum in Box Quarries, and see 
what Ferns, or whether any, can still be found in the Quarries. 
(4) From Box Quarries the party might proceed to Bathford,, 
and look for Monotropa hypo-pytis (parasitical on the roots of Firs 
and Beeches) in a Beech plantation on the rocks above Bathford ; 
where also may be found (if still there) Cystopteris fragilis—a Fern. 
(July, August). 
(5) Monkton Farley—Look for Helleborus viridis (Green 
Hellebore) in waste places, old woodyards and out-of-the-way 
holes and corners. (Spring). 
(6) Tulipa Sylvestris (Wild Tulip). Look for it in a meadow 
near Combe Hay, where it was formerly in great plenty. 
(7) Look for Herminium Monorchis (musk orchis) on hill 
side, Weevern Mill, near Rudlowe, where it grew in plenty in 
July, 1853. 
(8) There are two plants—rare and local—which should 
be especially watched after and looked after (both flowering 
about Midsummer Day). Lysimachia thyrsiflora and Euphorbia 
epithymoides (Bab. FI. Bath. p. 44). 
The former (Lysim-thyrs) is very rare in the south of England, 
but grows in bogs adjoining or very near to the Horse and Jockey 
Pond near South Wraxall. Broome and I found it there in great 
abundance June 24, 1853. In the same bog may be found some 
other notable plants, especially Ranunculus lingua (Great Spearwort 
Crowfoot). 
(9) The Euphorbia (spoken of above) was not uncommon 
formerly in the lane (behind the R. C. Cemetery) leading to 
Combe Down, but I believe it to be extinct there now. But it 
still exists, and in some plenty, in the wood mentioned in
