The morning of the 15th took us to Aberedw, with 

 its typically ericetal vegetation, the Edw gorge, and Wye 

 banks, and the great Aberedw rocks. The chief plants of the 

 day were Ranunculus fluitans Lam., in the river; Meconopsis 

 cambrica Vig., Hypericum perforatum L., H. pulchrum L., 

 Geranium molle L., G. dissectum L., G. lucidum L., Trifolium 

 arvense L., Vicia hirsuta Gray, V. Orobus D.C., Lathyrus mon- 

 tanus Bernh., Spircea Ulmaria L., var : denudata Boenn., Rosa 

 obtusifolia Desv., Saxijraga hypnoides L., Cotyledon Umbilicus- 

 Veneris L., Sedum purpureum Tausch., 5. anglicum Huds., 

 5. reflexum L., Circoea lutetiana L., Sanicula europaa L., 

 CEnanthe crocata L., Heracleum Sphondylium L., var* angusti- 

 folium Huds., Asperula odorata L., Petasites ovatus Hill, Hier- 

 acium lasiophyllum Koch, Lactuca muralis Gaertn., Jasione 

 montana L., Campanula latifolia L., Mentha gentilis L., 

 Galeopsis Tetrahit L., Alisma Plantago-aquatica L., Melica 

 nutans L., Poa nemoralis L., Bromus giganteus L., the three 

 common species of Asplenium, Athyrium Filixfcemina, &c. 



A fair number of these plants are of great rarity, and more 

 still are of special interest to Gloucestershire botanists, because 

 they are so rarely seen in that county. Mcenchia, Sedum 

 anglicum, Wahlenbergia, Ranunculus hederaceus, Potcntilla pal- 

 ustris, Dianthus deltoides, Sedum purpureum, Orobanche major, 

 Thalictrum minus, Hieracium vagense, H. lasiophyllum. Cam- 

 panula latifolia. Allium Schcenoprasum, Viola lutea, Drosera, 

 Pinguicula, Narthecium, Lobelia, and Meconopsis — to select 

 only a few — are all interesting in this respect. Indeed, it 

 seems that Campanula latifolia and Orobanche major are new 

 discoveries for Breconshire ; and Viola canina, Valeriana dioica, 

 Lobelia, Carex contigua and C. inflata for Radnorshire.
