320 | NOTES ON SOME PLANTS OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND. 
Chenopodium Bonus- Henricus, L.—Four plants in a waste spot 
close to Newton Ferrers House, an old mansion, formerly the seat of 
the Corytons (now of Pentillie), near Pillaton, Cornwall, August, 
1869. Within twelve miles of Plymouth I have met with it in only 
one other spot, near another Newton Ferrers, which is in Devon. 
There, too, it occurs close to an old mansion, Puslinch House. It is 
most clearly a denizen at both places, through its having been formerly 
cultivated as a potherb. 
abenaria bifolia, ** Br.;" Bab.—Many specimens on Ringmoor 
Down, near Sheepstor, Devon. June, 1869.  Pillaton Down, Corn- 
wall. 9 
Narcissus biflorus, Curt.—Some patches of this on top of a hedge- 
bank, bounding an orchard, at Kingsmill, near Landulph, Cornwall, 
and also in the orchard. April, 1869. Sparingly with the double- 
flowered variety of Narcissus poeticus, L., in an orchard near Bo- 
ringdon House, Weston Peverell in the spring of the same year. 
Some botanists seem to consider N. biflorus a native in the West of 
England, but at all the spots where I have hitherto seen it in Devon 
and Cornwall, it is elearly nothing more than a denizen. In an or- 
chard, at Bickleigh, the double-flowered W. poeticus is as abundant as 
I have ever seen N. biflorus in any one localit 
Botrychium Lunaria, Sw.— Rare, near Piymouth. It, however, oc- 
curred very plentifully in a grassy pasture, rather more than 800 feet 
above the sea-level, a few miles from Plympton, in June, 1869. The 
same locality produced Ophioglossum vulgatum, L., but not so abun- 
dantly as it did the Botrychium. 
The places mentioned above are in Devon, unless the contrary is 
stated.

Genus I. EPILOBIUM. 
With Dr. Hooker, I feel at a loss whether to regard some at least 
of the Otago Epilodia as species, or as mere forms of a comprehensive 
Protean type. It is only the non-possession of a sufficiently complete
