UNRECORDED STATIONS OF SOME UNCOMMON PLANTS. 289 
valley between Helston and the Lizard, Cornwall. Dartmouth. About 
Plymouth this is very common ; and at Bircham, Allowpit, near Stoney- 
bridge, at Pennycross, near King's Tamerton, and at Pomphleet— 
places all within a few miles of that town, a variety with naked pe- 
duncles occurs. 
Rosa rubiginosa, L.—Very rare about Plymouth. At Cornwood, 
and in a wood near Riverford, Plym Valley. 
Rosa collina, J M: —MNear Launceston, and about Truro and Perran, 
Cornwall. 
Pyrus Scandica, Bab.—In hedgerows near Roborough, about six 
miles from Plymouth, where one or two bushes flowered last spring. 
Mr. Syme has pronounced it to be Scandica. 
Epilobium angustifolium, L.—By the South Devon Railway, close to 
a wood near Chaddlewood, away from houses, and the plant the wild 
form macrocarpum, Steph.; but it could not have grown here before 
the line of railway was formed, about twenty years ago, as the habitat 
is below a * cutting.” I have not seen it elsewhere near Plymouth. 
Polycarpon tetraphyllum, L.—Abundant in a dry waste spot under 
a wall at King's Tamerton, Devon, May, 1866. 
T'illea muscosa, L.—I recorded this some years ago from Colwell 
Quarry, on the right bank of the Plym, and have since found that it 
grows very abundantly in dry waste spots about Cann Slate Quarry, 
on the opposite side of that river, as well as less plentifully by a foot- 
path between that place and Plym Bridge, and very sparingly in one 
or two dry open spots in the wood above the quarry. 
Pimpinella magna, L.—The profusion of this species in many places 
near Plymouth seems worthy of notice. Orchards and moist hedge- 
banks in Egg Buckland Parish, and elsewhere within five miles of 
Plymouth, north and east, are so sg of it that literally cartloads 
might be collected in July and A 
Myrrhis odorata, p £e dide oe by the Dart near Buckland- 
in-the-Moor, June 7, 1 
Sambucus Ebulus, i TC rare near Plymouth. In a waste spot 
near a cottage at Cann, where it may not be truly wild. 
Fedia auricula, De Cand.—Not uncommon in arable land in many 
places near piter but less general than F. dentata. 
Antennaria dioica, Gert.—On Roborough Down, to the right of 
the road kel: from the Plymouth and Tavistock road to Buckland
