NOTES RESPECTING SOME PLYMOUTH PLANTS. 327 
this species are a hedgebank by the lane leading from Penter’s Cross 
to Landulph; a bank at Weard, near Saltash, where it appears with 
its ally, Erodium moschatum, Sm. 
Ulex Gallii, Planch.—The common * Dwarf Furze” of the neigh- 
bourhood of Plymouth is this, and it is questionable whether we have 
U. nanus or not. U. Gallii, Planch., grows plentifully on Roborough 
and Wigvor Downs, in waste open spots in the valley of the Plym, 
ete. In Cornwall it is in profusion on Viverdon Down, is common on 
the cliffs above Whitsand Bay, etc. 
Pyrus scandica, Bab.—Five or six bushes, one of which produced 
fruit this season, may be seen in an old hedgerow near a house by 
Wigvor Down; a single one in a hedge by the road leading from 
Tamerton Foliott to Maristowe ; and another, in a similar situation, 
between the former place and Roborough village. This last has been 
rendered very stunted by having had its young branches cut away 
whenever the hedgerow has been pared. P. aria, Xm., is never seen 
in hedgerows about Plymouth, and cannot be regarded as even a 
* denizen” here, which we must, I think, consider P. scandica to be, 
if not more than this. 
Epilobium lanceolatum, Seb.—To the Cornish stations already re- 
corded for this species may be added St. German’s and Liskeard. 
Physospermum Cornubiense, De Cand.—Since my notice respecting 
this plant appeared in the ‘Journal of Botany’ for July last, I have 
discovered that it grows plentifully in two hilly pastures within a mile 
higher up the valley than the station there given, and extends over a 
space of, I should say, at least two acres. Here it was in sufficient 
profusion two months ago to whiten part of the hillside with its 
fowers. The soilin which it grows is so shallow that here and there 
portions of rock protrude. Inereasing cultivation may soon eradicate 
it at my former station ; but the hilly ground and poor soil of this offer 
so little temptation to the agriculturist, that it is more likely to be 
spared here. 
Plantago media, L.—Very rare about Plymouth. Eight plants, in 
an apparently old pasture, at St. John's, near Torpoint, Cornwall, 
September, 1868. It has only one other local station, Cattedown, 
which place is in Devon. 
Neottia Nidus-avis, Rich.—Rare. Eight plants, in a wood, at Torr, 
near Yealmpton, June, 1868.
