Hypericum elodes, Nymphaea alba, Narthecium ossifragum, Radiola 

 Millegvana, Scutellaria minor, Wahlenbergia hederacea, Osmunda re- 

 galis, &c. In a marsh near Gulval are found Carex paniculata, 

 Cladium Mariscus, Drosera longifolia and rotundifolia, Lycopus 

 europseus, Menyanthes trifoliata, Sparganium simplex, &c. And be- 

 yond Gulval, in a hollow between the hills, is a bog, which contains 

 Schoenus nigricans, Rhynchospora alba, Pinguiculalusitanica, and oc- 

 casionally Bartsia viscosa, which we saw in a field adjacent; this latter 

 plant I also met with by the road side, between Tol Pedn Pen with 

 and the Land's End, also towards Marazion, but always in small quan- 

 tities. It is said to be frequent about St. Austle, as well as Cicendia 

 filiformis &c. Alisma ranunculoides grows near Marazion, also Isole- 

 pis Savii, which I noticed at St. Ives, &c. Osmunda regalis is very 

 fine and abundant in many of the marshy hedges and thickets, and 

 some of the plants above enumerated will be found on most of the 

 bogs in the neighbourhood. Briza minor is generally found near 

 marshy ground, though not on it, but in fields or road sides ; I gather- 

 ed it sparingly near Chyangall, and more plentifully beyond Gulval : 

 the first crop had disappeared, and these were late sown plants. In 

 the ponds at Treng Wainton, Chara translucens is abundant ; Typha 

 latifolia, &c., are also found here. The plants not included in the 

 two foregoing heads, may now be briefly mentioned. Anthemis nobilis is 

 most abundant on nearly all the open downs, scenting the air as you 

 ride or walk over it : Antirrhinum Orontium is occasionally met with ; 

 Aquilegia vulgaris near Hayle, Calamintha officinalis, Chenopodium 

 raurale, Fumaria capreolata, Helminlhia echioides, Hieracium umbel- 

 latum, Lepidium Smithii, Linaria Elatine, Linum an gusti folium, 

 Rumex pulcber and sanguineus, Q^nanthe crocata, Ornithopus per- 

 pusillus, &c., are common in the neighbourhood. Clematis Vitalba 

 grows near Alverton Bridge ; Erodium moschatura is abundant on 

 several dry banks near the town, especially in the path leading to the 

 baths; Mentha rotundifolia grows on the western green, and is not un- 

 common in moist situations. Rubia peregrina is rather rare; Stachys 

 ambigua is plentiful in Love Lane and some other places. The rare 

 Scrophularia Scorodonia I noticed in several places by the road side, as 

 beyond Newlyn, at Chyandower on the road to St. Ives, by the cross 

 on the Land's End road about two miles from Penzance, and also 

 near St. Ives in ascending the hill on the old road. The cross above 

 mentioned is a locality given in Watson's Botanist's Guide for Lotus 

 angustissimus ; that plant and L. hispidus were then confounded to- 

 gether, and it is the latter which was here intended, as it still grows
