Sisymbrium Sophia. Near Duffin Mill, one mile from Conway to- 

 wards Llanrwst. 



Lepidium Smithii. I can corroborate Mr. Bennett as to the pre- 

 sent abundance of this plant in Caernarvonshire, but 1 am inclined to 

 think it a late immigrator. Plentiful on the embankment by the side 

 of the new road to Conway, equally so between Conway and Aber ; 

 between Barmouth, Merionethshire, and some farm-houses on the 

 hills ; also in Anglesea, near the Bangor Ferry, but Davies has no 

 mention of it in his ' Welsh Botanology,' published in 1813, nor have 

 I any previous note of the frequency with which it now presented 

 itself. 



Crambe maritima. Finely in fruit on the stony beach near Rhiw- 

 leden. 



Helianthemum canum. On the upper limestone rocks above Ty 

 Draw. This was in fruit in August, while H. vulgare was abundantly 

 in flower. 



Dianthus plumarius. Prettily adorning a part of the old walls of 

 Conway. 



deltoides. Interesting and numerous on the slopes of 



Craig Diganwy. 



Silene nutans. Not scattered about plentifully, but only in a few 

 favoured localities, as the Cotoneaster ledges, Little Orme's Head and 

 Craig Diganwy. 



Alsine {Arenaria) verna. Among the rocks about the Old Copper 

 Mine. 



Lavatera arborea. Several together on the waste bank of the Con- 

 way river below Diganwy, but planted probably, or got out of bounds. 



Hypericum maculatum. Not uncommon in Caenarvonshire. Very 

 fine and tall among bushes below Pont Aberglasslyn ; also numerous 

 near Llyn Gwynant, on the road between Beddgelert and Capel Curig. 

 A well developed species, the floral leaves and sepals only having 

 "pellucid dots." The petals abound with glandular matter running in 

 streaks and accumulating at the ends of them, and this scorched by the 

 sun's rays makes the dark streaks and black dots so conspicuous on the 

 petals. On the sepals there are scarcely any black dots. The capsule is 

 reticulate with glandular lines forming ribs upon it. Mr. Babington 

 gives H. dubium of Leers as different from this, but except in the entire 

 and broader sepals, there seems no character to distinguish it, and I 

 should consider it as merely a variety, if entitled to even that distinc- 

 tion. I gathered an Hypericum on the mountains behind Barmouth 

 smaller and more delicate in aspect than the general form of macula-
