Sedum anglicum. Plentiful on Craig Diganwy, indeed general on 

 the rocks of the Welsh Coast. 



rupestre. On Little Orme's Head, but not abundant. 



reflexum. A favourite adjunct to cottages in Wales, and at 



Aber whole roofs were mantled with it most singularly, but I have 

 never noticed it wild in such a luxuriant state. 



Cotyledon Umbilicus. On Craig Diganwy, but rather sparingly. 

 " Stone walls at Llandudno." 



Apium graveolens. On the coast near Gogarth Abbey. 



Crithmum maritimum. Great and Little Orme's Heads. 



Torilis nodosa. Side of the new road to Conway. 



Smymium Olusatrum. One of those " domestic plants," which, 

 whether first carried by man or not, mark where his feet have trod, 

 and pertinaciously linger there. At Gogarth Abbey, and most abun- 

 dant among the shattered ruins on the top of Craig Diganwy, said to 

 be an ancient palace of the Welsh princes, and where Hugh Lupus, 

 Earl of Chester, afterwards built a castle, at last taken and ruined, 

 and not again occupied after the building of Conway Castle bv Ed- 

 ward I. This fortress well deserves a visit from *he botanisfevno can 

 take it on foot on his route from Conway to Lie utludno. 



Rubia peregrina. Rioting in the hedges about Gogarth. 



Sambucus Ebulus. At Pont Dolgarrog, on the Llanrwst road. 



Inula Conyza. About Bryn Maelgwn and Gloddaeth. 



Achillea Millefolium. A pretty dwarf variety only two or three 

 inches high, the leaves, stem, and even the scales of the involucre co- 

 vered with long, woolly hairs, occurred on the singular trappoid hill 

 of Bryn Gosol, north of Diganwy. If varieties are to be noted, this 

 deserves equal mention with the variety Cambrica of Solidago Vir- 

 gaurea. 



Antennaria dioica. Plentiful on turf of the limestone ridges above 

 Tydraw farm, south of the Cotoneaster ledge. 



Senecio viscosus. Among stones on the beach between Llandudno 

 and the Little Orme's Head. I only observed it in one spot where 

 there were many plants truly characteristic from their viscidity, being 

 so encrusted with sand and black mould blown upon them by the 

 winds, that they seemed at first view like some strange African Me- 

 serabryanthemum, the florets spreading out and much more specious 

 than in S. sylvaticus. This is not mentioned by Davies in his ' Plants 

 of Anglesea.' 



Carduus tenuijlorus. Covering the embankment by the Conway 

 road, close to Llandudno, in the greatest profusion. It generally oc-
