to Dan-y.graig, and in hedges between Wych-tree bridge and Neath, and about 

 Penrice. 



^—- Soldanella. Sand hills; Mumbles Road and Cromlyn Burrows. 



Plantago major, media, lanceolata and Coronopus. 



'■^—^— maritima. Neath canal. On the rocks and sandy shores in Langlan, Caswell 

 and other Bays. Mylate friend the Rev.Hugh Davies, in his 'Welsh Botanology,' 

 p. 16, says that the Welsh call it "Bara can y defaid," and " Sampier y ddafed," 

 and that these names, and the almost miraculous properties which this plant 

 possesses for fattening cattle, have been erroneously attributed to Salicornia her- 

 bacea by Pennant, and to Crithmum maritimum by Withering, (Dillwyn). 



Armeria maritima. Mumbles light-house and coast. 



Statice spathulata. Gower. 



Ligustrum, vulgare. In hedges. 



Andromeda polifolia. On Cromlyn Bog, chiefly towards its northern extremity, until 

 the drainage took place. A quadrifid octandrous flower sometimes occurs on the 

 same plant with others that are decandrous, (Dillwyn). 



Calluna vulgaris, and var. alba. Kilvey Hill. 



Erica Tetralix, and var. alba. Town Hill and Pennard.

vagans. Mr. Thomas Milne, a botanist not likely to be deceived, told me that 



he had seen specimens which he knew had been gathered on a heath somewhere 

 near Pontardulais, but I have never been able to find it. I was also assured by 

 Dr. Turton, that a wild specimen of Erica mediterranea had been brought to 

 him, which was gathered in the same neighbourhood, (Dillwyn). 



Vinca major. Plentiful about Park Mill and some other places, but I have never found 

 it in any place to which it might not probably have strayed from sonie neigh- 

 bouring garden, (Dillwyn). 



Erythrtea Centaurium. Between Swansea and Port Tennant, and common round 

 Swansea. 



linariifoliaj ( littoralis, Hook.) On the down above the Mumbles light- 

 house. 



— ramosissima, ( pulchella, Hook.) In great abundance in a field near the 



lufii-mary, and at Salt-house Point. Abundant on Cromlyn Burrows, where I 

 have also found a plant which very well answered to Sowerby's figure of Chiro- 

 nia littoralis, and I much doubt whether either of them is more than a starved 

 plant, or variety of E. Centaurium, (Dillwyn). 



Chlora perfoliata. Road near Neath; frequent in Gower; between Drymma and 

 Gwemllwynwith, and some other places. 



Menyanthes trifoUata. In great abundance on Cromlyn Bog, Fainvood Moor, &c.
