Notes from North Wales, in August, 1852. 

 By Alfred Shipley and R. Reynolds, Esqs. 



Believing that the number of botanists more or less acquainted 

 with the Flora of North Wales is considerable, and that pleasing 

 reminiscences in connexion with it must occur to all such, we have 

 thought that the memoranda of a few days' tour last autumn may 

 prove of some slight interest. We make no pretensions to discovery, 

 simply hoping to convey to former explorers some news, of old friends, 

 as recently observed in situ. And here we must acknowledge our 

 obligations to the interesting papers upon the botany of the district, 

 published in the ' Phytologist' about three years since, by the Messrs. 

 Bennett and Mr. Lees (Phytol. iii. 709, 771, 869). The above papers 

 formed our botanical guides throughout the journey. 



Reaching Chester one day about the middle of August, Diplotaxis 

 tenuifolia from the city walls was our first captive. We proceeded 

 by rail to Colwyn, the station immediately before Conway, and then, 

 shouldering our knapsacks, struck oflf seawards, to the Little Ormeshead. 

 We noticed Chlora perfoliata in profusion in the cuttings of the rail- 

 way. At the back of the promontory, Rubia peregrina. Geranium 

 sanguineum, Silene maritima. Inula Conyza, Veronica spicata, with 

 its beautiful racemes of flowers, &c. On the sands leading to Llan- 

 dudno, Eryngium maritimura, Glaucium luteum, Hyoscyamus niger, 

 Senecio viscosus, Rosa spinosissima, Arenaria peploides, or rather 

 Honckenya, as the ' London Catalogue ' not very euphoniously names 

 the new genus. Llandudno grows as if it had something fungoid in 

 its nature ; but accommodation has not yet outrun the possible
