The instances, however, just cited of my own experiments on the 



Epilobiums and Geums, are free from all points of doubt as to their 



specific identity or distinctness, as no naturalist has, I believe, been 



yet met with, or will be found, who will contend that Epilobium mon- 



tanum and E, tetragonum are only varieties of one species, or that 



Geum rivale and G. urbanura are not, as species, perfectly distinct 



one from the other.

Notes of a Few Days' Visit to Lynmouth, Devonshire. 

 By Thomas Clark, Esq. 



During a few days' visit to Lynmouth, on the north coast of De- 

 vonshire, in the last week of July, I observed the following plants in 

 rambling about the neighbourhood. Should any other reader of the 

 ' Phytologist ' pay a similar visit, a knowledge of their localities may 

 add somewhat to the interest of the place, surrounded though he 

 would be with subalpine scenery of rare beauty ; steep, lofty hills, 

 purple with heath-blossom ; deep, wooded glens ; and streams of the 

 clearest water, rushing down among huge stones and rocks ; — scenery 

 unequalled, I believe, in the West of England, and rarely equalled

Euphorbia hiherna. Along the northern border of the East Lyn, 

 and in Brendon Wood, rather plentiful. 



Meconopsis Camhrica. On the borders of the East Lyn and West 

 Lyn ; occasionally on little rocky islets in the streams. 



Erodium maritimum. Southern border of the East Lyn, not 

 plentiful. 



Sedum rupestre. Borders of the East Lyn and West Lyn, not 

 unfrequent, but generally in small quantities ; also on rocky banks in 

 the neighbourhood, and on the sea-beach at Lee Abbey, almost close 

 to high-water mark. 



Sedum Telephium. Countesbury Wood, Brendon Wood, and in 

 the wood at Lee Abbey. 



Sedum anglicum. Plentiful everywhere. This stonecrop is plen- 

 tiful almost everywhere along the coast-line, from a little westward of 

 Stowey, in Somersetshire, on to Linton, and no doubt still further 

 west. Some years ago it grew, together with S. rupestre, on the sum- 

 mit of the Castle Rock in the Valley of Rocks, where most probably
