both still grow. It was out of blossom, except in shady places. In 

 very shady and damp places the blossoms were quite white, and the 

 cymes and the leaves were much attenuated ; in which state it had so 

 much the appearance of S. album, that at first sight it might be mis- 

 taken for that species. 



Campanula Trachelium. Brendon Wood. 



Wahlenhergia hederacea. In springy places on the borders of the 

 East Lyn and West Lyn. 



Ruhus Id(BUS. Brendon Wood, plentiful. 



Orobus tuherosus. Brendon Wood. Different specimens, varying 

 in the form of the leaflets, from linear to spear-shaped and oval. 



Vaccinium Myriillus. Brendon Wood. 



Epilohium montanum. Road-side near the Waters-meet. Several 

 specimens with clear white blossoms. 



Hypericum humifusum. Frequent on stony banks along the road 

 from Lynmouth to the Waters-meet, and still more plentiful on the 

 sides of walls on the high ground between the Waters-meet and 

 Linton. 



Hypericum Androsaemum. On the border of the West Lyn, and 

 in the wood at Lee Abbey. 



Luzula sylvatica. Very fine in Countesbury Wood, three feet 

 high, or more. 



Taxus haccata. Lee Abbey, broad bushes flattened close against 

 the face of the sea- cliffs. 



Crithmum maritimum. Lee Abbey, on the rocks of the sea-coast. 



Serratula tinctoria. Lee Abbey, on the sea-cliffs.

No doubt other plants of more than common interest might be 

 found in this beautiful place, so varied as it is in soil, altitude, and 

 aspect. Melittis Melissophyllum, I know, grows here, though I did 

 not find it ; and there appeared to be three or four different species 

 of Hieracium, though I cannot be certain of more than H. sylvaticum, 

 the others not being in blossom. It is not improbable that Empe- 

 trum nigrum may be found somewhere on the neighbouring hills, as 

 I have lately received it from the Quantock Hills ; and I understand
