of the village of Braunton ; a small patch of it also occurs about a 

 mile to the north of the last-named locality. 



Scirpus Savii, S. et M., &. monostachys, Hook. West bank of the 

 Torridge, within reach of the tide, about a mile above Appledore, at 

 the bottom of a little glen between two steep banks ; sea-coast near 

 Peppercombe ; also, in considerable abundance, about half a mile 

 from the coast by the road-side leading from Peppercombe to the vil- 

 lage of Horn's Cross. This solitary-spiked variety is by no means 

 unfrequent on the coast of the Bristol Channel. It grows near the 

 sea at Lynmouth ; and I have a specimen gathered by a friend, last 

 summer, at Swansea. 



Scirpus maritimus, L. Southcott Marsh ; also in a salt-marsh on 

 the west side of the Torridge, above Appledore. 



Agrostis alba, L., ^. stolonifera, L. Near the estuary, Northam 

 Burrows. 



Ammopliila arundinacea. Host. Braunton, Northam, and Instow 

 Bun-ows. 



Glyceria distans, Wahl. Salt-marsh near West-ClifF Cottage, 

 Northam. 



Festuca rubra, L. Banks of the Torridge, below Bideford. 



Triticum junceum, L. East bank of the Torridge, above Instow ; 

 west bank below Bideford Quay ; near the light-house, Braunton 

 Burrows. 



Asplenium marinum, L. Raised bank at Down End ; north side 

 of Braunton Burrows ; near Hartland, &c. 



The following list includes the rarer plants growing on the higher 

 ground within a short distance of the valley of the estuary, consisting 

 of parts of the parishes of Northam, Appledore, Bideford, Westleigh, 

 Instow, Braunton, &c. : — 



Clematis Vitalba, L. On the east side of the road from Torring- 

 ton to Bideford, near Wear GifFord. 



Ranunculus parvijlorus, L. In the first field on the left hand side 

 of the lane leading from the Bideford and Northam road to Orchard 



Hill. 



Aquilegia vulgaris, L. In a wood on the south side of the old 

 Bideford and Barnstaple road, about a mile from Bideford ; also in a 

 furze-brake on the hills to the south of Northam Burrows. Certainly 

 both these localities are distant from any house or garden.
