1017 



Point. Var. Groenlaudica on the rocks, Var. Danica, with purple 

 flovvers, on the town-walls. 



Lepidium ruder ale. I noticed a considerable quantity of this plant, 

 glowing dwarf upon a very hard liraestone-wall at Penally, near the 

 Backwater. 



Seneheira didyma. At the bases of walls about Pater. 

 Raphanus maritimiis. On the precipitous rocks at Lydstep, west 

 of Tenby. 



Saponaria officinalis. About Penally, on the Pembroke road. 



Cerastium tetrandrum. Most abundant on the rocks and walls. 

 Stem, pedicels, and sepals so densely hairy and viscid, that they 

 become loaded with particles of sand blown upon them ; thus looking 

 strangely disfigured. 



Lavatera arhorea. I inquired at Pembroke for the craigsman who 

 had formerly got this plant for me, from the Great Stack Rock ; but was 

 sorry to hear that, in collecting eggs, he had slipped from his high 

 position, litei'ally smashed to death ; and no successor had been found 

 to fill this dangerous post. The Lavatera did flourish profusely on 

 the isolated Elyange Stack; but the billows appeared to have so 

 degraded it, that 1 could not at this time see the plant anywhere 

 about. I was informed it grew abundantly on rocks called " The 

 Bishop and his Clerks," near Ramsay. 



Hypericum Androsamum. Near Penally, St. Petrax, and Stackpool. 



Erodium maritimum. On Caldy Island. 



Medicago maculata. Among the turf on the rocks above the Nor- 

 ton Sands. 



Vicia laihyroides. In a stony field east of Waterwinch. 



Trifolium scahrum. On Windmill Hill, Tenby. 



Prunus Avium. Not uncommon in hedges about Tenby and Pem- 

 broke, and St. Clare's, in Caermarth en shire. 



Ribes Grossularia. Numerous seedlings among thickets at Penally ; 

 whence derived, I know not. 



Petroselinum sativum. In crevices of the rocks of St. Catherine's 

 Isle, near the ruined chapel. This is a true naturalization, very dif- 

 ferent from a stray plant on a garden-wall. Doubtless it has been 

 here from Catholic times, when some anchorite " from youth to age " 

 performed his daily orisons, and cultivated the barren rock. The 

 plant must be well known here traditionally, for I observed a group of 

 joyous children bounding among the cliffs, to gather the parsley. 



Asperula Cynanchica. On the turf near Giltar Point, rather 

 sparingly.
