Hieracium c<Bsium. Among the rocks at Giltar Point. 



Antennaria dioica. On the turf near the old watch-tower, where 

 some broken rocks indicate the ancient boundary of the Tenby Back- 

 water. 



Inula crithmoides. Among broken rocks west of Giltar Point, just 

 opposite to Margaret's Island. Abundant at this one spot. 



Conyza squarrosa. Between Penally and Mauorbier. 



Matricaria maritima. On the rocks between Bosherton Meer 

 and St. Gowan's Chapel. I observed it nowhere else on this coast. 

 Even to superficial view, the wider-spreading flower of this plant has 

 a much more handsome appearance than that of M. inodora. Leaf- 

 lets broader and shorter, inflated at their edges, the petiole channelled 

 and polished. 



Ligustrum vulgare. Abundant on the rocks of the Pembroke coast; 

 though the authors of our Floras confine it to " hedges," whence a 

 doubter might suggest it as " probably introduced." 



Myosotis collina. Very small, but pretty, on St. Catherine's Isle, 

 and other parts of the coast-line. 



Veronica tnontana. Stackpool woods, near Pembroke. 



Calamintha Acinos. On Windmill Hill, Tenby. 



Statice hinervosa. On rocks west of Giltar Point, but in small 

 quantity. 



Euphorbia Portlandica. Near the Backwater, at Tenby ; and on 

 Caldy Island. 



Allium oleraceum. Among rocks on the descent to the sea, from 

 the Windmill Hill. 



Neottia spiralis. On the sandy shore of the Backwater. 



I only intend, in this paper, to note the vegetation that fell under 

 my own view at this particular time. Such notices, by competent 

 botanists, are, I think, advantageous ; because changes are always in 

 progress, more or less influencing the continuance, or causing the 

 banishment, of particular species of plants. The Backwater at 

 Tenby is now partially drained, and inclosed by stone-walls, to the 

 detriment of its pristine beauty ; and while I was there the northern 

 side of the Burrows themselves was invaded, and columns of smoke 

 daily trailing heavily over the ground, from heaps of smouldering 

 gorse and withering plants ; appearing, to a botanical eye, like the 

 destruction and desolation of a battle-field.
