PLANTS OF BRAUNTON BURROWS. [December', 



us that we must be getting back^ and we wandered slowly to- 

 wards our place of meeting by another route to that by which 

 we came, finding however little to add to our vasculum. A dyke 

 near the entrance gate, which we had overlooked previously, 

 aJOTorded magnificent plants of Lythrum Salicaria, also Scutel- 

 laria galericulata, Sparganium ramosutn, Alisma Plantago, Myo- 

 sotis palusiris, Melampyrum pratense, and plenty of very large 

 Pulicaria dysenterica. Our northern friend was delighted with 

 his treasures, but greatly puzzled by the alarming change in 

 nomenclature since " his day," he being of the good old school 

 of " Smith," etc. Indeed, I suppose there are few spots in the 

 country where so many of the less common plants may be col- 

 lected in a short time as on these celebrated Braunton Burrows. 

 Had we had time to get to Saunton End, we might have added 

 many more to our box, e.g. Matthiola sinuata, Atropa Bella- 

 donna, Anchusa sempervirens, Convolvulus Soldanella, cum mul- 

 tis aliis. The Anchusa, by the way, I had found near Woollo- 

 combe sands a few days before, and the Vicar of Ilfracombe has 

 found (Enothera biennis both there and at Braunton Burrows. It 

 is much to be wished that some competent local botanist would 

 work up a complete list of the Burrow plants, including the 

 dykes and Saunton rocks ; I expect the number would be asto- 

 nishing. As a beginning, I append a list of some of the rariores.
