* This plant is increasing in Cornwall at an alarming rate, and 

 becoming a troublesome weed. Ten or twelve years ago it 

 was one of the rarer species of the Newquay district; this 

 past summer I saw several hayfields near the railway station, 

 in which this was almost the dominant plant." C. C. Vigurs, 

 R.I.C., 19 JJ , p. 382. ' The advent and spreading of Crepis 

 taraxacifoiia has driven out to some extent the once ubiquitous 

 C. capillaris, just as Veronica Tournefortii has reduced the 

 numbers of V. agrestis." B.E.C., 1914, p. 33.
