7A BOTANY OF GREAT ORME’S HEAD. 
which was, I think, F. capreolata; but it was in a young state, 
and possibly might be F. agraria. 
From this shore I walked to some sand-hills on the isthmus, 
where I noticed Arenaria peploides and Eryngium maritimum. 
Rosa spinosissima and Cynoglossum officinale were there in full 
flower, though only just in bud upon the hills. 
The next day was beautiful; and after meeting Mr. Evan 
Hughes, who the day before had been unable to accompany me, 
we strolled together, by a more westerly track, to the pomt I 
had visited the day before. On our way I noticed Hypocheris 
maculata, but of course not in flower, and on the lowest range 
of rocks which form the eminence Mr. Hughes showed me se- 
veral young plants of Chrysocoma Linosyris. We scrambled up 
to my former position, where it appeared that Mr. Hughes had. 
never been before, and afterwards continued our walk to the 
north-eastern shore of the peninsula, to see Aspleniwm marinum, 
a plant, I think, not often found on limestone. I noticed, on the 
way, Hrodium maritimum. Brassica oleracea was m consider- 
able abundance, and is said to be found in still greater quantity 
on the Little Orme’s Head. A Statice, probably either S. Do- 
dartii or S. occidentalis, grows on the rocks, and the lower pre- 
cipices were purple with the Armeria maritima. 
In the evening I sauntered along the northern shore, and 
found some large bunches of Crambe maritima. It was at a 
considerable distance from any house, and I observed none of 
the plants in the gardens of the village, yet I would not venture 
to pronounce it wild. <A further walk towards the Little Orme’s 
Head might determine the question. 
The plants I have enumerated, the product of two not very 
long walks, will perhaps be sufficient to show that Llandudno is 
an interesting place to a botanist. There are several more points 
on the Great Orme’s Head which might probably furnish other 
rarities, and the different seasons of the year would produce dif- 
ferent flowers. Then the sand-hills are not without interest. 
The Little Orme’s Head, between two and three miles from 
Llandudno, would be well worth a visit, and the woods of Lord 
Mostyn. Besides their botanical interest, the two Orme’s Heads 
offer some fine bold rock scenery ; and the views over the Welsh 
mountains are highly beautiful, and contimually varying. You 
are within reach of Conway and its romantic castle, and to this
