374 THE FLORA OF CORTTWALL. 



Prom the " Cornish Moneywort Club," a body of young and 

 enthusiastic lady botanists, whose head quarter is at TrevilHs, 

 Liskeard, I have received information concerning Ileum 

 Athamantioum, Jacq., and Peucedmium OstrutMum, Koch., at 

 LostwithieL 



In 1896 1 found on the cliff at Newquay a Scabious which 

 at the time I could not refer to either of the three British 

 species. This summer I have been able to settle its identity. 

 It proves to be Scaliosa maritima, Linn.; and, until my record in 

 the Journal of Botany for September last, it was regarded, as far 

 as the British flora is concerned, as being limited to the Channel 

 Islands. 



A few interesting items come under the extensive Natural 

 Order ComposUce. First we have Mr. Winn adding Filago 

 apiculata, G. E. Sm., which he has found in the parishes of 

 Perranzabuloe and St. Columb. Found in nineteen of the 112 

 vice-counties into which Grreat Britain has been divided for 

 botanical purposes, records of it are still awaited from Devon. 



Through the kindness of Messrs. Salmon, who here again 

 have verified a record of Mr. Grlasson's, I am able to include 

 Centaurea solstiUalis, Linn, in our flora. This plant was found 

 between Penzance and Grulval church. In this respect also 

 Cornwall is richer than Devon. 



Gwennap parish has given Mr. Winn Sieracium crocatum, 

 Fr., and Cornwall a plant which its neighbour has not within its 

 border. 



Continuing his investigations into the flora of Berranporth 

 district. Canon Rogers has been rewarded with Sonchus palustris, 

 Linn., a rare species long since recorded from the other side of 

 the Tamar. 



Cyclamen hedercefolium, Ait., beyond doubt an escape, is 

 struggling for a permanency in a wood in the parish of Gwennap, 

 where it was discovered by Mr. Howe. This is new to Cornwall 

 and unrecorded from Devon. 



Asperugo procumlens, Linn, has been gathered at Newquay 

 by Mr. Miiller and Miss B. Martyn, and at Penzance by Mr. 

 Tellam. Also an addition to Cornwall and of doubtful occurrence 

 in Devon.
