THE FLOEA OF CORNWALL. 375 



At Par Mr. Tellam has happened upon Linaria Pelisseriana, 

 Mill., and at Bodmin he has found Mentha alopecuroides, Hull. 

 For these no record can he traced for Devon. 



Galeopsis versicolor, Lam. has crept over from Devon into the 

 parish of Northill, from whence it is reported hy Mr. Wise. 

 By no means uncommon in many parts of the country, its 

 distribution throughout the "Peninsular province," which 

 includes Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset, is very restricted 



Polygonum dumetorum, Linn., for which records are wanted 

 for Devon, has been found by Mr. Hume and myself at Looe, 

 Portseatho, Swanpool, Portreath, Lizard, Kennack Sands and 

 Porthleven. 



The Sea Buckthorn {Hippopliae rliamnoides, Linn.), found at 

 several places along the coast of Devon, is another discovery of 

 the past summer. At about the same time it was found near St. 

 Erth, by Dr. E. G. Gilbert, of Tunbridge Wells, and by myself 

 about three miles east of Ponsanooth. A third locality, near 

 Newquay, is mentioned by Mr. Miiller. 



The Purple Willow [Salix purpurea, Linn.) is, I daresay, one 

 of those widely diffused things which has been overlooked in 

 Cornwall through absence of specialization on the part of those 

 who have been investigating our flora. The returns for it for 

 Great Britain run to 76 out of the 112 vice-counties, and it would 

 be surprising if it were entirely absent from a county 

 comparatively rich in Willows. In Devon it is not unfrequent ; 

 at present it appears to be not known in Cornwall outside the 

 parish of Gwennap. 



St. David's plant (Allium Ampeloprasum, Linn.) now grows 

 in two parishes. Mr. Tellam sends particulars of its presence in 

 St. Kew, and 1 have had several plants under observation near 

 Portseatho. In both places it appears to be perfectly wild. It 

 has yet to be searched out in Devon. 



The finding of Hahenaria viridis, P. Br., by Mr. Wise, near 

 Otterham Station, places Cornwall for the first time in touch with 

 its neighbour. 



In grasses I am able to offer two additions. At Par Mr. 

 Tellam has made acquaintance with the Annual Beard Grass 

 Polypogon monspeliensis, Desf.,) ; and the Greater Nodding Grass
