doubtless introduced ; Cuscuta Trifolii, Bab., in the same field, July 
14th, 1866. In the tract of country in Cornwall lying between the 
Tamar and the coast: two or three plants at the hess of a wall by the 
Dr. Syme, in n E g. Bo 
rally distributed, excep in the extreme north of Sco tland. 
Ononis spinosa, O. campestris, Koch. I have never seen the true 
plant either in Dani or Cornwall, and, judging from dried specimens, 
consider that, so Áo as the Plymouth district is concerned, - some- 
what spinous form of O. arvensis, D., has always been mistaken for it. 
Trifolium fragiferum L. Absent from the neighbourhood of Plymouth, 
alt pong it grows in the extreme south of Cornwall, as well as in North 
Dev 
Vicia lathyroides, L. Recorded by Jones in his ‘ Botanical Tour,’ p. 
n from ‘ near Ivybridge, on the banks of the Erme," which statement 
and Kingston repeat 1n their ‘Flora Devoniensis;' but as no one has 
since seen it in this locality, or anywhere else near Plymouth, it is likely 
Jones mistook something else for it, and the plant should be erased from 
our li ^ 
ngustifolium, L. Not found ve Plymouth. Mr. Keys’s 
ston, «Tothill Lane," produces Sison Amomum, L., and a year or two ago 
T saw a few plants of "Petroselinum. segetum, Koch, there; but it apa 
does not yield the Siwm, for which, moreover, the habitat would be un 
suitable. 
Enanthe fistulosa, L. Not in the district; but I have had fresh 
specimens sent me from Blapton, between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, 
South Devon. 
Anthriscus vulgaris, Pers. The remarkable rarity of this p about 
Plymouth has been arg noticed (Journ. Bot. Vol. V. .810). Last 
year it still grew at the old station near Tamerton Foliott, which may be 
more pre recisely described as between Horsham ivan nd the Blaxton 
Inlet. I question if it has any other local statio

Common Wood, Egg Buckland, August 1871. In 1863 I saw it

Carduus crispus, L. (aggregate). Remarkably local. Common in 
spots on the limestone between Plymout uth and Elburton, and on or about 
the Yealmpton and Yealm Bridge beds. In a pasture near Elburton, I, 
in July, 1868, found several plants of C. Newbouldi, Lond. Cat. ed. 6,
