98 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF NORTH CORNWALL. 
list will be found to be a much fuller representation of the total flora 
than anyone who looks through it with Watson’s Compendium or 
Keys’ Flora, without. understanding the actual character and pecu- 
liarities of the tract, will be likely to suppose. I paid a visit to the 
' district for three days i in the autumn of 1871, and made notes on the 
spot of all the interesting plants I saw, and I find that Dr. Hind has 
fallen upon them nearly all. Like him I found Bude to be much the 
it 
sandy beach bordered: by low sandhills. Although the cliffs along the 
coast are carboniferous, there are very few of “the characteristically 
limestone plants. In fact, as I have hinted already, all the three 
elements likely in this part of the world to bring in rare plants, the 
Southern tendency, the Montane-sylvan eae and the Xerophi- 
lous tendency, are either absent or negatived by circumstances, and 
it is these combined negations that constitute the interest of the dis- 
ta and make me giad to see such a good basis for its flora now 
Running through my notes, I find mention of a few additional 
species, and offer also a few ie Sips disk regard to some critical 
plants already mentioned in Dr. Hind 
Barbarea precox. Roadsides near ser and Yealm Bridge. 
n escape. 
olygala depressa. Heaths near the coast south of Bude. 
Lepidium Smith. Near Stratton and Yealm Bridge 
Sagina maritima. Shore at Bude. 
Erodium moschatum. Shore at Bude, apparently truly wild. 
Ulex Galli. In several places, in moory pieces of ground. This 
is no doubt what Dr. i ct nds by U. nanus, and is extremely 
common armen the provin 
us Cerasus. Plentiful in the lane between Yealm Bridge and 
Whitestone 
Rosa tom tosa. Lane near Whitestone, not sae fron the last. 
R. obtustfolie Hedge a Vittle north of Laun n. 
e frequent forms of fruticose Rubi. 0 e district are 
cordifolius, Radula, villicaulis, discolor, and corylifolius. I saw also 
18, pyramidalis, and Lindleianus near Launceston, eesius and althet- 
Jolius near the coast at Bude, umbrosus in hedges between White- 
stone and Red Post, and “ata and dumetorum with ascending sepals on 
a heath north of Yealm B 
Lepigonum. 1 sa iduipledi sparingly near the mouth of i 
stream at Bude, and RIE abundantly with Crithnum and Armer 
on the cliffs to the south, but not marinum, which Dr. Hind Pe 
Pastinaca sativa. Near the coast at Bude. 
Peplis Portula. Roadside near Whitestone. 
Carduus crispus. Roadside near Whitestone 
Hieracium umbellatum I saw by the rindelie near Yealm Bridge, 
and in other places. Probably Dr. Hind’s doubtful corymbosum is oie as 
tn pe plant is quite unlikely to occur, and perhaps also his do 
ster Tripolium. Plentiful by the stream at Bude. 
Anthems nobilis. Roadside near Yealm Bridge
