ON SOME SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 



By the Eev. W. Moyle Kogers. 



The following notes are merely supplemental to some of a like 

 character written by me two years ajo, after twelve months' 

 residence at Trusham, near Clmdleigh, and printed in this Journal 

 for January, 1878. All the stations here named (with two or three 

 obvious exceptions) are between Exeter on the north east and 

 a line drawn from Berry Head to Moreton-Hampstead on the 

 south-west, the district chiefly explored being that lying between 

 Exeter and Bovey-Tracey. Except in the cases of Helianthemum 

 polifolium, Seditm albescens, and two or three other plants (where it 

 will be found expressly mentioned), I know of no previous record 



of tiny of the stations given. 



Ranunculus peltatm, Fries (aggregate). — Water meadows by 

 Biver Teign, near Newton Abbot, and in the Bovey Stream, on 

 Knighton Heath ; abundant. In Biver Otter, near Ottery St. Mary 



(the form R. p&eudo-fluitans, Syme). 



R. Baudotii, Godr. — Paignton, in ditch near railway station ; 



fairly abundant, 



R. Lenormandi, F. Schultz.— Trusham, near the village. On 



eastern slope of Peak Hill, Sidmouth. 



R. Flammula, L., b. pseudo -rep tans. — Banks of Biver Teign, 



above Dunsford Bridge ; frequent, 



R. auric omus, L.— Hennock, and (as recorded in ' Fl. Dev.'), 

 Chudleigh, at " the Bocks," and at one or two other stations. 

 Apparently quite a local plant in S. Devon. 



R. hirsutus, Curtis.— Brought to me, in September last, by 

 Mr. T. E. Archer Briggs from near Newton Abbot. 



Caltha palustris, b. Guerawjerii.—hi one place in the Teign 



Valley, Trusham. g • ' 



Nijmpluia alba, L.— Teign Valley, Trusham ; m a pool at the 

 bottom of Teign Lane, where it was planted, a good many years ago, 

 by the Bev. H. Roberts, and now flowers profusely every year. It 

 may be well to record here that the plants of Aponogeton, now also 

 flowering every year in another pond about a mile higher in 

 the Teign Valley (in Ashton parish), were in like manner placed 



there by Mr. Roberts. 



Papaver Rhaas, L., b. strigosum.— Trusham and Ashton. 



P. dubium, L., a. LamotteL— Trusham, as a casual weed m my 

 garden. Seaton is the only other station in S.E Devon where I 

 have seen this species. There (near the beach) it looked less like a 



no cm ol 



iuphanm maritime, Sm.— Berry Head ; a plant or two. In 

 Stewart's « Flora of Tor<iuay ' it is said to grow in " various places 



around the Bay." , 



DipUtaxis muralis, DC— Torquay, but only near some new 

 buildii s. In and about Paignton, and between Paignton and 

 Goodriii-ton Bauds as one of the commonest weeds, and so looking
