ON SOME SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 11 



past Preston to Torquay, last summer ; and a week or two later 

 found it (in small quantity only), at the Chudleigli Rocks. 



V. bitkynica, L— Near Dawlish. The type, without any of the 



variety avgustifolia intermixed. 



LatJnjrus tuberosus, L., b. tenuifolius. — Ashton and Hennock, 

 roadside-banks ; a few plants occasionally with the type, which is 



frequent. 



Potentilla argentca, L — Christow ; roadside, on rocky cutting ; 



a few plants at intervals, about a mile and a half south-east of the 



village, and nearly a mile from the nearest station in Trusham, 



where it is frequent in rocky ground. The only Devon stations yet 



TGCOrciGCi* 



EpUobkan tctragonum, L.— The segregate. Trusham and neigh- 

 bouring parishes ; rather frequent. Paignton. • ■ 



Bryonia dioica, L.— Teignmouth, on a garden wall in the out- 

 skirts ; I suppose only as a casual. Queried for S. Devon in 



' Topographical Botany.' 



Sedum rejle.vum, L., b. albescens.— Chudleigh Kocks ; and all 

 round Torbay in great quantity. The extraordinary abundance of 

 this stonecrop at Berry Head, and on all rocky places near Torquay, 

 is so remarkable that I do not see how its claim to be considered a 

 native plant can be reasonably questioned. It is of a pale glaucous 

 green much smaller than ordinary S. reflexum, and without renexed 

 leaves' The " 8. rupestre" of 'Flora Devoniensis' ("Rocks at 

 Babbicombe and Mary Church "), and the » 8. Forsteria.uun, Sm.," 

 of Ravenshaw's 'Supplement' (" Anstis Cove and Babbicombe, 

 Mr. Lees, in « Phyt.,' 1851 "), must, I suppose, be referred to this. 

 In Eavenshaw's 'Supplement' Babbicombe is credited with 6. 

 rupestre, S. glaucum, and S. Forsterianum < 



Silaus pratensis, Bess.— Trusham and Ashton ; rather frequent. 

 Apparently a very local plant in Devon, and not yet reported at all 



from Cornwall. . 



Galium Crueiata, With.— General in this part of the county, 



though local farther west. 



G. uliginosum, L.— Ashton, in one place. Haldon, at about 800 

 feet above sea-level, not far from the top. Lacks personal authority 

 for S Devon in ' Topographical Botany.' Mr. Bnggs (who does not 

 find this species near Plymouth), tells me that he saw a specimen 

 labelled " Haldon " among Borrer's plants at Kew. 



Valerianella carinata, Lois.— Near Torquay. 



V. dmtata, Koch., b. mixta.— Cliffs of Daddy Hole Plain Tor- 

 quay ; locally abundant. Very small and slightly-branched plants. 

 I could find no specimens of typical dentata intermixed. 



Arctium wajus, Schkuhr.— By the Teign, near Chudleigh Bridge. 



Seen in one place only. . 



Bid** cemua, L.— Brought to me, with the following from 

 near Teigngrace by Mr. Briggs. I have not seen it growing in Devon 



B. tripartita, L.— Teign Valley. Trusham- and Ashton Loca . 



Leontodon hispidu*, L.— Teign Valley, not far from Chudleigh 

 Bridge ; two or three plants. Near Sidmouth, and (as recorded m 

 • Fl. Dev.'), Exmouth. Very local.
