OK SOME SOUTH-EAST DEVON PLANTS. 13 



Nephrodium Filix-mas, Eich. , b. affine.— Trusham lanes ; frequent. 

 Chara fragilis, Desv.— In old clay-pit at Preston, near King's- 



Teignton. 



The following have not been given in their natural order in the 



above list, because the stations named (the only ones in S.E. 



Devon where I have seen the plants in question) had been previously 



recorded in one or more of the following works : — ' Flora Devon- 



iensis,' Stewart's 'Flora of Torquay,' Eavenshaw's ' List ,' and 



' Supplement.' But in the case of species so rare or local in the 



county a confirmatory record here for the year 1879 may not 



be altogether without value, especially as there seems reason to 



fear that such stations are becoming sadly reduced in number by 



the " improvements " already effected, or now in progress, at places 



like Paignton and the (xoodrington Sands. 



Thalictrum minus, L. — Berry Head, on north side, among rocks, 



but apparently in no great quantity.

Fresh specimens of Unaria repfvs, Mill, (which I have not seen

 near a farm called Kennock."
