ON THE FLORA OF THE UPPER TAMAR AND 
NEIGHBOURING DISTRICTS. 
By tHe Rev. W. Moyzie Roeers, F.L.§S. 
Tue districts treated of in this paper may be defined as 
follows :— 
The seaboard for between 20 and 30 miles from Morwinstow 
to Trebarwith Sands, with the road along the high ground from 
ilkkhampton to Launceston as eastern limit. Much of this, 
including cremate at one end and Launceston at the other, are 
left untouched by m 
Il. The valley aio of the Tamar, from its source near Wooley 
Barrows to Launceston, including both sides of the Launceston 
and Kilkhampton Road. Here be country chiefly examined is 
between Kilkhampton and Whitst 
. The tract north-east of Launceston and east of the Tamar 
and drained by its tributaries on that si 
: IV. The country drained by the Waldon oe: other south-western 
tributaries of the Torridge, to the left bank of the Okement. The 
railroad from congas to Okehampton is constructed along the 
watershed of the Tamar and ‘getare and thus forms a partial 
boundary between Districts ITT. a 
and II. are in East iveecits Il. te IV. in sap Devon. 
All the N. Devon records have been made e e four 
years 1882 to 1885; a large proportion of t eons ncding many

Tackbear and Newacott are the names of houses in B. Corn- 
wall; as Pasianoit ona Southlands, Tatson, Leworthy and 
Worthen are in N. Devon. Some of the other names given, as, 
e.g., Grimscott, Burrow is n and Tinney, are those of very 
small hamlets which will be found in any fairly good maps of 
Devon and Cornwall. In every case the Tamar is here regarded as 
ee ad houses a Hence the frequent occurrence of the name 
in t Il., as well as in District III, the river
