A HISTORY OF DEVONSHIRE 



passage on the sands at Exmouth (see Journ. Bot. 1884, p. 173) ; it has also been reported 

 from Branscombe {Fl. Sidostiensis, p. 38). 



The twig-rush {Cladium Mariscus) occurs in boggy ground at Hawkchurch Copse as 

 recorded in the Flora of Dorset ; Mr. Mansel-Pleydell verified this station, which contributes 

 a good record for this genus to the Devon flora as a consequence of the transfer in 1896 of 

 the parish of Hawkchurch from Dorset to Devon ; there is however a less satisfactory record 

 of this plant for Dartmoor. 



The loose-flowered or reflected meadow-grass {Glyceria distans) was recorded by Hudson 

 in 1778 as growing in sandy places near Exmouth ; it was also reported in 1829 by Jones 

 and Kingston on the authority of the Rev. Dr. John Jacob of Devonport as occurring near 

 Topsham. The sea lyme-grass was recorded hy Hudson in 1778 as inhabiting the sea- 

 coast near Exmouth ; it was also reported from the same station by Jones and Kingston 

 in 1829 on the authority of Miss Filmore, and by Ravenshaw in i860 on the authority 

 of Mr. Edward Parfitt, but according to a manuscript note in the British Museum herbarium 

 copy of Ravenshaw's List, Mr. Parfitt's specimens are Triticum [Agropyrum) junceum ; it has 

 been also reported from Paignton and Goodrington sands in the Torquay district ; Sir 

 Joseph Hooker in his Student^ Flora does not extend the distribution of the species to Devon, 

 and Mr. Moyle Rogers has closely searched the Exmouth station and Dawlish Warren for 

 this rare grass, and concludes that it is now absent from south Devon ; recent observations 

 however in other parts justify its retention in the county flora.
