Trifolium minus. In waste places near the sea' I met 
with a very pretty variety, with all the leaves crimson; it 
was not uncommon. 
Medicccgo maculata is not uncommon about Gloddaeth, 
and grows very large near the ruins of Gogarth Abbey. 
Cotoneaster vulgaris I met with in two new localities, 
one of them on the flat top of one of the hills on the Great 
Orme, growing in the fissures of the rock, the other, to which 
I was conducted by a little boy, is on the precipitous rocks 
above some cottages. The name given to this plant by the 
W elsh children is “ the little apple of the rock,” a very 
pretty and characteristic name, the fruit being just like a 
minature apple. I have now seen this plant in seven dis- 
tinct localities, in all of them tolerably abundant. 
Pyrus Aria is found here and there on the precipitous 
rocks on the Great Orme. 
Lonicera Xylosteum. Not uncommon in hedges and 
thickets about Llanrwst ; no doubt introduced, but still 
deserving notice as being here as truly wild as in any part 
of Great Britain. 
Potentilla verna. I am indebted to Mr. Spencer Bickham 
for pointing out this uncommon species. He found it on 
the slopes overlooking Llandudno on the Great Ormes 
Head, rather sparingly, and I afterwards found it abun- 
dantly on the tops of the rocks, very near to the locality of 
Ghrysocoma. 
Rubia 'peregrina ; wild madder. This is abundant on 
the rocks of the Great Ormes Head, and is found remarkably 
fine near Gloddaeth. 
Centranthus ruber. This is but a naturalised species, 
although in our lists of British plants ; it is very abundant 
on the walls and ruins about Conway, and sparingly on the 
rocks of the Great Ormes Head ; it is largely grown in the
