“Notes on some of the Rarer Plants found near Llan- 
dudno/’ by Joseph Sidebotham, Esq. 
North Wales is celebrated for its botanical treasures, and 
perhaps no portion of it more so than the Great Ormes Head 
and the country adjoining. In the early spring Gloddaeth 
Woods are one mass of flowers, some of them by no means 
common, and the rocks and slopes of the hills afford many 
of extreme rarity. The cowslip, a rare plant near Man- 
chester, is in abundance, and the hybrid oxlip is in many 
places where primroses and cowslips are found near toge- 
ther. Cowslips can be seen for more than a month, from 
the first of May, on the southern slopes and warm fields, till 
near the middle of June, on the northern slopes of the Little 
Ormes Head. 
I will now mention a few of the rarer species met with 
during last spring. 
Crucifer^.— dfafcomm maritima, a species not truly 
wild, is however met with often on the Great Ormes Head. 
I have found it in many places all along the cliff walks and 
near the shore on Conway Bay. It is usually very small, 
the whole plant with flower not being more than a couple 
of inches in height.
