Chrysocoma Linosyris, which is found abundantly on the 
rocks above the town. The specimens now exhibited were 
gathered late in August, when it was in perfection. This is 
one of the very few places in the kingdom where it is to be 
found. 
Scrophularia vernalis. This is one of the rarest of British 
plants, and is supposed by some to be a doubtful native. 
However this may be, it is quite naturalised in a lane near 
Gloddaeth, where it ornaments the hedge sides for half a 
mile ; it is also found in another lane nearer Conway. It is 
an exceedingly beautiful plant, with its pale green leaves 
and lemon coloured flowers, 1 found on this plant three 
species of Coleoptera of the genus Clonus. 
In the ditches on the plain grows Hottonia papudris 
in the greatest perfection, the leaves in many cases growing 
in dense tufts above the water, and the beautiful spikes of 
flowers in thousands. 
On the southern slopes of the Great Ormes Head, Scilla 
verna begins to show its bright blue flowers the first week 
in May, and in the middle of the month many places are 
completely covered with blue, and it may still be found in 
abundance in June on the northern and eastern sides of the 
hill ; it even occurs in profusion down on the grass above 
the sea, and in the open places in Gloddaeth woods, where 
it grows to the height of six or eight inches. 
The genus Statice is one about which botanists are not 
agreed as to the species, some authorities making many 
into species which others call only varieties. At Llan- 
dudno are found two very different forms of the species 
now called binervosa ; the smaller form grows in abund- 
ance on Conway beach, and the larger one on rocks behind 
the baths. Although so different in appearance, there is no 
good ground for considering them in any way distinct 
species.
