Ever since the time of Ray this plant seems to have eluded the researches 
of Botanists ; only one specimen was known to exist; and some concluded 
that the species was extinct; but a few years ago Mr. Pennington disco¬ 
vered it in great plenty in a field near Bodmin, which had then been 
ploughed, after having lain fallow for ages. Being at Bodmin in June, 
1793, I applied to Mr. Gilbert, the proprietor of the land, who very 
obligingly sent a person to conduct me to the field in which Mr. Penning¬ 
ton had re-discovered the plant. This field is more than a mile north of 
Bodmin; the furze is again growing upon it, but not a single plant of
