Ligusiicum was to be found. Dr. Hall favoured me with his company- 
on this occasion* and we searched the surrounding fields and hedge rows 
to no purpose. At length* in a field about half a mile further from Bod¬ 
min* on ground sloping into a valley facing to the west* and nearly at the 
bottom of the slope* we discovered a few plants amongst the furze. It 
therefore appears probable that it will soon be lost again* cattle being so 
fond of it as to eat it down wherever they can get at it. The few speci¬ 
mens we detected were so protected by thorns and briars as to be inac¬ 
cessible to cattle. (Mr. Stackhouse informs me that he has since observ¬ 
ed it plentifully at Hungerill* in the parish of Cardynham, near Bodmin* 
on the sloping side of a barren hill. “ I do not find*” (continues Mr. 
Stackhouse*) “ the radical leaves in threes* as represented in Ray’s Synop¬ 
sis* but rather twice ternate* as expressed in Sm. Ic. Piet. Fasc. ii. I 
think the circumstance of having leaves of two distinct shapes* is not that 
the one are radical and the other not* for both arise from the crown of the 
root. The spindle-shaped root is constant and very distinctive. In 
Smith’s figure* the left hand leaf in the plate admirably describes the 
difference of the radical leaf from the others* as it consists in the form 
of the lobes* and the smaller number of segments* not in a trifoliate leaf 
as in Ray’s figure. From the woody quality of the root I suspect it to 
be perennial.” With.

The serratures on the leafits in A. sylvestris are fine* regular* and the 
leafits otherwise entire ; but in this species the leafits are broader and 
with more of a truncated appearance of the base* the serratures much 
larger* very irregular* and some of them cleft into three segments. The 
Involucellums are sometimes much longer than the Umbellules.
