L. urens (L.) — E.B. 953. — J). Shute-common, between Axmin- 
ster and Honiton ! : Hore in Phytol. 1842, p. 160, and Rev. J. 
Jervis in Fl. Dev. One specimen gathered in 1852 on the Beacon, 
or "East-hill," near Sidmouth : ^^w;. ib. 1853, p. 1097. Seaton : 
Stew, in Rav. Acrid Lobelia. 
I am authorised to strike out the Woodbury habitat given in Ravenshaw's 
book : it is indeed questionable whether any of the others mentioned, except 
the heath near Axminster, are trustworthy ; and from that locality, in conse- 
quence of enclosures, the plant "is fast disappearing, if not quite gone. It 
was still to be seen in that station in 1851 {Cyh. Brit. iii. 466). Mr. Watson 
says of it, in Cijl. Brit. (vol. ii. p. 144), " peculiar" to a single locality in 
the county of Devon." Let us hope that we may not have to expunge it 
from our Flora. It is mentioned in M.H.D. (1865) as " growing " on Kilming- 
ton-hill [Axminster] , but whether any specimens had been collected at that 
date is not stated.
