Flora of Devon and Cornivall, by I. W. N. Keys. 109 
[F. Oxycoccos (L.), said to grow in woods at Watermouth, near Ilfracombe, 
is not recognised as Devonian in Cyb. Brit. Its S. limit is there stated to 
be in Somei'set.] 
[Pyrola rotundifolia (L.), an inhabitant of damp bushy places and reedy 
marshes, located about Bideford in N.B.G., possesses slender claims to a 
place in the Flora of Devon. In Cyb. Brit. ii. 159 its occurrence there is 
considered uncertain, and in C.B.S. it is stigmatised with an " o."] 
[In Cyb. Brit. ii. 160, Mr. Watson distrusts the occurrence of Pyrola minor 
(L.) in Devon. It is, however, recorded in Rav. as found at Ivybridge by 
Eev. H. A. Box in 1858. Miss Lothmann, who for several years assiduously 
botanized in that neighbourhood, has not included it in her list.]

The Privet is so frequently planted for hedges, or for ornament in shrub- 
beries, that its natural limit in Britain can now scarcely be traced with cer- 
tainty " (Cyb. Brit. ii. 165). There can be no doubt, I think, of its true 
nativity in our district, especially on the cliffs.
