tion. 
Mr. Watson recognises this species as Devonian in Cyb. Brit. ii. 273 ; but 
farther on (vol. iii. 485) he says " the occurrence of this species in the . . , 
Peninsula ... is not quite satisfactorily shown ; " adding that although 
*' according to Fl. Dev. it is frequent in the county of Devon, yet it is omitted 
from all my local lists for portions of that county, as Plymouth, Torquay, 
Chudleigh, Bideford, Barnstaple." No doubt the authors of Jf l.Dev. com- 
mitted a lapsus here. — Mr. Bentham says it is " not frequent in Britain, and 
perhaps limited to Scotland, the North of England and Ireland." 
M. arvensis (Lehm.) — E.B.S. 2629. M. intermedia Link. — "A 
large-flowered (fi. umhrosa) plant found in shade is often taken for 
M. sylvatica " (Bab. Man.) In this case may we not question the 
authenticity of the stations above-cited for the last-named species, 
and rather think that it is this large-flowered variety which has 
been found there ? — Cultivated land, thickets, and hedges. — D- 
Common. — C- Common. — It is found in every hedge in both 
counties, so that it is needless to cite stations. Field Scorpion- 
grass. 
M. collina (lloSm.)—E.B. 2558. M. hispida Koch. — Dry banks 
and old stone hedges. — J), Frequent, but not mentioned in 
Fl. Dev. Is met with in several places about Plymouth, e.g. near 
Lipson, Turnchapel, Staddon heights, and on old stone hedges 
near the sea. Teignmouth : Jord. Daddy-hole plain ; Meadfoot

really so, or is it confused with M. arvensis, which is not included 
in Mr. Couch's list ? Early Field Scorpion- grass.
