344 Flora of Devon and Cornwally by I. W. N. Keys. 
Not uncommon about Falmouth, in waste places and on cultivated 
land : Polytech. 1856. 
V. hederifolia (L.'j—E.B. 784. -Fields and banks. — D- and C- 
Common. Ivy-leaved Speedwell. 
Acanthus mollis, belonging to the order Acanthacea, has been 
introduced by unknown agency into the Isle of St. Agnes, Scilly 
{A.N.H. ser. 2. viii. 505), but has very slender claims to be in- 
cluded in the British Flora."— Man. (1867).] 
This plant is not now restricted to the Scilly islands. It appears to be 
spreading and likely to establish itself in the West of Cornwall. Mr. F. P. 
Balkwill observed it outside an orchard hedge at Eosenithon, St. Keverne, in 
1867 ; and I feel almost assured that it has been reported to me from other 
places on the mainland.
