Flora of Devon and Cornwall, by I. W. N. Keys. 81 
S. asper (Uoffm. )—E.B.S. 2765, 2766.— D- and C- Frequent in 
cultivated ground and waste places. Soivthistle. 
S. arvensis (L.) — E.B. 674. — Fields and waste ground. — D- 
Frequent. I have seen very luxuriant specimens on the borders 
of the salt-water ditch at Laira, near Plymouth ; Bickleigh. War- 
berry hill, Torquay, &c. : Tor.Fl. — C- Near Cawsand. Corn- 
fields, common [Falmouth]: Polytech. 1856. 
S. palustris (L.)—E.B. 935.— Marshes, "very rare" {Bab. Man.) 
— J). Side of the Exe, near Powderham (Mr. Jacob) : Fl. Dev. 
Bridgetown marsh: Fl. Tot.— Q. Tall Marsh Soivthistle. 
It is marked with the doubtful "o" for Devon in G.B.S. Hence sus- 
picion falls on the Bridgetown habitat, however readily we may accept that 
of Mr. Jacob. It is not unlikely that S. arvensis may have been mistaken 
for this species. 
Mr. Bentham says {Brit. Fl.) that this plant is very rare in Britain, " the 
only certain localities being in the marshes of some of the eastern counties 
of England." 
Crepis Linn. Hawk's-beard. 
C. taraxacifoUa (Thuil.) - E.B S. 2929. — Limestone districts. 
— D. Near Plymouth : Briggs in Report of Lon. Bot. Exchange 
Club, 1867. 
C, virens (L.) — C. tectorum Sm. [not Linn.) E.B. 1111. — 
D. and C- Common. 
C. p)ciludosa (Moench). — Hieraciurn Sm., E.B. 1094. — Damp 
woods and shady places — D- Near Ufracombe : Rav. 
Branded with the suspicious " o " for Devon in G.B.S. Corroboration of 
its existence in the habitat named would therefore be acceptable. 
According to Mr, Bentham (Brit. Fl. 279) this species " extends all over 
Scotland, and Southward into the central counties of England, and into 
South Wales, and is not rare in Ireland." 
Hieraciurn Linn. Hawkweed. 
H. Pilosella (L.) — E.B. 1093. — Dry banks. - J) and C- 
Common. Mouse-ear Hawkivced.
