118 Flora of Devon and Cornwall, by I. W. N. Keys. 
Specimens from Manadon and Devil's-point are in the herbarium of the 
Plymouth Institution. 
M. maculata (Sibth.) — E.B. 16J6. — Gravelly pastures; common 
in both counties. Scilly islands, "occasionally:" Towns, in Journ. 
Bot. ii. 1 09. Spotted Medick. 
A specimen from Manadon, and another collected by Dr. Jacob (locality 
not named) are in P. I. Herb. 
M. minima (Lam.)— E.B. S. 2635. — Sandy fields, rare.— D- Tor- 
quay : Stew, in Rav. Little Bur-Medick. 
This species is recorded without question in Rav., and on this authority it 
is inserted in the present list. When, however, the cautious and pains-taking 
author of Cyh. Brit, gives Kent as the south limit of the species, and is not 
satisfied that it is "certainly known" in the south-western provinces of 
Somerset and Glamorgan, where it is reported to grow, we may, I think, ask 
if there be not some mistake as to its presence in Devon. 
M. denticulata (Willd.)— E'.jB./S. 2634. — On sandy ground near 
the sea. — D. Hoe !, Plymouth, abundant. — C- Beach, Kiln-quay, 
Mylor (H. S. Herb.): Miss W. St. Anthony, " very rare:" Fohj- 
f^c/i. 1856. Maker: Briggs. Reticulated Medick. 
It may be worthy of note that this species, although growing so freely on 
the slopes of the Hoe at Plymouth, and occurring elsewhere in the neighbour- 
hood, is considered rare. 
Melilotus Linn. Melilot. 
M. officinalis (Willd.)—£'.i?.] 340.— Bushy places, way-sides, and 
rubble heaps. — D. Saltram embankment and Catdown quarries !, 
Plymouth. Chudleigh ; Exminster ; Dawlish ; Totnes : Fl. Dev.

] 09. Common Melilot.
