172 Flora of Devon and Cornwall, by I. W. N. Keys. 
of this species in Cornwall {Cyb. Brit, iii. 441). Narrow-leaved 
Water Parsnep. 
Bupleurum Linn, Hare's-ear. 
B. tenuissimum (L.). — E.B. 478.— Chiefly in pastures near the 
sea.— D. Torquay!: Hore (July 12, 1837). 
This species is not mentioned in either of the local Floras as occurring in 
Devon. The authority of the Kev. W. S. Hore is however sufficient, unless 
he has inadvertently given the wrong habitat to the specimen in P. I. Herb.

— D- Only in the neighbourhood of Torquay. The Flag-staff hill,

A. Neck): Fl. Dev. In turf on all the limestone hills around 
Torbay: Bartl. MS. notes loc. cit.

islands : Towns, in Journ. Bot. ii. 112. 
In Cijh. Brit. Devon was stated to be the South limit of this plant. As, 
however, it has been discovered in the Scilly islands, we shall no doubt have

(E. pimpinelldides (L.) — E.B.S. 2991 . — Moist meadows. " South-

trary to its habit, it grew here on a comparatively dry bank. I
