The Flora of Cornwall was published in 1909. Additions thereto, by Mr. F. H. Davey and Dr. C. C. Vigurs respectively, issued in the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, 191 1 and 1913, are incorporated in the present Supplement. Analysis of the additions to the Flora since 1909 yields the following results : — A. — Species recorded in the Flora as doubtful or an error, and now included 9 B. — British species (native or casual) not recorded in the Flora 23 C. — British varieties and forms 142 D.— British hybrids 17 E. — Recorded in the Flora as extinct (Diotis maritima, Cass) 1 F. — Aliens (species and varieties) 110 The species recorded in the Flora as doubtful or an error, and now included, are : — /saris tinctoria, Linn; Silene cornea, Linn; Arenaria tenuifolia, Linn; Medicago minima, Desr; Senecio squalidus. Linn; Chenopodium glaucum, Linn; Euphorbia Esula, Linn; Malaxis paludosa, Sw; and Nitella gracilis, Agardh. The British species not recorded in the Flora are : — Thalictrum dunense, Dum; Fumaria major, Badarro (paradoxa, Pugsley); Fumaria neglecta, Pugsley; Viola epipsila, Led; Dianthus deltoides, Linn; Rubus Scheutzii, Lindeb; Purus inter- media, Ehrh; Hieracium Peleterianum, Merat; Hieracium silvaticum, W. & N.; Verbascum pulcerulentum, Vill; Veronica triphyllos, Linn; Euphrasia Kerneri, Wettst; Euphrasia stricta. VI. INTRODUCTION. Host; Euphrasia con/usa, Pugsley; Ajuga pyramidalis, Linn; Salicornia appressa, Dum; Sagittaria sagittifolia, Linn; Agrostis verticillata, Vill; Mibora minima, Desv; Poa palustris, Linn; Atropis festuciformis, Richt; Isoetes hystrix., Durieu; and Chara delicatula, Groves and Bullock- Webster. The publication of Mrs. Gregory's British Violets in 1912 stimulated the collection thereof, with the result that one species, two hybrids, and fifteen varieties or forms, have been added to the County Flora. The Davey Herbarium of Cornish and other British plants was acquired, after his death, by the Royal Institution of Corn- wall. It is available for examination at the Truro Museum, where also the Tellam Herbarium is preserved. The Herbarium of Dr. Ralfs came a few years ago into the possession of Mr. H. H. Goddard, who found the papers being used for wrapping up groceries. The Thurston Herbarium of Cornish plants, still in the making, has been presented to Kew. Private Cornish Herbaria are maintained by Mr. and Mrs. Perrycoste, Polperro; Mr. F. Rilstone, Polperro; Dr. C. C. Vigurs, Newquay; and Mr. W. Wise, Launceston. Mr. Wise has also presented a collection of Cornish and Devon plants to the Museum of the Launceston Historical and Scientific Society. Criticism that the present Supplement is burthened with records of well-known plants is perhaps disarmed by the explan- ation that Davey's policy of recording localities for plants other than those which are common and generally distributed throughout the County has been continued. The Supplement is an expansion of a local Flora, and intended as a guide for amateurs resident in or on a visit to the County, who like to know what plants, in addition to rarities, they may expect to find in any part of it which they are exploring. It has been well said by Mr. J. G. Baker, formerly Keeper of the Kew Herbarium, that ** botanists coming into Cornwall from the eastern or central parts of England find much to interest them in seeing how abundant some of the specially western species we-, and how many plants, which they take for granted are likely to bet common, are found to be rare or even altogether absent." We would impress on amateurs the importance of not merely recording, but preserving, for expert examination, voucher specimens of plants as to the identity of which there may be any doubt, or which are likely to be challenged. In the absence of such specimens, it has been found necessary to INTRODUCTION. vii. exclude several plants, which might have proved to be of con- siderable interest. Since 1909 death has removed from the ranks of those who were interested in the Cornish Flora, or who gave generous help to those engaged in the study thereof, Mr. J. G. Baker, Dr. H. Charlton Bastian, Mr. C. Bucknall, Mr. F. H. Davey, Mr. H. Groves, Mr. A. O. Hume, Mr. E. D. Marquand, the Rev. E. S. Marshall, Mr. Clement Reid, and the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers. We have to express our great indebtedness especially to the Journal of Botany, and the Reports of the Botanical Society and Exchange Club of the British Isles, and Watson Botanical Exchange Club, which have been liberally indented on. For permission to reproduce the portrait of Davey we are indebted to the Watson Botanical Exchange Club. Many amateur collectors have to express their gratitude for much generous assistance to the Staffs of the Kew Herbarium and British Museum (Natural History), Mr. A. Bennett, Dr. G. C. Druce, Mrs. Gregory, Mr. J. Groves, Professor A. Henry, Mr. A. B. Jackson, the Rev. E. F. Linton, Dr. C. E. Moss, Mr. H. W. Pugsley, the Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell, Mr. C. E. Salmon, and Dr. F. W. Stansfield. To Mr. George Penrose, Curator of the Cornwall County Museum, Truro, we are indebted for his kindly help in seeing the Supplement through the Press. The opportunity has been taken to correct some of the errors, which found their way into the Flora. Many records therein from Bridgerule should be withdrawn, as the locality is in Devon. Divisions one to eight correspond with the eight divisions into which the County was divided for the purpose of the Flora. Aliens, of which only a few isolated plants have been found, are, as in the Flora, printed in italics. The status — native, alien, etc. — of plants recorded in the Flora is not repeated in the present Supplement. An asterisk indicates that the plant is not recorded in the Flora. In a very interesting article in Science Progress, Vol. XV., No. 57, 1920, entitled " Cornish Phenology, 1912-19," Mr. Frank H. Perrycoste and Miss H. M. M. Perrycoste illustrate, by means of data collected in connection with the Wild Flower Society, the phenology of the part of Cornwall round Polperro durincr eight consecutive years. * There is,'* they write, "no viii. INTRODUCTION. need to emphasise the importance of systematised phenological records as indices to what one may perhaps call resultant climate, or to point out that the nett effect of temperature, rainfall, latitude, elevation, exposure, etc., is summed up in, e.g., the dates of flowering of plants without any ambiguity or possibility of error." Botanists visiting the Scilly Islands will find much that will interest them in an article on Tresco Abbey Gardens by Dr. A. W. Hill, F.R.S., published in the Kew Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, No. 5, 1920. The suggestion is made therein that it would appear possible to set up a Flax (Phormium) industry in co-operation with Cornwall, and to keep a Cornish Flax Mill working throughout the year. In his Presidential Address to the South-eastern Union of Scientific Societies, 1918, on the Dispersal of Fruits and Seeds by Ocean Currents and Tides, Sir Daniel Morris noted that a seed of the Horse-eye, Mucuna urens, which is a native of the West Indies, had been picked up in Cornwall. A note by Mr. F. Rilstone, dealing with the new Cornish Mosses and Hepatics from the eastern half of vice-county 1 (West Cornwall), was issued in the Journal of the Royal Institu- tion of Cornwall, 1917-18, pp. 310-13. A further article by Mr. Rilstone, entitled " Cornish Mosses and Hepatics," was pub- lished in the Journal of Botany, 1919, pp. 3-10. A note by Miss G. Lister, published in the Journal of Botany, 1920, pp. 127-9, deals with the information relating to Mycetozoa from Cornwall, which was brought together by the late Dr. Alfred Adams, who collected mainly at Looe and the surrounding country, and others. Quite apart from the mere systematic recording of localities in which the Cornish flowering plants, ferns, mosses, liverworts, lichens, and fungi occur, an enormous amount of interesting work still remains to be carried out in the demain of cecology, i.e., the branch of biology dealing with the relations of living plants in their surroundings, their habits, modes of life, etc.. in which, it has been said, the botanical morphologist, physiologist, and systematist, happily meet. FREDERICK HAMILTON DAVEY. Frederick Hamilton Davey, the son of Stephen Henry Davey, was born at Ponsanooth, in the Kennal Vale, in the parish of Perran-ar-worthal, West Cornwall, on September 10th, 1868. He was educated at the village school, and, as his parents had a large family and a very limited income, he had to leave school at the early age of eleven, and went to work at the Kennal Powder Mills. It was then that his education really commenced, for, as far as circumstances would permit, he read wisely and widely. Then, first under the inspiration of his father, to whose memory he dedicated the Flora, and afterwards of Canon Saltern Rogers, vicar of the neighbouring parish of Gwennap, who conducted a class for boys, he devoted himself to Nature Study, and soon became fond of wandering in the lanes and fields in his spare time by day, and reading such Nature books as he could get hold of in the evenings. Although a somewhat delicate lad, things seemed to be going well with him until he was seventeen, when he had his first attack of rheumatic fever, which left a permanent defect in his heart. This, however, did not check him, for, during his long convalescence, he continued his studies, and kept a Formi- cary, from which he learnt much about Ants and their habits. He had another attack of rheumatic fever at the age of 23, and soon afterwards developed a chronic appendicitis. Still, nothing seemed to discourage him. From reading he advanced to writing, and, in 1891, he contributed his first paper to the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, on the Rushes, Sedges and Grasses of the Kennal Vale and neighbourhood, illustrated by a series of well-selected and mounted specimens. This was followed, between 1892 and 1898, by papers on the Birds nesting in the same locality, Microscopic Studies, the Flora of Kennal Vale, and Artificial Formicaries. For these five papers he received a bronze and four silver medals. X. MEMOIR OF DAVEY. During the winter session, 1900-1, he studied Chemistry and Assaying at the Redruth School of Mines. He never worked in or on any mine. About this time he settled down to the study of Botany to the almost complete exclusion of other nature subjects, and seriously began the formation of his excellent Herbarium of Cornish and other British plants, now in the Museum of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. About this time, too, his health improved, and he was able to take longer botanical excursions outside his immediate neighbourhood. In 1899 he first met Mr. A. O. Hume, C.B., an enthusiastic plant collector, and there can be little doubt that this proved the turning point in his career, and the start of his life's work, namely, the Flora. It was at the Autumn Meeting of the Royal Institution of Cornwall in 1899 that he announced his intention of preparing a Flora of Cornwall, and asked for the assistance of other field botanists. This was followed by a letter in the local newspapers in March, 1900, again asking for help. This was the commence- ment of my acquaintance with him, and it was not long before we became very close friends. It was a vast work that he had undertaken, and one full of difficulties. He was a young botanist, at that time quite unknown outside Cornwall, and he was not in robust health or flourishing circumstances. He had little spare time; no good herbarium or reference library near at hand to consult; and there was no existing Flora of the County, which he could use as a foundation for his own. However, he threw himself undaunted into the work. He soon collected around him a band of willing helpers, willing because he infected us with some of his own enthusiasm and treated us with unfailing kindness, and because we felt that his was a master mind. His first contribution, in 1895, to the Royal Institution of Cornwall, to which his more important botanical papers were communicated, was an article on a Local Study in Plant Dis- tribution. This was followed in 1896 by a note on Bulbils and Gemmae; in 1897 by notes on the Acclimatisation of Exotics in the Falmouth-Truro district; the Bulbil Mite; Functions of Colour and Smell in Fungi; and the Dry Summer of 1896; and, in 1898, an article dealing with some Natural History Records. In 1899 he communicated the first of a series of papers on Cornish Botanical Records, the last of which was a combined report for the years 1909-1910. His final contribution to the Institution was a record of the Phytogeographical Excursion to Cornwall in MEMOIR OF DAVEY. xi. August, 1911. In 1905 the Institution awarded him, for his treatises on the Botany of Cornwall, published in its Journal, its triennial Henwood Gold Medal, which was then for the first time given for botanical research. Davey's Tentative List of Flowering Plants, Ferns, etc., of Cornwall was published privately, and not for sale, in 1902. It was printed on one side of the paper only, and sent to all those who were doing field work in the County, and they were asked to enter their records on the blank pages. It was the first time a Prodromus to a County Flora had been issued, and very useful it proved to be. It brought together most of the previously scattered records; it informed workers what had been done; and showed plainly what was wanted. It also showed workers that their earlier records had been duly noted, and so encouraged them to further research. The copies supplied to them were recalled in the autumn, 1905, and then Davey settled down to the production of the Flora. This was printed and published by F. Chegwidden, of Penryn, in 1909. It is a fine demy 8vo. volume of over 600 pages, and has a good map of the County divided into eight botanical districts, and portraits of six deceased Cornish botanists. In writing the Flora, Davey took infinite pains to eliminate erroneous and doubtful records. He knew that some doubtful records by living amateur collectors remained, but the difficult position in which a refusal of them would have placed him was fully appreciated. Knowing Davey as well as I did, any appreciative remarks of mine on the Flora might be considered biassed, so I will content myself with a few quotations from independent botanists. In the Report of the Botanical Exchange Club of the British Isles, 1909, Mr. G. C. Druce writes : — "Mr. Davey is to be con- gratulated on the completion of an excellent work"; and, in 1915: * * The Flora was a well-written and trustworthy description of a very interesting area." In the Journal of Botany, January, 1916, in an obituary notice, the Editor writes of Davey as ** the author of one of the best of our more recent local Floras"; and of the Flora he says : — " The review published in the Journal (1909, 388) gives an appreciative if somewhat critical notice; it may be doubted whether any Flora owes more to steady personal investigation, hindered though this was by ill- health and business avocations." Davey's own copy of the Flora is interleaved, and contains many notes made by him, which are published in the present Supplement. During his last illness he handed it over to me. In addition to his earlier papers to the Royal Cornwall XH. MEMOIR OF DAVEY. Polytechnic Society, Davey contributed, in 1908, on behalf of that Society, a paper on the work of Carl Von Linne to the New York Academy of Science in connection with its bicentenary celebrations of the birth of that great naturalist. In the same year he contributed to the Polytechnic an account of a botanical excursion, which he piloted around Swanpool, Falmouth. In 1909 he read papers on W. P. Cocks, a Cornish Naturalist, and on Neville Northey Burnard, a Cornish Sculptor. In 1911 he communicated a paper on three Cornishmen, whose portraits are hung in the Gallery of the Society, of whom only one, Davies Gilbert, P.R.S., was interested in plant life. In the same year he contributed his last paper to the Society, on Charles William Peach, A.L.S. He was for some years Honorary Librarian to the Society, and Editor of the Annual Reports, to which he compiled the General Index from 1898 to 1907. He was elected a Vice-President in 1908, and an Honorary Member in 1912. He acted as a Judge in Natural History at the Society's Exhibi- tions in 1909 and 1911. To the section of the Victoria History of the County of Cornwall, 1906, dealing with Botany, he contributed the intro- duction, summary of Orders, botanical districts with records of Flowering Plants, and notes on Menthas, Filices, and Characece. To the Journal of Botany Davey contributed a paper on Cornish Plants as early as 1900, and, in 1907, his most impor- tant paper, on Euphrasia Vigursii, Davey. Besides these his contributions were many, viz., in 1906 on the occurrence in Corn- wall of Poly gala serpyllacea, var. vincoides, Chodat; Narcissus odorus; Eriophorum an gust} folium, var. triquetrum; Carex mon- tana, forma; Veronica peregrina; Cornish Rubi and Hieracium umbellatum, var. curtum; in 1907 Notes from Cornwall; in 1908 on Fumaria occidentalis; .Cornish Plants; and a biographical notice of R. V. Tellam; in 1910 on Agrostis verticillata at Falmoi^th; Malaxis paludosa; Herniaria hirsuta; and a new hybrid THTath found by Mr. P. D. Williams; and in 1911, his last paper to that Journal on Thalictrum dunense in Cornwall. To the Reports of the Watson Botanical Exchange Club, which he joined in 1900, he communicated many valuable notes, usually accompanied by sheets of plants. His specimens were always well selected, and beautifully mounted. He was a careful and discriminating collector, and never ruthlessly gathered rare plants, which were in the least danger of becoming still more scarce or extinct. In the Report for 1907-8 he finally deposed Herniaria glabra from any claim to being a Cornish MEMOIR OF DAVEY. Xin. plant. He acted as distributor to the Club in 1908. To the short-lived Cornish Magazine, Vol. II., 1899, he contributed an article on the plants growing in the grounds of Penjerrick, near Falmouth. In the local press Davey frequently wrote popular articles, which undoubtedly stimulated interest in the Cornish Flora. He occasionally delivered excellent popular lectures on Nature subjects in various parts of the County. At the Central Technical Schools for Cornwall at Truro he lectured on Botany during the session 1904-5, and was at one time examiner in Agricultural Botany to the Cornwall County Council. He was elected a Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1903, and was then its youngest Fellow. When the South London Botanical Institute was founded in 1911, he was appointed one of the eleven original Fellows. His most successful work was with the genus Fumaria. He discovered at least one new species, F. neglecta, Pugsley, and possibly another, determined by Dr. Fedde as a continental species, F. major, Badarro, but named by Mr. Pugsley as a new plant, F. paradoxa, Pugsley. In either case, the plant was new to the British Isles. He also added Fumaria purpurea, Pugsley, to the Cornish Flora. His next best work was with the Brambles (Rubi), he being the discoverer of no less than nine new to the County. In the genus Euphrasia he introduced to science a new critical species, E. Vigursii, Davey. He also added a variety in Poly gala serpyllacea, var. vincoides, Chodat. His further addi- tions to the Cornish Flora included Ranunculus trichophyllus and heterophyllus, Reseda inodora, Viola calcarea, LJlex Gallii, var. humilis, a Potentilla hybrid, Matricaria suaveolens (M. dis- coidea), which has now become a common Cornish weed, Gen- tiana lingulata, a Verbascum hybrid, Omphalodes verna, Mimulus moschatus, Veronica peregrina, Euphrasia borealis, a Salix hybrid, Lemna gibba, Agrostis verticillata, and many other British varieties and hybrids, and aliens. His best field work was done in the years 1906 and 1907, by which time he had acquired a sound knowledge of plants. His health was then fairly good, and he was not deeply engaged in the clerical work of the Flora. He took no interest in Cryptogamic botany apart from the Pteridophyta and Characece. After the strenuous work of preparing the Flora, and passing it through the press, his field botany naturally slackened to some extent. In August, 1911, he very efficiently conducted the In- ternational Phytogeographical Excursion through the Lizard district and other parts of West Cornwall. This was carried xiv. MEMOIR OF DAVEY. through at high pressure, and I have little doubt led to the severe heart attack which seized him in the autumn of that year, and kept him in bed for several weeks. From this he slowly re- covered, so that, in the following Spring, he was able to take short drives and very short walks, during which he carefully studied the Potentillcs growing near his house. This partial recovery was unhappily of brief duration, for in July, 1912, cerebral thrombosis supervened. When this cleared up a little, he was able to understand what was said to him, but was frequently at a loss for some words, particularly proper nouns. After some further time he was occasionally able to read, but could never write. After leading an active life, and loving to read the Book of the Glorious Author written on the open pages of moor, forest and field, his condition was truly pitiable. Still, he was always cheerful, at any rate when I was able to pay him a visit, and he continued to take a keen interest in Botany, particularly in Mr. Rilstone's discovery of Nitella gracilis. When shown a plant that he knew, he could seldom speak the name, but, by turning over the pages of the Flora, he would very quickly put his finger on the right name. He was usually con- fined to bed, but was able to get down stairs occasionally, and rarely to walk into his little garden. The end came suddenly on September 23rd, 1915. His body was laid to rest in the Wesleyan Cemetery of his native village Ponsanooth, and, although not a Wesleyan, I was privileged to read the Lesson at the funeral of my true friend. Appreciative obituary notices were published, in the Journal of Botany, with portrait, in January, 1916, by the Editor; in the Report of the Botanical Society and Exchange Club of the British Isles by the Secretary; and in the Report of the Watson Botanical Exchange Club, 1914-15, by myself. Davey resided in his native village until 1907, when he moved to " Beechwood," Perranwell, in the same parish. In 1911 he changed his residence to "St. Pirans," just outside Perranwell village. In 1902 he succeeded his father as Works Manager of the Cornwall Arsenic Company's Works at Bissoe, having previously acted as his assistant for several years. From this position his failing health compelled him to retire in 1912. He was never married. His contributions to science were recognised by a Civil List grant in 1913. The name of Davey is perpetuated by Dr. A. Henry in a new variety of Elm, Ulmus major, var. Daveyi, Henry, which MEMOIR OF DAVEY. XV. occurs sparingly in Cornwall and elsewhere. One tree stands in the hedge opposite the gate of "Beechwood," Perranwell. It was a good thing that Davey appeared on the scene when he did, for, although the earlier Cornish botanists did excellent pioneer work, they kept almost entirely to their own districts; they worked singly; many of their records were not published, and such as were are mostly scattered. Davey supplemented their work by collecting their records together, and, by visiting many parts of the County, obtained a first-hand knowledge of the range of plants far better than any of them had. But he did much more than this. By his enthusiasm he created a new school of Cornish botanists, which, it is to be hoped, will continue the good work their master started, not only for the work's sake, but also with the sentiment that they are doing what he would have wished to be done. I may include one little incident, which we frequently referred to afterwards. On one of his week-end visits to me, while we were out walking together, we met a mutual friend, an elderly Minister, who, on account of his loveable character, was known as "Daddy." After a few words of greeting he said solemnly : — ** Davey, if you knew your Bible as you know your botany, you would be a power in the world," and passed on. I have good authority for stating that, in his profession, Davey was a faithful and reliable Agent to his Directors, who felt towards him a personal regard, and realised that the em- ployment they were able to give him was not really commen- surate with his attainments, and offered little scope for his special qualifications. By those working under him he was regarded with those feelings of affection, which he inspired in all with whom he came in contact. As a botanist he was very careful, thorough, painstaking and hardworking. He was a delightful correspondent, and his letters, written in a clear clerical hand, with usually a sparkle of wit in them, were a pleasure to read. When necessary he could be very tactful, and always avoided hurting the feelings of anyone. He never annexed the records of others, and, being perfectly fair himself, expected to be treated in like manner. As a companion he was always genial and cheery, sympathetic with the troubles of others, but never grumbling about his own. It was a pleasure to walk with him in his own neighbourhood, to see how much he was respected and loved by all. CHAMBRE C. VIGURS. CORRIGENDA ET ADDENDA. DAVEY, FLORA OF CORNWALL, INTRODUCTION. P.

Since 1912 the name var. neglecta, Syme, is apparently applied to those plants having papillate seeds, without reference to glandu- losity.

G. modestum occurs in profusion over three separate areas in Cornwall, all near the sea. There are no intermediates between it and Robertianum. It has a rose-coloured corolla just half the width of G. Robertianum . . .; corolla is more irregular, petals narrower and not overlapping, anthers bright yellow, not red, peduncles short, thick, and densely glandular- hairy, carpels blunt above, covered with raised lines and dots. I have tabulated the differences after examining many hundreds of plants at each locality, and G. modestum appears to be a perfectly good species, which is spreading from three well defined centres in Cornwall. G. purpureum I only know as a ballast casual at Par; it has purple anthers, and a curious elongated zig-zag panicle in fruit. Mr. E. G. Baker carefully examined my specimens with authentically named specimens from France of G. modestum." Clement Reid, B.E.C., 1909, pp. 429-30. See also note on "Geranium purpureum, Vill, and G.

' The closeness of the connection with type seems to be estab- lished especially by the combination of the strong deeply furrowed glabrous stem with the comparatively short curved prickles and showy flower of the panicle. It is, however, considerably unlike in habit and coloration, besides having leaflets narrower and soon bare beneath, with panicle (when fully developed) considerably branched and purplish petals. From R. rusticanus, towards which it takes a step from type, it may be readily distinguished by its epruinose stem, its more compressed prickles, and longer stamens; and from my R. Briggsianus, which at first sight it recalls, by its sulcate stem and short curved panicle prickles, as well as by its different leaves, greyer sepals, and purplish petals." Rev. W. M.

" A careful examination of the plant (a solitary bush) and its surroundings induced all three botanists (Graebner, Schroeter, and Druce) to agree that the hybrid must be E. Tetralix vagans and not cinerea x vagans, since the presence of the glandular hairs must have come from the former species. The longer stamens, the inflorescence, and the habit, sug- gested the presence of vagans, both species being in the. immediate vicinity." New Phyt., 1911, p. 316.

In the following year the original plant and the layers were trodden into the ground by cattle and destroyed. Now growing in Mr. Williams' garden at Lanarth, St. Keverne, and at Kew Gardens. The new plant differs from the usual form of the species in the shape and colour of its corollas, characters which are not easy to make out in dried material. The corollas are broadly campanulate, with a wide open mouth, and well de- veloped, more or less reflexed lobes. The bending back of the corolla lobes varies with the age of the flowers, but in mature, though not faded, examples, it is decidedly more marked than in typical Erica vagans. In colour the fresh corol- las are a charming rose-pink with no tinge of purple. . . . Examples of reversion to the parent plant have been noticed at Kew by Dr. Hill and others." Turrill, loc. cit.

Genus Ulmus, Since the publication of the Flora, much work has been done on the British Elms, and a little on those occurring in Cornwall. Although much remains to be done, a few tentative observations may be useful. I had the advantage, in 1911, of having the trees around Newquay named by Dr. C. E. Moss. The study of the Elms is complicated by the different names adopted by various writers. C. C. Vigurs. Ulmuf glabra, Hudson (U. montana, Stokes ; U. scabra, Miller) . Wych Elm. Probably rarer than the records in the Flora would suggest, and some of them should probably be transferred to U. major, Sm. 5.

Usually called the Dutch Elm, though Professor Henry dissents, as it is not found in Holland. Probably almost as common as the Cornish Elm, and may be native. The few records in the Flora give quite a wrong impression of its prevalence. 3. Row of trees in hedge, Lorigcoombe valley, Polperro; hill above Pont leading to Bodinnick ferry, 1921, Rilstone. 5.

It is underspreading like the type, has very pendulous branches, and somewhat pubescent twigs, and the epicormic branches never produce corky ridges. The leaves are smaller, 2J/2 in. long, 2in. broad. Rare in Cornwall. 3. Near Coldrenick, Henry. 5. Near Perranporth, Henry. I think this is an error for Per- ranwell in district 6. Davey showed me the tree after which Henry named the variety opposite the house "Beech wood." C. C, Vigurs. U. campestrJS, Linn (U. sativa, Miller; U. surculosa, Stokes). The English Elm.

URTICACE/E — MYRICACE/E. 125 It is, as Professor Henry says, a native, and always reproduced by suckers, B.E.C., 1915, p. 280. Davey says it is common in most parts of the county. Its strict habit and small leaves make it quite easy to identify. ' In Cornwall it usually occurs in hedgerows." Moss, Birtish Elms, Card. Chron., 1912. The Elms are easy to collect for the purpose of identification, »only twigs growing from large branches (not suckers), with well developed leaves, being necessary. They are not easy to identify from written descriptions. A short description of them will be found in Bab.

After making a great number of unsuccessful experiments at a great expense, in order to find out some hardy plant that would shelter the more slender trees, he was led to try the pine-aster fir, from ob- serving that this tree grew well spontaneously from some cones which happened to be accidently scattered in one of the fields near his house."

Briefly, he had noticed on a picture of Richmond Park in the Underground Railway a group of unmistakeable S. campanulata, and learnt from the artist, Mr. Tafani, through his agent Mr. Oliver, that the flower grew in the Park. The agent added that he had seen the plant in Middlesex and the West of England, instancing "a moist and mossy spot in a wood off the road between Perranporth and Truro." This Scilla, which grew like a weed in a garden near Perranzabuloe church, has strayed into a hedge-bank outside, 1921, Rilstone. Recorded as S. his- panica, Mill. B.E.C., 1920, p. 150.

Egloshayle Marsh, on bank of a water channel, 1918, Thurston. The recent history of this plant as a British one is very inter- esting. On the strength of specimens from Ireland it was for some time accepted as British, but, in B.E.C., 1917, pp. 57-61 , Mr. Druce writes : — "Both Dr. Rendle and Dr. Stapf, I be- lieve, now agree that the true festuciformis has mot been found in the British Isles." Curiously, before this was pub- lished, Mr. Thurston had found the real plant, and it had been named by Dr. Stapf. Dr. Rendle writes to me, May 20, 1920, saying: — Dr. Stapf considers this to be the same as the typically Adriatic grass, and different from the Irish specimens formerly named G. festucceformis. I am content to leave the matter there, at any rate for the present.** C. C. Vigurs.
