Abstract
ON Oct. 24 last, I found by the banks of the little river Aled, in North Wales, a dog-violet, which, in the first place, was in flower at that unusual season, and in the second place, growing in a hedge, had assumed the habit of a climbing plant. Its stem measured 2½ feet in length; it bore sixteen alternate leaves, the flowers being axillary, or rather some axils had flowers in them, and others had branches of leaves with flowers axillary in these. One flower only was actually in bloom, but there were several (five or six) seed vessels. I gathered one plant and have it still.
