210 MR. C, BUCKNALL : A REVISION 
А plant in the De Candolle Herbarium labelled * 8. officinale var. ? 
Ekaterinoslav ad Borysthemum (R. Dnieper), Herb. Besser,” is quoted by 
De Candolle in the * Prodromus. The stem is very narrowly and partially 
winged, the leaves are lanceolate and tubercular-asperous, and the calyx is 
nearly glabrous with ciliate teeth. I can only refer it to S. uliginosum. 
Mr. Bailey’s herbarium contains five sheets of a plant gathered in Sefton 
Park, Liverpool, in 1874. They are indistinguishable from Hungarian 
specimens of S. uliginosum, and probably sprung from seeds introduced with 
grain or fodder, These are, so far as I know, the only examples of this 
species that have occurred in Britain.
