This species was found at Dover in 1825 by Peete, who described it as a 
new species under the name of S. patens, and cited as a synonym Cucubalus 
viscosus, Huds. (not Linn., which = Melandryum viscosum, Celak. [1868]). 
He was at first inclined to refer the specimens to S. paradoza, a species then 
known from Dauphiny, but which has since been found in Luxemburg. 1 
have examined fresh specimens from Hythe; according to Syme (‘Engl. 
Botany,’ ed. IIT. vol. ii. p. 66), it has also been found on Salisbury Crags, 
near Edinburgh ; but this record has not been verified.
