1 82 Rev. Mr. Sutton'j Description ef 



firft edition of Flo. Angl. \ but, from his uncertainty refpeeling it 

 afterwards, it fhould feem he took it upon truft from Dillenius, 

 rather than from any knowledge he himfelf had of it. Dillenius, 

 in his edition of Rays Synopfis, fpeaks of its being found in a field of 

 oats near Rochefter. It might poflibly be not unknown to Ray. I 

 am at lead inclined to think fo, from a paflage in his Hifioria Planta- 

 rum, vol. ii. p. 1227, where having defcribed the O. majore flore J. B. 

 he adds, " O. flore minore J. B. adeo parum differt a prsecedente 

 ut fpecie diverfum efle mihi perfuadere vix pofTum."
