'■■'Euphorbia dulcis L. Glascoed Dingle, near Llansilin, 1867, 

 Hb. Jones. I believe this represents the first British record for 

 this species. Tlie plant was collected by Miss Jones and identified 

 by Professor Babington, hence the record in Babington's Manual: 

 Glascoed Dingle, Llansilin. This plant was introduced into 

 British gardens in 1759 from Southern Europe. The "Dingle," 

 which adjoins Glascoed House (Glascoed fawr), is a hollow cut 

 across by a drive. The southern portion— the lower one — is soft 

 and wet ; the upper portion is dry with soft grass, and of irregular 

 surface, running into sinall banks. It is an interesting place 

 botanically, as several introduced plants have been observed here 

 by Miss Jones and Mr. Whitwell. Miss Jones writes in reply to 

 an enquiry:—" I don't know if any botanist lived there [?. e. Glas- 

 coed] . I have often wondered myself. The place belonged at one 

 time to theCyfiins. . . . The then Speaker Sir William Williams, 

 ancestor of the Wynns, married the heiress of the house. Glascoed 

 was at that time a much larger place than it is now." This in- 

 formation suggests a very possible, even probable, origin for the 

 non-native plants (e. g. Galanthus nivalis, Doronicum Pardali- 

 anches, Se?iecio sarracenicus). On this point Mr. Whitwell 

 writes: — " May not the plants in question be surviving represen- 

 tatives of some of those in the original garden ? Although the 

 Dingle now presents no quarry-like aspect, yet it may have been 

 the source of building materials for the property, which stands on 

 millstone grit, and then itself have been laid out as garden and 

 grounds — abandoned to wildness when the status of the house
