50 ALIEN FLORA OF BRITAIN 



[Geranium lucidum, L. Though usually only recorded 

 from hedges and walls, this species is truly native in 

 England on seashores and among loose stones on 

 hillsides.] 



Geranium macrorrhizum, L. A native of the moun- 

 tains of Southern Europe, which has been introduced 

 into English gardens, and grows in a perfectly naturalised 

 state on and near old walls in two places on Dartmoor 

 in Devonshire. 



[Geranium molle, L. A plant which has been most 

 persistently restricted by the authors of local British 

 Floras to cultivated and waste ground. It is common 

 in such situations, but is also an undoubted native of 

 dry pasture land.] 



Geranium nodosum, L. A native of rocky and bushy 

 places from the Pyrenees to Greece. It has long been 

 in cultivation in England, and is recorded as naturalised 

 in several localities. 



Geranium phseum, L. Though absent as a native 

 in Northern France and Northern Germany, this species 

 reaches Belgium, where it occurs in woods and by 

 streams. There is therefore no geographical reason 

 why it should not be found as an indigenous British 

 plant. In all its numerous British stations, however, 

 local authorities now consider it naturalised, and of 

 garden origin. 



Geranium pusillum, Burm. f. Native in Belgian pas- 

 tures, but not in Normandy or in Northern Germany.
