In the latter, as in England, it is only recorded from 

 hedges and from waste and cultivated ground. 



Geranium pyrenaicum, Burm. f. A native of woods 

 and meadows in the west of Europe, as far north as 

 the centre of France. In Normandy and England it 

 is only known on hedge-banks and in field-borders. It 

 occupies the same position in our Flora as Lamiuiit 

 album, but, unlike most of our hedgerow weeds, it 

 appears to be of fairly recent introduction, being 

 unnoticed until the time of Hudson (1762). It is 

 not impossible that garden culture may have assisted 

 in its dispersal. 1 The species is claimed, it must be 

 noticed, by several writers of British local Floras, but 

 in no case is any natural habitat recorded to support 

 the claim. 



[Geranium rotundifolium, L. Native on rocks in a 

 few localities ; locally common on old walls and such- 

 like artificial situations.] 



Geranium striatum, L. A native of the woods of 

 Southern Europe, naturalised in numerous localities in 

 England, especially in the south-western counties, and 

 always traceable to garden culture. 



Impatiens biflora, Walt. Native of temperate North 

 America; first recorded in England at Albury in Surrey, 

 in the year 1822. It has since been traced along the 

 banks of the Tillingbourne, from many miles above 

 Albury to the junction of that stream with the river 

 Wey, down the latter to the Thames, and as far down 

 the Thames as London. Along the whole of this 

 line it is now completely naturalised. It has since
