ROSACEA 71 



Ootoneaster microphylla, Wall. A native of the 

 Himalayan region. Cultivated in English gardens, and 

 said to be naturalised on Brean Down in Somerset. 



CrataBgus COCCinea, L. A native of North America, 

 imported and largely planted in Britain, and semi- 

 naturalised in woods in one or two places. 



Crataegus pyracantha, L. A native of Southern 

 Europe. Much cultivated in Britain, and occasionally 

 noticed in a semi-wild state. 



Tragaria chiloensis, Duchesne. A native of Europe, 

 reaching northward to Normandy and Belgium, but 

 apparently nowhere acknowledged as indigenous in 

 Britain. It was, however, once much cultivated, and 

 escapes have frequently been recorded from different 

 parts of the country. 



JHespilus germanica, L. Native of woods in Central 

 and Southern Europe. In England it was very generally 

 cultivated during the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- 

 turies, and has survived in many parts of Southern 

 England in hedges and woods, where it had been 

 originally planted. It does not appear ever to have 

 been observed as spontaneous, or in a locality entirely 

 free from suspicion, and should not therefore, without 

 further investigation, be admitted into our native 

 list. 



Potentilla COllina, Wib. A native of Southern Europe 

 which has been recorded once in England amongst 

 other casuals, and was probably an outcast from some 

 garden.
