UMBELLIFERJE 83 



Anthriscus Cerefolium, Hoffm. Native in bushy 

 places in South-East Europe and Persia, Long culti- 

 vated in England under the name of Chervil, and 

 now surviving in many places in a semi-naturalised 

 state near gardens, or where gardens have been. 



Anthriscus vulgaris, Bernh. Native in Croatia in 

 shady woods and bushy places. In the rest of Europe 

 and Western Asia it is recorded only from roadsides, 

 hedges, and waste ground, where its presence is doubtless 

 due to its ready dissemination by man and domestic 

 animals, to whom its fruit clings by means of hooked 

 hairs. 



Archangelica officinalis, Hoffm. A native of wet 

 woods and river banks from Scandinavia to Central 

 Asia. It has long been cultivated, and is known in 

 a naturalised state in England and other countries 

 where it is not native. 



Astrantia major, L. Native of mountain pastures 

 in Central and Southern Europe. Cultivated in English 

 gardens, and occasionally found as an escape. 



Astrantia minor, L. Indigenous in Central Europe ; 

 occasionally recorded as a garden escape in England. 



Bifora radians, Bieb. A cornfield weed of Southern 

 Europe which has been recorded as a grain introduction 

 in England. 



Bifora testiculata, Roth. A weed of cultivated ground 

 in the Mediterranean region, introduced into Britain 

 with imported grain, and occasionally observed where 

 grain-siftings have been thrown.
