go ALIEN FLORA OF BRITAIN 



Scandix pinnatifida, Vent. One of the numerous 

 grain aliens noticed by Mrs. Baker at Oulton Broad, 

 Norfolk. 



[Selinimi Carvifolia, L. There can be no doubt that 

 this is a true native of its few stations in Eastern 

 England. It was cautiously designated a denizen by Mr. 

 Lees (on its first discovery) in his admirable summary 

 of its history {Journal of Botany, 1882, p. 129), but in 

 the absence of any geographical evidence to the contrary, 

 and considering that it has been discovered in other 

 unsuspected localities, no further doubt need now exist 

 as to its native status.] 



Siler trilobum, Crantz. In its one known station in 

 England near Cambridge it is certainly an introduction, 

 probably an example of intentional planting or sowing 

 by some local botanist. The settlement of its status 

 forms an instructive contrast to that of the Seliniim 

 Carvifolia, L. Both species are growing in their usual 

 native surroundings, and both well established, but 

 the Selinum is supported by geographical evidence. 

 The Siler falls under strong suspicion in consequence 

 of all want of support in that direction. Its geo- 

 graphical range on the Continent completely ends in 

 Mid-Europe, and, so far as can be ascertained, no 

 other station for the species is known further north- 

 east than Metz. 



Sison Amomuin, L. Native in bushy and grassy 

 places in the Mediterranean region. In Normandy, 

 Belgium, and Britain only recorded, so far as the writer 

 has seen, from roadsides, field-borders, and such-like 

 artificial situations. Careful investigation, moreover, in
