112 ALIEN FLORA OF BRITAIN 



Cotula aurea, Loefl. Recorded from waste ground in 

 one locality in England, where it was probably intro- 

 duced with chicken food. 



Cotula COronopifolia, L. Perhaps a native of wet 

 places in Southern Africa. Now naturalised in several 

 places in Europe, and annually extending its range. In 

 England it is thoroughly established near Birkenhead in 

 Cheshire, where it is supposed to have been purposely 

 introduced.

 from Devonshire in a locality in which it was probably 

 of garden origin.

 other cultivated ground.] 



Crepis foetida, L. Native of sandy seashores, dry 

 meadows, and rocky places in South-East Europe. 

 Further north and west it is only recorded from corn- 

 fields and waste ground. In England, though often

Crepis nicaeensis, Balb. A native of dry pastures in 

 Central and South-East Europe. In England occa- 

 sionally noticed in sown grass fields and occasionally
