I30 ALIEN FLORA OF BRITAIN 



a common cornfield weed in Europe, and frequently 

 reaches this country as a grain introduction.] 



Androsace maxima, L. A Mediterranean cornfield 

 weed, communicated by Mr. Fraser Robinson from 

 Hull, among other casuals. 



Cyclamen hedersefolium, Ait. Native in shady woods 

 of Southern Europe. It has been claimed as a native 

 in Sussex and other counties, where it occurs in woods 

 and hedges. A consideration, however, of its general 

 cultivation, its powers of persistence where once 

 cultivated, and its limited southern distribution, make 

 it almost certain that the species is an introduced one 

 in Britain. 



Lysimachia punctata, L. A native of damp shady 

 places from Belgium to Southern Russia. It has been 

 grown in English gardens, and has been recorded as 

 more or less established in a few localities. In Canada 

 and the United States it is also known as an adventive 

 from Europe. 



Lysimachia stricta, Soland. Native of wet ground 

 in the United States. Naturalised on the shores of 

 Windermere. Probably of garden origin. 



Steironema ciliatum, Rafin. A native of low ground 

 and thickets in the United States. Long cultivated in 

 England, and now sometimes occurring in a semi- 

 naturalised state near gardens or where gardens have 

 been.
