138 ALIEN FLORA OF BRITAIN 



into horticulture, and occasionally recorded in England 

 as naturalised near gardens. 



[Pulmonaria officinalis, L. Native from England to 

 Southern Russia. Plentiful in Belgian woods, and 

 doubtless also in one or two spots in South-East 

 England. It is, however, more common as an escape 

 from cultivation.] 



Symphytum asperrimum, Donn. A native of woods 

 and bushy places in the Orient. It has been grown 

 in England as fodder for cattle, and has thus come 

 to be noticed and recorded in quasi-natural situations. 



Symphytum orientale, L. A native of shady places 

 in South-East Europe. Established in several places 

 in England, perhaps, like Symphytum asperrimum, in 

 consequence of its use as a fodder plant. 



Symphytum tauricum, Willd. Native of shady places 

 in the Orient. Established here and there in waste 

 ground in England. It was possibly originally in- 

 troduced as a fodder plant. 



CONVOLVULACE^. 



[Convolvulus arvensis, L. Native on the sandy hills 

 of the Kentish coast, and probably in similar situations 

 in other parts of our southern seaboard. It is very 

 common as a weed in all kinds of cultivated ground, 

 and is seldom recorded from any more natural 

 situation.]
