Wimp CABBAGE. (1) The Sea Cabbage,

abundant on the banks of the Yeo between 
Ilchester and Mudford, where it can only be 
considered as an escape from cultivation (Rev.

(3) A dozen school-children at Paulton give 
me this as a local name for the Ivy-leaved Toad-

mistake—I cannot say how wide-spread it may
