II I never saw this grovvinge but in the garden of my faithful! good 

 frend Mr. William Coys in Northokington in Essex, and in my 

 garden at Droxford of seeds receaved from him in Anno 1618. — 

 MS. f. 95. 



[The first mention of English Cymbalaria is in Coys' Garden-List 

 of 1617, p. 317. It is a pleasure to note that after the lapse of 

 245 years the original station for this plant in Great Britain should 

 be noted by Gibson, Flora of Essex, 1862, on the authority of Edw. 

 Forster, as 'Old wall at Stubbers', and we ourselves found it there 

 in 1 92 1. Parkinson noted the plant 'about Hatfield' in 1640.]
