MALVA III 



First record. Hypericum tomentosum upon Bulmarsh Heath two miles 

 from Reading, J. Watlington about 1652. See MS. in Ashmole's 

 copy of [How's] Phyf. Brit. (It is interesting to find that after 

 a period of two and a half centuries the plant still exists in the 

 same locality.) Ascyrum supinum villosum palustre, C. B., Bagshot 

 Heath, Mr. Doody in Ray, Syn. ed. 2, 345, 1696. H. elodes, Snels-

 Coll. Grounds, Sandhurst. Broadmoor. Owlsmoor. Long 

 Moor. White Moor. 

 The locality of Bagley Wood, given me by Rev. E. Fox, and in- 

 serted on his authority in my Flora of Oxfordshire, was, I am convinced, 

 an error ; he probably confused in his mind the Bagley Wood with a 

 Dorsetshire locality. I did not discover until after the Flora was pub- 

 lished that my old friend's once excellent memory had become a little 

 uncertain. 



H. elodes does not, so far as I am aware, occur in Oxfordshire or 

 Gloucestershire, but is found in the other bordering counties.
