The locality of Bagley Wood, given in my Fl. Oxf. by the Eev. E. Fox, is 

 incorrect ; lie most probably confused the commoner C oppositifolium. which 

 grows there, with it. The locality of Cliveden Woods, cited correctly for 

 Bucks in the New Bot. Guide., is said incorrectly by Mr. Britten, in liis 

 Contributions, to be in Berkshire.]
