258 RUBIACEAE 



3. Pang. Near Tilehvirst, Tufnail. Between Goring and Reading, 



A. French in Herb. Druce. 

 L. Caprifolium is recorded for Hants and Oxfordshire. 



Ii. Periclymenum, Linn. Sp. Pi. 173 (1753''. Woodbine, Honeysuckle. 



Periclynienum, Gerard, 743, and of Dioscorides. 

 Top. Bot. 210. Syme, E. B. iv. 206, t. 642. Nyman, 321. Fl. Oxf. 147. 

 Native. Sylvestral. Septal. Woods, thickets, hedges, &c. Widely 

 disti'ibuted, and too common and too well known to require the 

 mention of localities. Even in the area of the pinewoods it may 

 often be seen. Shrub. May-September. 

 First record. Periclymenum fol. Querims \_Quercinis] non procul Oxonio, 

 Mr. Jenner, Merrett's Pinax, 1666. In colle Chilswelliensi prope 

 Oxon, MS. in [How's] Phyt. Brit, in Magdalen Coll. Lib. about 1659, 

 Sonning, Mr. S. Pudge in Herb. Brit. Mus. 1800. With oaklike 

 leaves in Bagley Wood, Baxt. Phaen. Bot. n. 287. 

 The form alluded to by Mr. Baxter is not uncommon in shady 

 woods where the prostrate barren branches have often very pubescent 

 leaves (var. piibescens. Hard.). Mr. J. Carroll, in 1849, gathered a mon- 

 strous form on the palings of Windsor Park. 



X. Periclymenum is found in all the bordering counties. 



*Ii. Xtlosteum, Linn. Sp. PI. 174 (1753). Fly Honeysuckle. 



Comp. Cyb. Br. 521. Syme, E. B. iv. 208, t. 643. Nytnan, 322. Fl. Oxf. 147. 



Alien. Hedges, shrubberies. Very rare. Shrub. July. 



Planted in many situations, as at Radley ; it has a semi- wild appearance 

 in a hedge near Ambarrow. 



EUBIACEAE, B. Jiiss. Hort. Trianon (1759). 



BuBiA PEREGRiNA, Linn. Sp. PI. 109 (1753). Wild Madder. 



R. anglica, Huds. Fl. Angl. 54 (1762). Top. Bot. 210. Syme, E. B. iv. 211, t. 645. 



Ambiguity or error. 'In the neighbourhood of Kintbury or Inkpen,' 

 Mr. H. Reeks in Britt. Contr. 1871. A most unlikely station, as the plant is 

 only recorded for South Hants of the bordering counties. I suspect that 

 Asperula odorata or Galium Mollugo, which had existed through the winter, 

 was mistaken for Rubia by Mr. Reeks. 



GALIUM, Linn. Gen. n. T17 {Gallium, Tournefort, Inst. t. 39). 

 G. Cruciata, Scop. Fl. Cam. ed. 2, i. 100 (1772). Mugweed, Crosswor/. 



Vaillantia Cruciata, Linn. Sp. PI. 1052 (1753). Cruciata, Dodoens. 



Galium cruciatum, With. Bot. Arr. ed. 3, ii. 186 (1796', Sm. E. B. 



t. 143. 

 Top. Bot. 211. Syme, E. B. iv. 213, t. 647. Nyman, 331. Fl. Oxf. 151. 

 Native. Septal. Hedges, woods, thickets. Locally abundant, but 



absent from considerable areas. A conspicuous feature in the 



vegetation of the lanes of the central part of the county. P. 



April-June.
