HYPOPITYS 331 



Alien. Recorded as ' Possibly not native, but in some plenty amid Calluna. 

 Bulmershe Park, Earley, in wliicli park are many planted Conifers,' 

 Dr. F. A. Lees in Rep. of Bot. Record Club, 1883. Mr. Tufnail tells me it 

 was planted there by Mr. Wheble. 



It has also been planted on Binfield Heath, Oxfordshire, and in neither 

 place has it the least claim to be considered a native of the county.

 Native. Sylvestral. Woods and bushy places. Very rare. P. July- 

 August. 

 First record. P. minor, Dr. Noehden, Mavofs Agr. Baks, 1809, but n<> 

 locality is given. 

 5. Loddon. First precise record. 'Without flowers in a coppice of 

 oak and birch scrub, a short half-mile across the bog, eastward 

 from Ascot Station, Berks,' Mr, H. C. Watson in Rep. of Bot. 

 Exch. Club, 17, 187 1. I found it growing rather plentifulU^, and 

 in flower, in a piece of ground recently cleared from brushwood 

 and now planted with trees, below Finchampstead Ridges, near 

 the Spout Pond. 

 P. minor, which is rather plentiful in the woods on the Oxfordshire 

 Chilterns, appears to be absent from the similar woods of the Berk- 

 shire hills. It is recorded for all the bordering counties except 

 Wiltshire. 



[P. MEDIA, Swartz in Vet. Acad. Handl. Stock. (1804) 257. Syme, E. B. vi. 48, 

 t. 897. 



Is given in Mr. Pamplin's list of plants observed about Streatley, which 

 appeared in the Phytologist, v. (1854) 154; but he states that the plant, 

 which he thought was P. media, was seen on the Oxfordshire side of the 

 river. 



Hitherto there has been no satisfactory record of P. media for Oxfordshire 

 or the other bordering counties, and Mr. PampUn's plant was P. minor.]
