AJUGA 413 



In the first edition of the Manual of British Botany Babington inquired 

 if ours was the true T. Scordium. Our specimens are certainly true 

 Scordium, not the var. scordioides. 



T. Scordium has not been recorded for any other of the bordering 

 counties except Oxfordshire.

Native. Sylvestral and ericetal. Dry open woods, commons, and 

 heaths, preferring sunny exposures. Locally abundant, but rare 

 or absent from the greater part of the Isis district. P. May-Sept. 



First record. Wilde Sage. It growes on the Chilsey Hills, MS. in Lytes 

 Herball, 1660. T. scorodonia in Mavor's Agr. Berks, 1809.

Cumnor Hurst, Baxter. Birch Copse, Lawson in Herb. Oxf. 

 Tubney, Walker. W^ootton Heath. Cothill. 

 Too common in the heathy parts of the Pang, Kennet, and Loddon 

 districts to requii*e the enumeration of localities. 

 Humble-bees are verj' fond of the flowers. 



T. Scorodonia is recorded for all the bordering counties, but it is quite 

 local in Oxfordshire. 



AJUGA, Linn. Gen. n. 624 {Bugula, Tournefort, Inst. t. 98. 

 A. reptans, Linn. Sp. PI. 561 (1753'. Bugle.

 First record. Sonning, Mr. S. Rudge, 1800, Herb. Brit. Mus. Ajuga 



reptans, without locality in Russell's Cat. 1839. 

 The Bugle is too frequent to need localities being given. 

 A white-flowered form has been noticed in Bagley Wood by Sister Jane 

 Frances, at Mortimer by Mr. Tufnail, and I have seen it near Coleshill, 

 Kadley, Appleton, Wytham, Streatley, Kintbury, Hungerford, Alder- 

 maston Soak, Finchampstead Leas, Windsor Park, &c. Pale-blue- 

 flowered forms are also found, as at Wytham, Kadley, Pusey, Steventon, 

 Sulham, Wargrave, Cookham, &c. Plants with rose-coloured flowers 

 have been seen in Windsor Forest, Mortimer, Pad worth, &c.
