 MSS. in his copy of With. Ed. ii. p. 914. Now (June

Later evidence of the presence of the true Carline Thistle 

 and of the absence of Cnicus acaulis so far north proves 

 what Dr. Lees says in a letter "Bolton certainly meant 

 Carlina by his ' Cavduus acaulos — the pretty little plant' 

 of Elland Park. I have a specimen of Hailestone's from 

 there as late as 1807 or 1812."
