360. G Aparine, L. Goosegrass ; '■ Glider.'' 



iJ^ative ; in hedges, thickets, woods, and as a weed in cultivated 



land. Very common. May to October. Area general. 



Occurs on hedge-banks close to the town. I suppose the local name 



'Glider' to be a corruption of Cleaver, a name bestowed on the plant 



because of its power to cleave or stick to foreign bodies by means of its 



prickles and bristly fruit,

Colonist ; in dry or sandy tillage fields. Rare and local. June
