202 LILIACE^. 



This species is one of the gems of the Bristol Flora. We 

 are glad to say it runs no risk of destruction at the 

 hands of the quarrjman, — a fate which in E. B., ed. 3, 

 is stated to have already befallen it, — but the more 

 refined weapons of the collector are hardly less deadly, 

 and from these there is danger, unless they be used solely 

 by scientific and unselfish hands. VIII. 



772. A. oleraceum, L. 



Native ; in pastures, among rocks, and sometimes in corn- 

 fields, rare. Singularly indifferent to the nature of soil 

 or situation : fl'iurishing alike on limestone rocks and in 

 the rich riverside pasture laud. 



G. Prope Bristolium copiose ; Huds. Fl. Angl. Corn- 

 fields at Lawrence Weston, July, 1833 ; Herb. Powell. 

 Stapletou ; Herb. Stephens. A good patch in a small 

 hollow on Durdham Down, 1882 and 1883. In plenty 

 for half a mile on the bank of Avon near Sea Mills. 



S. Ashton fields; Miss Aticood, and Mr. T. B.Flower. 

 Very abundant in one spot near the encampment on 

 the hill at Weston-super-Mare ; but, as might be 

 expected from the nature of the ground, the plants are 

 smaller and less vigorous than those on the Avon bank. 

 Mr. D. Fry. VH. VIII. 



773. A. ursinum, L. Ramsom. 



Native ; very abundant in most woods, copses, &c,, 

 thi'oughout the district. V. VI. 



ENDYMION, Dumort. 



774. E. nutans, Bum. Blne-hcll. 



Native ; in woods and damp shady places, very common. 

 White-flowered plants have been observed at P'ilton, 

 and between Patchway and Charlton, G.; and in 

 Somerset near Clevedon, and in a wood between Abbot's 

 Leigh and the Tanpits. V.
