LILIACEZ. QUT 
specimen and some living roots, which leave no doubt as to the cor- 
rectness of the nomenclature. I applied to the finder, the Rev. 
W. S. Hampton, rector of Stubton, and he writes: “I found one good- 
sized patch of it in a lane in the parish or Doddington, next parish 
to my own. The roots were very close together. I should think the 
patch was not far from a yard square; I did not see any other patches. 
I should observe that the lane in question is at some distance from 
houses, and very little frequented; but whereas a great deal of the 
land round it is clay, the lane is very sandy, and the sides of the lane 
have been in many places dug out for the sand, and filled up again 
with soil from other places.” 
ALLIUM PARADOXUM. Don. 
Found by Mr. Alexander Craig Christie in Binny Craig Woods, 
twelve miles west of Edinburgh; probably planted by Mrs. Stewart of 
Binny House. The Rey. B. Hislop also found a plant by the banks 
of the Water of Leith above Colinton. (See Trans. of Bot. Soc. 
Edin. vol. viii. p. 458.) Arniston Woods, Edinburgh. (Trans. Bot. 
Soc. Edin. vol. ix. p. 480.) 
ALLIUM ROSEUM. Zin. 
A. ambiguum, Sibth. & Smith. D. Don, in Engl. Bot. Suppl. No. 2803 (non. D.C.). 
This plant formerly occurred on the shore of the Medway, a little 
above Rochester Bridge, where it was discovered by Mr. J. A. Hankey 
in 1837. A specimen from this station was figured by Don as quoted 
above. I found the plant in abundance in 1853, on the inner slope 
of the embankment which surrounds a small field which projects into 
the river Medway beneath Rochester Castle; but on revisiting the 
spot in 1866, the Allium had entirely disappeared. It is also said to 
have occurred on Eye Castle Hill, Suffolk. 
ALLIUM NIGRUM. Lin. 
Living roots of this were sent tome from a hedgebank at Sprowston, 
near Norwich, by the Rev. Kirby Trimmer, who states the plant has 
been known for fifty years in that locality. It is the A. Ampeloprasum 
of that gentleman’s “ Flora of Norfolk,” page 144. 
ALLIUM MOLY. Lin. 
Naturalised in plantations at Low Wood, near Belfast. Mr. T. A. 
Steward, in Cyb. Hib. p. 297.
