176 COMPOSITE. 



First record : Tta]], 1696; last, 1805. The progress of London has destroyed 

 the localities for this fine species in Middlesex, thoi;gh it still grows 

 further down the river on the Kentish shore, at Plumstead Butts. 

 (Two other localities are on record. IV. Hampstead Heath ; Cooler, 

 100. V. Among reeds in the claypits of the large brickfields at 

 Shepherd's Bush, 1835, Pamplin; 2sew B. G. Supp. S. arvensis was 

 in these cases probably mistaken for S. palustris.)]

First record: Petiver, 1713. Curtis's figure represents the common large 

 form (C. agrestis, Kit.). The very variable leaves and amount of 

 luxuriance gave characters to several species of the old botanists.

 H. apJtacoides acutwm, both found about London.
