wild, where it forms with dwarf hazel, blackthorn, privet, furze, and 

 juniper a scrub formation on the ledges of the limestone cliffs. I 

 have only succeeded in finding one ripe berry in twenty years. Fine 

 imported specimens, with abundant fruit, were sold in Cardiff last 

 Christmas (1910) as French holly. Ed.

Allium, Linn. 423. 



Ampeloprasum, Linn. Wild Leek. 



This plant was first observed by D. Newton on one of the two 

 islands known as the Holmes. Ray. Syn. 1689. Ed. I. p. 165. 

 It still occurs on the Flat Holme (v. c. 41) and Steep Holme (v.c. 6). 

 As it has succeeded in the struggle for existence for two centuries and 

 a half, it may be deemed worthy of a permanent place in the British 

 Flora, even if its status be no more than that of a denizen. Storrie's 

 experiments prove that the wild plant differs much in flavour from 

 the types cultivated in gardens.
