62 ADDITIONS TO THE WYCOMBE FLORA. 
on Winter Hill, Berks, just within the district. This is the more 
interesting on account of the disappearance of the plant from its 
former locality near Little Marlow, the only place in Bucking- 
hamshire, from which it had-been recorded; it has, however, I 
am informed, been found this year on Green Street by Mrs. B. 
Lucas. That careful observer, Mr. Daniel Avery, has found the 
Scaly Spleenwort (Ceterach officinarum), in some abundance on a 
wall at Moor Farm, near Lane End. In Oulpeper’s ‘ Herbal’ 
it is said to grow ‘‘on Beckonsfield Church in Berkshire.” The 
Columbine ( Aquilegia vulgaris), and Deadly Nightshade (Atropa 
Belladonna), have been noticed in a wood near Moor Farm by 
Mr. Avery; of the latter plant I found the following note in 
Curtis’ Flora Londinensis—‘*We remember to have seen it 
growing in great abundance on Keep Hill, near High Wycomb, 
Buckinghamshire. Close by the spot where we observed it, 
there chanced to be a little boy. I asked him if he knew the 
plant. He answered ‘ Yes, it was naughty man’s cherries.’ I 
then enquired of him if he had ever eaten of the berries? He 
said he had, with several other children from an adjoining poor- 
house, and that it made them all very sick, but that none of 
them had died.” I learn that the plants on Keep Hill were 
subsequently destroyed lest other children should ‘“‘eat of the 
berries ;’ but, as many of our readers know, it still grows in 
the Park adjoining the Hill.

ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. 
As a supplement to the foregoing, I may enumerate the more 
important additions which have been made this year to the 
Flora, not of our district, but of the county. Four of them have 
been already enumerated under the former head, and the 
following may also be cited: — 
Rhamnus Frangula. The Miss Drummonds, of the Tile House, 
Denham, have very kindly sent me specimens of this from 
Juniper Wood, in their neighbourhood.
