plants.” (Trimen and Dyer.) He gives the following, the latter 
of which is probably in Oxfordshire, although the tree is very 
abundant on the chalk in Bucks. 
14. Rubus Jdeus L (Raspberry).-—‘‘ As common as brambles in 
the woods of Chesham—Boys in Buckinghamshire.” 
15. Pyrus Aria L.—‘ Growes plentifully in Henly Woods.” 
Nicholas Culpeper, whose Herbal, ‘The English Physitian 
Enlarged,’ 1653, has passed through so many editions, and is 
still so popular among village ‘‘herb doctors,” records one 
addition to our flora, in the edition published 1653. 
16. Juniperus communis L.— Juniper-bush. In the High-way 
neer Amersham in Buckingham-shire.” 
In Robert Turner’s ‘ Botanologia: the Brittish Physician, or 
the Nature and Vertues of English Plants’ (1664), there are the 
following references to Buckinghamshire plants :— 
17. Polygonum Bistorta L.—(Bistort or Snake-weed.) ‘‘I have 
found it in the meadows by Wickomb in Buckinghamshire.”’ 
18. Sambucus Hbulus L.—‘ (Dwarf Elder or Danewort.) In the 
lane near Hyedsor wharf in Buckinghamshire, and in the grounds 
of Mr. Hind at Hedsor.” 
Juniperus communis L,—“ It grows much upon the hills and 
woody groundsin . . . . Buckinghamshire.” 
19. Linum catharticum L.—(Mill-mountain.) ‘‘I have been told 
it grows near Wickomb in Buckinghamshire.” 
In Christopher Merret’s ‘ Pinax’ (1667) occur the following, 
which, possibly, may not belong to our county; the two first- 
named, however, are not cited by Dr. Trimen for Middlesex. 
20. Caucalis daucoides L.— Plentifully in the corn fields near 
Slough, Middlesex.” 
21. Festuca myurus L. —‘ Beyond Slough on the ground.” 
22. Echium vulgare L.—(Viper’s Bugloss) with flesh-coloured, 
blue, and white flowers.—‘‘In many places ’twixt Aylesbury 
and Evesham.” 
Perhaps Caucalis daucoides may have been erroneously recorded, 
as Merrett’s work is not always trustworthy ; but its occurrence 
in our county is not improbable.
