242 THE FLOKA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 



TILIACE^E. 

 TILIA. 



T. grandifolia, Ehrh. Large leaved Lime. 



Denizen : Hedges. Rare. 

 II. "Warwick," Comp., Cyb., Brit., 129; Mr. Kirk considered some 

 trees of this species, near Coventry, as native ; why, I am 

 unable to state ; I do not think it has any claim to be con- 

 sidered native in any Warwickshire station where I have seen it. 

 T. intermedia, DC. is most abundant in many of our hedges and 

 parks, but is always a planted tree. Those at Baddesley 

 Clinton, Y. and B., are undoubtedly planted. Mr. Bromwich 

 says it " appears wild at Burton Green and Kenilworth." 

 T. parvifolia, Ehrh. Small leaved Lime Tree. 



Native : In woods and hedges. Rare. July. 

 I. Hartshill Hayes, two trees only observed. 

 II. Beausale Common, II. B. ; Brandon, Kirk ; Whitmore Park, 

 2'. Kirk, Herb. Perry. 

 It is impossible to decide what claim any of our forest trees have 

 to be considered wild, as even in primitive woods, such as 

 Chesterton Wood, saplings are constantly planted. 



LINACE^E. 

 RADIOLA. 



E. millegrana, Sm. All-seed Flax. 



Native : On moist heathy places. Rare. July, August. 

 I. Coleshill Pool, Purt.i.; Freeman, Phyt. i., 262; heathy footways. 

 Balsall Common ; near Honily ! H.B. 

 II. Shrewley, H.B. ; about a mile south of Rugby, side of Barbv 

 Road, R.S.R. 



LINUM. 



L. catharticum, Linn. Purging Flax. 



Native : On banks and in fields. Common, more especially in 

 marly soils. May to July. Area general. 



[L. angusti/olium, Huds., is recorded from the side of Hill Morton 

 Road, near Rugby, R.S.R., 1875 ; Burton Dasset. introduced 

 with grass, Bolton King : merely a casual weed.] 



[L usitatissimum, Linn. Common flax. Springs up occasionally in 

 cultivated fields, and on railway banks. It was abundant 

 on the new railway bank at Sutton Park, in 1868, but was not 

 permanent. Purton records it from Broome, Mid. Flor., i., 164 ; 

 and Mr. Bromwich finds it near Kenilworth, Stoneleigh. 

 Honily, and Leamington. I believe it is often introduced by 

 bird catchers, being used as oue of their baits.
