M The specimens in Buddie's Herbarium (Herb. Sloane, vol. cxxvi. 
folio 22, British Museum) belong to this species. It is very doubtful 
whether this is a spontaneous plant with us. I have only seen two 
specimens, that in Buddie's Herbarium and that mentioned in my re- 
view, p. 14. The species is frequent in our gardens, and the speci- 
men, n. 37 ! of Wood's Herbarium came from a garden. The fruit 
drawn on plate 583 of 'English Botany/ is from a garden rose."
