Mimulus moschatus ? (the Musk Plant of gardeners.) Among grass 
by the river Wandle at Mitcham, ina perfectly wild state. September, 
1865. 
The following plants were collected at the beginning of August by 
Mr. Thiselton Dyer, during a visit to the site of the International 
Exhibition of 1862, at South Kensington :—

It is not so easy to trace the origin of these plants, as in the case of 
those at Mitcham and Wandsworth. They are, however, as incontest- 
ably derived from foreign seeds, perhaps brought with packing material.
