 vations on the species of Tilia natives of England, with Notices of 

 some individual remarkable and aged Trees." The author stated that 

 he considered the Lime indigenous to Worcestershire, the borders of 

 Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire and South Wales.

 eight miles north of Worcester, where for many years it has regu-

 stumps are moss-covered and evidently of great age. It is also ap-
