1. F. vesca (Wood Strawberry), root with creeping scyons, hairs 

 of the pedicels appressed sericeous. Lig/itf. p. 267. E. B.

2. F. elalior (Hautboy Strawberry), " cal. of the fruit reflexed, 

 hairs of the petioles and peduncles all very patent and stibde- 

 flexed." E. B.f.2197. 



HAB. Road-sides and borders of fields near houses, not indigenous, 

 Hopk. Old walls at Branksome. Fl. June Sept. I/ . 



This is much larger than the last, and said by Smith to be essentially 

 distinguished from it, by the hairs on the peduncles being very pa- 

 tent and even deflexed. My specimens, however, from Branksomej 

 and those gathered by Mr. Borrer in Sussex (as mentioned in E. B.) 

 have the hairs on the peduncles quite erect and appressed. The 

 flowers are said to be dioecious. This is not always the case ; my 

 specimens having some perfect stamens and producing fruit plenti- 

 fully. The fruit is deeper red, and has a peculiarly fine flavour. 

 May not this be a var. of the last arising from cultivation, arid the 

 plants supposed indigenous be in every instance the outcast of gar- 

 dens a ?
