NOTE. Both in Kent and Surrey this sp. is freq. seen on the 

 old Pilgrims' Way. It is the original " Canterbury Bell," so named 

 because the shape of the fl. resembled that of the small bells carried on 

 standards by the pilgrims on their way to the shrine of the " holy 

 blisful martir," at Canterbury. Perhaps the pilgrims had a supersti- 

 tous regard for the pi., and introduced its seed along the route.
