N.B. If this cabbage were not 

 so liable to distrust in most 

 of its alleged localities, as a 

 probable escape from culti- 

 vation, it might perhaps be 

 accepted as native on the 

 cliffs of Kent, the Peninsula, 

 and South Wales. Dr. Tate 

 wrote in 1871, " truly na- 

 tive" in South Devon. (18 

 27 62 66 67 69 75 81 88 

 85 86 100). 



114 Brassica campestris. 

 B. Rapa. 

 B. Napus. 



The exact application of these 

 names is still so unsettled, 

 and the records of localities 

 so confused through mis- 

 nomers and uncertainties as 

 to the real wildness of the 

 things intended by the 

 variously applied names, 

 that no real usefulness could 

 arise from a merely con- 

 densed enumeration of re- 

 ported counties. The plant 



now so plentiful along the 

 Thames is apparently a wild 

 state of the Turnip, whether 

 named Rapa or campestris. 

 To record it as Napus was 

 at first simply a misnomer 

 through not seeing the plant 

 at a sufficiently early stage 

 of its growth. Uninquiring 

 repetitions of error cannot 

 amend or confirm the origi- 

 nal error itself.
