 in North England, off limestone. Hedge-row, Denby Dale 

 road, bird-brought (W. Rushforth). ' This species is xero- 

 phile, avoiding Carb. limestone, and occurs in many places on 

 Triasssic Sand and gravel as far north as Durham, and on 

 Coal Measures in Derbyshire ; it may be bird-sown, that being 

 one of its means of distribution, but I believe it to be rather 

 an ancient item of the flora now in a rapid decline.' (F. A. Lees).

 Lees. Introduced somehow (C. P. Hobkirk).
