448 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



of tlie Rev. W. W. NewboukI, who tells me that the shrub 

 grows at i^dwick-le-street, Doncaster. 



509. Lonicera Caprifolium, vol. ii. p. 10. 



Mr. E. G. Varenne mentions stations in Essex where 

 there would appear some likelihood that it may be native : 

 — " Found in wood lanes near Monk's Hall, and on the 

 border of a wood at Eivenhall ; springing up in the 

 hedges of the woods quite retired ; in the fields in one 

 instance, altogether away from habitations of any kind." 

 But do not birds occasionally transport the seeds from 

 the gardens to the more wild-seeming i)laces ? 



510. Lonicera Xylosteum, vol. ii. p. 10. 



Province (8) may be added to those on record for this

The counties of Merioneth (Mr. A. W. Bennett) and 

 Hereford (Mr. W. H. Purchas) have also been recently re- 

 ported for this plant. 



516. Galium uliginosum, vol. ii. p. 15. 



Perhaps it would be safer to exclude the North Isles 

 from the true area of this species. Its occurrence in 

 Orkney has not been verified since the date of Lowe's 

 list, so far as my notes show ; and although the Author of 

 the Shetland Flora calls it " frequent " in wet places, 

 this record can hardly be held decisive in the case of a 

 species that might be easily confounded with others by a 

 young botanist. 



518. Galium erectum, vol. ii. p. 16. 



Of this doubtful species Mr. Gibson of Walden writes, 

 " I cannot think this species distinct fi-om G. MoUugo ; 

 growing in moist places it generally flowers earlier, but I
