Denizen. Viatical. Admitted a native by Hooker, 

 Henslow, Babington, &c. Various botanists, however, re- 

 cord its local habitats as liable to suspicions ; and some 

 deem it a plant originally introduced by monks. On the 

 whole, the testimony seems in favoiu' of holding it a true 

 native, on the chalk and limestone tracts, even although 

 many of its present localities, about old castles and ruins 

 of religious buildings, may have been of artificial origin in 

 ages past.
