Native. Sylvestral. In the woods about Leemouth or 

 Linton, in Devon ; which is the only habitat as yet ascer- 

 tained for this species in England. I discovered it in that 

 habitat in the year 1833, but finding only the autumnal 

 remains, from which the flowers and fruit had disappeared, 

 I was not able to decide about the species, and mentioned 

 it doubtingly as E. pilosa in the New Botanist's Guide. 

 From the descriptions of other botanists, I suppose it to 

 have been since observed in several different, though adja- 

 cent, spots. Has been long known in Ireland. It was 

 formerly reported in Kent, Middlesex, and Herts ; but 

 probably E. platyphyllos was thus misnamed in these 

 three counties.
