Tavern, Blackwall." Under "Buckinghamshire" in Tur- 

 ner and Dillwyn's Guide, Mr. Gotobed reports this plant 

 *' in a moist meadow at Upton, remembered for fifty years 

 by the present tenant of the farm ; also in a peat field 

 near Dorney." And in the same publication Mrs. Cobbold 

 states that it is a troublesome weed in pastures at Little 

 Stonham. Two or three botanists have reported it in Dor- 

 set ; whether really native, I am not prepared to say. It 

 was formerly found by the Avon, near Stratford, and pos- 

 sibly exists there still. L. aestivum is considered native, 

 though local, in Denmark. 



Leucojum vernum is stated to have been discovered 

 near Bicester; with a reference, for particulars, to the 

 Gardener's Magazine of July, 1836, p. 371.

Alien. Reported as having been established for many 

 years in some few spots of the Channel and Thames pro- 

 vinces, chiefly in the county of Surrey. It has occurred 

 very locally and sparingly in other more northerly pro- 

 vinces of England, doubtless there originating from gar- 

 dens ; and probably so in the more southerly provinces.
