records includes also those of Surrey, Berks, Oxford, Bucks, 

 Middlesex, Herts, Suffolk, Cambridge, Bedford, Gloucester, 

 Warwick, Salop, York and Cumberland ; some of these 

 being false or erroneous, as Cumberland and Cambridge ; 

 and to others the species has apparently been introduced 

 by cultivation in gardens, as Salop and York. 



1079. Allium Ampeloprasum, Linn, 



1080. Allium Babingtonii, Borr. 



Area (1) [12 * * 15]. 



Alien in England. Sarnian. Hibernian. The former 

 of these two plants has been long on record as an inhabi- 

 tant of the island called Steep Holmes, at the mouth of the 

 Severn ; where it is stated by Mr. Borrer to be " the re- 

 mains of ancient cultivation." The latter is figured in 

 English Botany, Supplement, 2906, from the neighbour- 

 hood of Grade and Ruan Minor, where it occurs " in great 

 luxuriance, but only in or near old orchards, though we 

 could not learn that the inhabitants make any use of it. 

 In Ireland it is probably a true native." Mr. Hunt has 

 sent me the A. Ampeloprasum from St. Michael's, Azores, 

 where also occur many of the plants of Ireland and the 

 South-west of England. The same species is indigenous 

 in Guernsey, according to Babington. Mr. Andrews con- 

 siders the Irish A. Babingtonii not distinct, as a species, 

 from A. Ampeloprasum. The latter has been reported 

 from Cumberland (Hutchinson) and Forfarshire (G. Don), 

 where some other species may likely have been mistaken 

 for it.
