132 UMBELLIFEEJ;. 



First record: Morison, 1672; also first as a British plant. Probably 

 now extinct from the great increase of building about Isleworth and 

 Twickenham. There is no date to Borrer's or Castles' specimens, so 

 that the last year in which the plant was found is, so far as we have 

 been able to ascertain, 1837. Ray {Syn. ii. 102) suspected this to 

 have a garden origin. Mr. Watson classes it with his ' denizens.'] 



(T. officinale, i. E. B. 2440. About London, Petiver ; fcz7A i^Z. 5r. i. 

 295. There is no reason to suppose that this was ever found. Smith 

 was doubtless misled by Petiver's figure {H. B. Cat. xxiv. 6) ; he sets 

 himself right in Etig. Fl. ii. 105. The specimens in Herb. Pet. are 

 T. maximum. Morison {Hist. Ox. iii. 316) points out that confusion in 

 the synonymy of the two plants was probably due to the examination 

 of specimens with unripe fruit.)
