220 WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : CATALOGUE OF LINCOLNSHIRE PLANTS. 
approaching the var. myrtifolius A. Gray, of America (N.).’ 
There are other spms. from N.—East Fen in the Banks’ Herb. at 
the Brit. Mus. But all excepting Mr. Sneath’s are the ordinary 
narrow-leaved form. Can this Lincoln spm. be a N. American 
casual ? 
Laruyrus maritimus Bigel. Extinct native? N.—Ingoldmells. 
See Parkinson’s Theat. Bot., 1640, p. 1060, and H. C. Watson’s 
Cybele Brit., Vol. 3, p. 415, as to sp. once existing ; also Dr. B. 
Carrington’s paper, Bot. Gaz., 1849, pp. 323-324. I am trying 
to trace the Carrington spm. at present. 
Lathyrus macrorrhizus Wimm.+ Native. N.—7.+ ; 
Doddingtont, 215’55; Rev. R. E. G. Cole. Whisbyt, 
1-792; Mr. J. Burtt Davy. 
ROSACEA. 
Prunus spinosa L.t Native. Fairly common N, and S. 
Var. fruticans Weihe.t Native. I have only four localities for 
N., but this cannot represent its occurrence, as it is not often 
noticed. It flowers three to four weeks later than the type, and 
seems to me to be nothing but an intermediate form between 
P. spinosa L. and P. insititia L. 
Prunus insititia L.+ Native. Not quite so frequently met with 
as the last N. or S. At N.—North Kelsey, on Mr. Gibbon’s 
farm, the yellow druped form is plentiful in the hedges along 
with the common one, I am told 
Prunus domestica L.+ Native, or a hedge-row escape. es 
Bottesford ! 1864. Cadney! 1893 (F.A.L.). Other places, 
but I have made no notes, I find. 
Prunus avium L.t A doubtful native at best; but now sowing 
itself freely and growing in woods! and hedge-rows! N. and 5. 
VAR. HORTENSIS. Whether the sweet cherry of our gardens is only 
a variety of the above I am not ina position to. say. I have 
found it twice by the railroad side among the grass, presumably 
grown from fruit stones cast from the window of a_ passing 
train. N.—Hibaldstow! 21-4’93. S.—Wyberton! 27-4-94- 
In both cases the young plants bore traces of having been 
mown several times along with the surrounding herbage. In 
the former case a garden apple, Pyrus malus L. var. hortensis, a 
bushy tree three feet high, was close at hand ; and not a hundred 
yards away a garden strawberry, Fragaria elatior Ehrh. ‘These 
latter plants are gone this season, or I missed the spot in 
looking for them.
