Norfolk. N.—Hatton, 1890; Mrs. Jarvis. S,—Thurlby and 
Bourn Woods, 1838; Rev. J. Dodsworth.

Pyrus bivbocttta L.f (i.e., BP. pinnatifida ri ). A bird-sown escape 
rom ornamental woods and garden N.—Bottesford, 1893. 
There are plenty of young trees shoe in the ‘woods, and the

Pyrus malus L.t Native. Aggregate common N. and §, 
Var. acerba DC.f Common N. and S, 
Var. mitis Wallrt N.—3. S.—2. 
I believe P. acerba is constantly crossed by the bees with 
garden apples—/. hortensis—the variety mitis being the result. 
. The specimens found in or very near our villages being always 
this variety as far as my experience goes. But P. acerba grow- 
ing in the open is also a variable variety to a less extent. I have 
found the garden apple, P. Aortensis, N.—Hibaldstow, on the 
railway embankment, far enough away from any garden, just 
where seed might have lodged cast from a passing train. 
Crategus Oxyacantha L.t Native, but generally planted, as it 
is not a ‘free seeder’; but I find it is self-sown more frequently 
than is generally sietpoved:

Earliest flowering variety.
