THE STATUS OF SOME BRITANNIC PLANTS. 
By Rev. E. 8. Marsnatt, M.A., F.L.S. 
Tae following remarks are ae to supplement Rey. 
H. J. Riddelsdeli’s able review (pp. 188-142) of my friend Mr. 
8. T. Dunn’s Alien Flora of Britain. o This was written under 
exceptional difficulties, and does great credit to its peas had he 
re ed in England, and been able to consult local botanists more 
fully, no doubt the result would have been still more valuable. He 
has, at any rate, given us a good basis to work upon. 
reading through the Phytologist (New Series) one sees on 
what slender grounds some alien species were at one time con- 
fidently claimed as natives of this country—e. g., Arenaria balearica 
and Aremonia agrimonioides. H. C. Watson rightly set his face 
a st such assertions ; but it is now pretty generally admitted 
that he far in the other direction, and in: 
sundry plants which are hardl n to suspicion. In s 
y open e case 
it is almost impossible to arrive at certainty, and ied qeoven 
will be the soundest verdict. 
One at erly hinges on the use of the expression ‘‘ waste 
places.” Mr. Dunn has, I believe, understood this in an unusually 
eetssies, sense ; most of us would probably include under it not
