THE STATUS OF SOME BRITANNIC PLANTS 209 
France or EDetaee I have even met with it on the banks of remote 
Highland stream 
"Sisym mbrium Sop hia L. This has every of being truly 
wild on some of our coasts, and may be equally so inland in Kast 
n 
ia. 
Viola tricolor L. Common in the Scottish Highlands by re 
on rough banks, &c.; often associated with V. lutea Huds., 
equally above suspicion. 
Cerastium arvense L. On chalk-downs in Kent, Wilts, &c., this 
occurs in the unbroken turf, well away from agriculture; which 
would seem to be also the case in West Irelan d. 
lene conica L. Native inland in West Suffolk; doubtless 
also elsewhere in the eastern counties, wie I have. botanized 
but little. 
S. italica Pers. The Kent coast plant which I had referred to 
this species turns out to be S. dubia a I consider it quite 
Malva rotundifolia L. Iam glad - “find that Mr. Riddelsdell 
concurs in the opinion which I formed (after much deliberation) 
that this is indigenous near the sea, if notelsewhere. M. sylvestris 
et perhaps, still stronger claims to native rank, at least in the 
uth. 
Geranium pusillum L. By no means confined to ‘ hedges and 
waste and cultivated ground.” I have found it in rocky pastures 
a 
G. pyrenaicum, again, is not ‘only known on hedge-banks and 
field-borders.” Rey. R. P. Murray (&. ea. p. 67) says: ‘It 
is almost impossible to resist the conclusion that this species is a 
true native in district 10.” But I am not fully convinced o 
title to rank as such. 
Coronilla varia Li. The acceptance of this by Mr. Dun 
true native in Kent is surprising. Of course it may quite e possibly 
be so, but the species is handsome enough to be planied = orn 
ment, and has several times occurred as an alien. It was saan 
as an introduction in Fl. Kent, and I think rightly (see Fl. Pathan 
p. 94, me a parallel case). 
icago minima L. Certainly native on the coast from Eas 
Seema - Norfolk, as well as inland in West Suffolk, and probably 
oy 
Trifolium stellatum L. Twenty years ago this grew in moon 
quantity at Shoreham, and most likely it is still to be found 
r. Dunn writes of it in the past tense). A rare instance of a 
Laliast-htial wc aE permanent. 
Vicia lutea L. On bushy cliffs (South Devon!), as well as 
shingly sea- “cng ; inland in Dorset (Murray). Quite above 
suspicion. 
Prunus insititia L. I think that this is more than a naturalized 
species so well and evenly distributed, at least over the 
southern soaliees But here is one of those cases where certainty 
seems unattaina :
