LINUM, sp. 
Roman Period :— 
Silchester, Hampshire. 
Neolithic:—

Capsules and seeds of flax are so common at Redhall 
as to suggest that bundles of the plant were steeped there. 
Flax is known to have been cultivated in Neolithic times.

No species of Geranium has yet been found fossil in 
Britain, with the doubtful exception of a seed from Ends- 
leigh St., London.
