2 FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 
PULSATILLA. Mill. 
VP. vulgaris, Mill. Pasque flower. 
Anemone Pulsatilla, L. Top. Bot. 4. Syme, E. B. 1.9.9. Nym. 2. 
Native. Rare. Probably extinct. P. April-May. 
First record, ‘It groweth about Oxford, as my friend Falconer told me.’ 
Turner's Herball, 1551. 
5. Isis. Several parts of Cornbury Park, nr. Wychwood, Black- 
stone, 1746. Wychwood Forest, Burford Downs, A. pratensis. 
Sib, Fl. 
The place on Burford Downs is in the road between Burford and Ciren- 
cester, with Cineraria campestris and Astragalus. Dr. Lightfoot's MSS. 
In plenty on Burford Downs, in Oxon, by the relation of the Rev. Mr. 
Griffith, of Pemb. Coll. MSS. in Dill. Ray. in Hort. Ox., by Mr. Dickson. 
Upon the Cotteswolds, nr. Black Bourton very plentifully, Coles’ Adam 
in Eden. Lyneham Camp, 7. Bees. 
Berks. Unhil] and Yew Tree Downs, Compt. Hist. Tlsley Downs, 
H. Bos. Downs between Moulsford and Unwell Wood! 
In Northants it occurs on Barnack Quarries and in Gloster. 
Prof. Sibthorp referred our Oxford plant to 4. pratensis. See With. Br. 
Pl. ed. v. p. 612, but Blackstone’s specimens in Hort. Ox. are identical 
with A. Pulsatilla. 
The Burford locality is now brought under cultivation, and the plant is 
certainly extinct there. I have been unable to find it-in Cornbury Park, 
where it should still occur, as little change has taken place there during 
the last century ; from the quarries it has certainly disappeared. It is 
somewhat singularly absent from the northern grassy slopes of the Chalk 
downs. It may reward the searcher on the downs of Swincombe or 
Ewelme.
