FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 137 
6. Thame. Between Shotover and Wheatley, Hb. 7. Thurland ; do. 
see Phyt, iv. n. s. 101, H. Boswell; do. Hb. Br. Mus. 1859. In 
hedge by path from Cowley Marsh to Cowley Bog! H. E. 
Garnsey, M.A. 
7. Thames. Caversham, Newb. / 
Berks. Not unfrequent about Cotham, Marcham, and Frilford. 
The rarity of this plant in Oxfordshire is peculiar ; in Northamptonshire, 
north and east, it is frequent; its beautiful bright green and elegantly cut 
foliage adorning many of the village walls. Led by its general, rather 
than by its local distribution, Walker gave it as if it were one of our 
common plants, and so not needing special localities. It is in fact one of 
our rarest species.
