Field near Church! Mrs. Taunton, 1882. Finstock near Wych- 
wood. Furzy brake near Holy Court, 1885. This latter is probably 
Dillenius’ locality. Oxford as a habitat for Salvia pratensis is 
referred to in all the Botanical Manuals and Guides. French, in 
Journ. Bot. 1875, vol. xiii. p. 293, showed clearly its claims to be 
considered a native plant. In Oxford it is found in old grass-fields, 
as it is on the continent; at one time it probably extended over the 
oolitic tract of the county. It has been noticed with white flowers 
at Ardley.
