Still there in 1884. First found by W. Baxter in hedge-bank in Long 
Meadow, between Oxford and Iffley, 1815, and recorded as L. rugosum 
Ait., and on the side of the wall round Christ Church Meadow. This 
has undoubtedly escaped from the Physic Garden, where it has become 
a weed, and where it was first cultivated in 1766. It has established itself 
in the little island between Christ Church Walk and Long Meadow, and 
is now, April 23, 1851, in full flower, covering the greater part of the 
island, Br. MSS. See also Walk. Fl., Appendia.
