The Cowslip occurs in all the districts and is especially abundant on 
oolitic pastures. Magnificent specimens occurring near Lineham Camp. 
It is also fine on the chalk downs, particularly on the wood borders. The 
railside between Yarnton and Ascot affords a great show of them.

6. Thame. Between Cheney Lane and Shotover, Dillenius, also Br., 
1823. Bullingdon Green, Rev. E. Fox, also introduced from there 
in New College Garden, Rev. Newton Young in Walk. 
Berks. Wootton Heath, Boar’s Hill, Frilford. Its absence from Shot- 
over and Stow Wood is rather remarkable. The enclosure of 
Bullingdon Green has extirpated it, and it has also disappeared 
from Cheney Lane, its old station being on a dry bank just beyond 
where a small stream crosses east of the Warneford Asylum. 
Coronopus must be now classed as one of our rarest plants. The 
Berkshire side still yields it in fair quantity. Bucks, Gloster W., 
Warwick, Northants extinct or very rare.
