398 FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 
and Cotyledon was probably not native; the three others are local or 
doubtful. 
Their place of growth is thus classified :— 
Pratal and Pascual 123, Ericetal 38, Glareal 43, Uliginal and Inundatal 
50, Paludal and Lacustral 134, Viatical 70, Agrestal 97, Rupestral 27, 
Septal 86, Sylvestral 120. 
Mr. H. Boswell’s list of Additions to the Flora of Oxfordshire com- 
municated to the Phytologist in 1860, p. 99, next commands attention, 
although this was actually made prior to Alfred French’s work. Mr. 
Boswell’s name will be found to occur frequently in the Flora, his list of 
Oxon plants made 1856-1876 being very valuable. Since that time he has 
paid special attention to Bryology. His very complete list of our county 
mosses will be found in the Appendix. In Phanerogams Mr. Boswell 
added Vicia lathyroides, Corydalis claviculata, Agrimonia odorata, 
Mentha cardiaca, Sonchus asper, Scirpus multicaulis, Carex axillaris, 
C. fulea (Hornschuchiana), Aspidium angulare, Medicago sativu, Poly- 
gonatum multifiorum, Orchis incarnata, ete. Papers on Mosses by 
Mr. Boswell will be found in Phyt. .s. 1860, pp. 344, 369, 1861, p. 262; 
Jour. Bot. 1872, p. 363, 1885, p. 3. 
In 1871, Mr. W. T. Thistleton Dyer contributed an article on Oxford- 
shire Plants to the Journal of Botany, p. 145, which added Ranunculus 
penicillatus, R. Drouetit, Caltha Guerangerii, Draba brachycarpa and 
Geum intermedium to our list. 
In 1873, Mr. Watson published the first volume of Topographical 
Botany or records of plant distribution through the British Isles. For 
Oxfordshire Beesley’s Banbury List formed the basis, the records without 
personal vouchers being taken from Sibthorp and Walker. It appears 
likely that Mr. Watson never botanized in Oxford. In Top. Bot. Potamo- 
geton obtusifolius and Osmunda regalis are included in error, there being 
no authority for their occurrence. The plant recorded as P. heterophyllus 
is not that species, and should be omitted or queried. Orobanche major 
and Polypodium Dryopteris should be omitted, our plants being Orohanche 
elatior and P. calcareum. Typha angustifolia is put in on faith of a 
Warwickshire locality, but it is + native of Oxford. Carex lerigata is 
probably erroneous. Narcissus Pseudo Narcissus, Carpinus, Helleborus 
viridis and fatidus are ‘ branded’ or ‘ bracketed.’ These should be put as 
native plants. To Vinca minor a star might be attached, and Mercurialis 
annua is certainly alien. 
Among more recent workers may be mentioned Revs. R. F. and FE. F. 
Linton, M.A., H. E. Fox, M.A., E. Fox, M.A., W. Newbould, M.A., 
F. Bennett, M.A., F. Smith, E. Marshall, J. Barnes, W. Moyle Rogers, 
M.A., A. Robertson, M.A., B. D’Oyley Aplin; Messrs. F. T. Richards, 
M.A., Bolton King, B.A., and H. E. Garnsey, M.A., have added much to 
our county flora. Mr. King in his short sojourn in Oxford added several 
plants to our list. W. Mathews, M.A., F, Westcombe, E. Walford,
