38. UMBELLIFERZ. 519 
Trinia Kitaibelii, Bieb. 
Province 1. Uphill, Somerset; Joseph Woods. 
Error. English Botany, ed. 8, iv. 179. 
Helosciadium (nodiflorum) repens, Koch. 
Provinces -- 384-14. Suffolk; Paget! Hadd. Edin. 
Syn. 454. Cyb.i. 431. By name this plant is reported from the 
first 14 provinces, and from two-thirds of their included counties. 
The only specimens I have seen which truly accord with the book 
characters of “umbellis pedunculo brevioribus” are from Mid- 
dlesex, Suffolk, and Edinburgh; all others seen so labelled being 
simply prostrate or creeping states of nodiflorum. The figure in 
English Botany, no. 143], repeated in the third edition, is the 
pseudo-repens of the London Catalogue, the variety with short 
peduncles. The two varieties pass gradually into each other; two 
of my examples even having long and short peduncles on the same 
plant. 
Ammi majus, Linn. 
Provinces -- 3-5. Surrey. Middlesex. Gloucester. 
Casual. Journal of Botany, January, 1865; where it required 
thirty-two lines of close print,—say, near 400 words,—to record 
Dr. St. Brody’s remarkable discovery of some chance examples of 
this foreign plant near Gloucester. How many volumes would be 
filled in doing the like with every chance locality of every foreign 
plant so found anywhere in England? In the Flora of Middlesex 
it took a line and half for the record of a similar locality for the 
same imported plant. Both this and Ammi Visnaga are enumerated 
in the list of foreign plants introduced into Surrey among corn 
imported for a Distillery. 
Carum Carui, Linn. 
Provinces - 8-10-12. Asa Casual in several others. 
Alien or Denizen. It seems desirable to make a printed record 
here from a manuscript note about this plant which was communi- 
cated to me by letter from Mr. Thomas Kirk :—‘JI have picked 
the Carui on the banks of the L. & N. W. Railway at various 
spots between Hampton and Brandon, a length of 14 or 15 miles. 
Curiously enough, a policeman at Hampton informed me that he 
recollected a package of Caraway seeds being injured whilst on a 
truck, and he supposed the seeds would be scattered ‘all the way 
up the line.’ It is sufficiently plentiful at Hampton to be collected 
by the porters and others for culinary purposes.” Compare this 
account with Teesdale’s record quoted in ‘ Cybele Britannica’ and 
‘The Botanist’s Guide.’ 
Bupleurum protractum, Link.
