Lonicéra Caprifolium, Linn. 
Provinces 12845-7-910-12 1814. 
Alien. Cyb. ii. 10. iii. 448. Frequently planted; and stated to 
have become well established in Cambridgeshire. 
Lonicera Xylosteum, Linn. 
Provinces 128-5 6-89101112-1415. Wild in Sussex? 
Alien? Cyb. ii. 10. iii. 448. “In a coppice called the ‘ Hacketts,’ 
to the east of Hough Bridge, four miles from Arundel, plentiful 
and certainly wild”; Mr. Borrer in B. G. 1805. At that date, 
Mr. Borrer was a young botanist; at a later age, experience had 
made him much less ready in declaring garden shrubs “ certainly 
wild.” Besides, “wild” is an ambiguous term. A plant may 
have become certainly wild, although originally introduced by 
human agency; ew. gr. the Udora canadensis and Impatiens fulva ; 
which are now wild, although not natives aboriginally. 
Lonicera alpigena, Linn.

Alien. I am not aware of any alleged locality; and thus include 
the shrub here only because enumerated in English Botany, as 
cited. It belongs to a small group of shrubs which are often 
planted for ornament, and which keep the ground by their 
creeping roots; such as the Diervilla above mentioned, the 
Hypericum hircinum, Spirea salicifolia, ete. 
Al. Rupiaces. 
Galium (verum) ochroleucum, “ Wolf.” 
Provinces 1 28. G. elato-verum, Eng. bot. iv. 214. 
Hybrid? Cornwall and Devon; A. Briggs! Sussex. Kent. 
Galium cinereum, Sm. G. diffusum, Don. Hook. 
Provinces - 14 15. Edinburgh and Forfar; G. Don. 
‘Ambiguity. See Eng. Bot. iv. 216. Eng. Flo. i. 208. 
Galium (palustre) Witheringii, Sm. 
Provinces all? <“ Rather rare ;” Eng. bot. iv. 222. 
Syn. 515. Cyb.ii. 14. It would seem that authors and collectors 
apply the name ‘ Witheringii’ differently. If it be understood 
simply to mean G. palustre with the stem hispid, not smooth, 
then it represents a plant not at all rare, I think.
