The only localities at present ascertained for this rare plant in 

 Wilts. It has not, I believe been observed of late years in either 

 station. 



Torilis, (Adans.) Hedge- Parsley. 

 Linn. CI. v. Ord. ii. 

 Name. A name of very doubtful meaning, used by Adanson (a 

 French botanist), and maintained by others. Smith suggests from 

 toreuo, to carve or emboss, in allusion to the seed, which is covered

1. S. Anthriscus (Gaert.) upright Hedge-Parsley. Caucalis 

 Huds. Engl. Bot. t. 987. 



Locality. In hedges, banks, by road-sides, and on the borders

 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In all the Districts. Fruit small, egg-shaped, faintly 

 tinged with purple, very rough, with incurved bristles placed in 

 rows, between which are dark green rather prominent ribs. The 

 upright stem and compound umbels of this species, will distinguish 

 it from Torilis nodosa, and the general involucrum of more than two 

 leaves, from T. infesta, the latter species is chiefly found among corn, 

 never in hedges. T. Anthriscus seldom any- where but in hedges,

2. T. infesta (Spr.) troublesome or spreading Hedge-Parsley. A 

 name sufficiently explicit. Caucalis (Curt.) Engl. Bot. t. 1314. 



Locality. In waste and cultivated ground, especially amongst 

 corn. A. El. July, August. Fr. September, October. Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 

 Generally distributed. Not unfrequently mistaken for the last 

 species ; well distinguished by the fruit, being rough, with spreading
