 at Cropston in 1894, when it was noticed by the Rev. T. A. 

 Preston. It is now quite naturalized on the margin of the 

 reservoir and has increased in luxuriance. Probably introduced 

 here by water fowl. See B.E.C. reports, 1894, p. 451, and 

 1895, p. 485.— T. A. Preston and A. B. Jackson.

 A. B. Jackson. Correct. Usually, as in this case, in waste
