 Q. glomerata^ L. Bab. 211. Meadows by the Thames : and in dry cbalky

Note. — July and August are given as the flowering-time of this plant, hut in the 

 meadows by the Thames, where it is very luxuriant, its (usually clustered) flowers appear 

 in May and June. In dry chalky places as on Keep Hill, its blossoms appear later ; they 

 are also smaller, and of a paler blue, and are usually in axillary clusters along the stem. 

 A dwarf form, having but one or two blossoms, also occurs. A very pretty white flowered 

 specimen was brought me from Keep Hill, by Mr. F. Wheeler, August 5, 1866.
