470 PEUCEDANUM PALUSTRE AND LATHYRUS PALUSTRIS IN BRITAIN. 
Peucedanum must have abounded, as he speaks of the Swallow- 
tailed Butterfly ( Papilio machaon) “might then be had to any 
amount ” and its principal food-plant would be there also. The 
Butterfly there, as with the Large-Copper, is a thing of the past. 
Mr. Fryer writes that he gathered it in “ the bog in Holme Fen, 
Hunts, on September 17th, 1891, I think it was there some four or 
five years ago.” 
Lincoln S. Co., 53. 
Lees’ Out. FI. of Lin. in White’s Directory, 14, 1892. 
“ There is no record for S. Lincoln, but I have no doubt P. palustre 
was about Bourne and the Deepings in say 1800.” A. Woodruffe- 
Feacock 14, 8, 1902. From the history of the land and old maps 
I have no doubt Mr. Peacock is right, in one of 1824, very wetland 
is shown from Bourne to Cowbit, south to Deeping and Gedney. 
Mr. H. C. Watson in Top. Botany gives S. and N. Lincoln, he seems 
to have been under the mistaken idea that the East Fen was in his 
Y.C. of S. Lincoln, which certainly is not so. He makes the same 
mistake under Senecio paludosus and palustris ; as Banks stations 
were certainly in N. Lincoln. 
Lincoln N. Co., 54. 
In the East Fen in vast plenty, about the only umbelliferous 
plant that grows in the immense common meadows there. Sir J. 
Banks’ Bot. Guide, 387, 1805. Long since extinct. 
Sandtoft, 1879. Laughton Common, 1878. Kev. W. Fowler, 
Woodruffe-Peacock, ‘Naturalist,’ 341, 1894. In both places now 
(1902) verging on extinction. As it occurs near Wroot on the 
York side of the Toune Dyke (Lees’ W. York, 260, 1888), it may 
occur on the Lincoln side as Wroot itself is in that County. 
Nottingham Co., 56? 
By the side of a small stream between Mansfield Wood House 
and Park Hill. New Bot. Guide, Supp., 644, 1837. No recent 
record. 
It is probable the plant existed in the extreme N. of the County, 
in the area between Gringly, Misterton, and Finningley, as it 
did (or does?) exist in the adjacent parts of York and Lincoln. 
“I have no doubt it was in all three twenty -five years ago.” Peacock 
in litt. 
York S.E. Co., 61. 
Beverley, 1796. Col. Machell in herb., Dalton. 
York Phil. Society.
