Berkley MS. in Watson’s Topi. Botany, ed. 1, 218, 1873. 
Probably somewhere near Holme Lode by Whittlesea 
Mere. 
53. Lincoln S. ? 
By the kindness of Miss M. Knowles of the Dublin Museum, 
I have seen a specimen with the following label : — 
“ Ex. herb. Lord de Tabley. 
Sonchus palnstris. 
Fens, Lincolnshire. A. Bloxam.” 
The Rev. A. Bloxam (1801-1878) was a good botanist, 
and sent a list of plants from S. Lincoln to Mr. Watson. 
From various sources I believe his visit was paid somewhere 
between 1855-1860, or 1852-1873. 
In South Lincoln Crowland Wash, or Elloe hundred in 
S. Holland would be likely places. Crowland Wash up to 
1845 must have been very wet. as the Black Tern was said 
to nest there just before.* 
54. Lincoln N. 
East Fen. A Young. I.c. 
There is no specimen in Sir J. Bank’s herb, at the Brit. 
Museum, and no other X. Lincoln sp. is known. f 
Gough in his ed. of Camden’s Brittania ii, 1789. says of 
the E. Fen : “ It is a vast tract of morass, intermixed with 
numbers of lakes, from half-a-mile to two, or three miles in 
circuit, communicating with each other by narrow reedy 
straits. They are very shallow, none above four or five 
feet deep, but abound with Pike, Perch, Ruffs, Bream, 
Tench, Dace, Eels, etc.”J Dugdale gives a list (60 names) 
and a map of these lakes. || 
Doubtful Counties. 
1 7. Surrey. 
J. S. Mill. “Croydon” Hooker, Brit. Flora, 1835, 346. 
Mill knew the plant, and it is just possible it may have
