Braford Water, on the division line between North and South 
Lincoln. 
There is a specimen in the County Herbarium at Lincoln 
from the collection of Mr. J. Bogg, not dated or localised * 
The reference to Mr. C. Forster’s search in Lincoln should 
have been given, i.e., Watson, Cy 6, Brit. iii. (1852), p. 461. 
The following so-called English names are additional to 
those I gave 
Marsh Fleabane, Ray in Camden’s Brit., 1695. Bird’s- 
tongue, Groundsel, Withing, An. Brit. PL, Ed. 7, iii. (1830), 
p. 939. 
The first record is “ Conyza palustris. In many places about 
the fens, as by a great ditch near Streatham Ferry.” Ray. 
Cat. PL, c. Camb. (1660), p. 37. 
In the Transactions, Vol. VI. (1899), p. 459, “ Hare Booth ” 
belongs to North Lincoln, not to South. Walrorth in his 
Sch. Crit. (1822), 483, seems to regard the Eng. Botany, 
figure t. 650 (Ed. 3, t. 758) as rather to represent his S. 
riparius = S. bohemicus , Tansch, but the difference between a 
glabrous and tomentose plant is (here, anyhow) hardly enough 
to constitute a species. 
As to the last time S. paludosus was gathered in England, 
about the year 1879, Mrs. F. J. Hanbury made a coloured 
drawing of the plant. This I took to Soham and showed to 
a Mr. Wilton, who collected insects in Wicken Fen. Some- 
where about 1880-81, Mr. Wilton and a friend found the 
plant in the Fen, and a specimen was taken by this friend to 
the North of England. In 1883 he wrote me that he brought 
to Croydon two roots, and could not find me, supposing I was 
a elergyman. These he took to the Crystal Palace and gave 
to one of the gardeners, but I failed to trace them. Thus 
circa 1879 seems to have been the last of the species. I had 
asked him not to take roots, but only cut a stem or two, as 
the plant is a perennial. But I am inclined to think it may
