1 With reference to the nativity of this species in Britain Mr. H. C.Watson 
remarks {Cyh.Brit. ii. 281) that " opinions are in conflict," and that " the 
weight of authority or of probability is in the adverse scale ; " adding that, 
among the several places in which it had been seen by himself, " only one 
had the appearance of being a natural habitat, and the limited extent of 
space occupied by the plants in the place in question (that is, in hedges by 
the road from Barnstaple to Bishopstawton, Devon) gave rise to a doubt even 
there." I cannot resist the belief that the plant is natural in our district. 
Dr. Bromfield too thought it " truly wild " in a situation in which he 
gathered it, a few miles from Plymouth {ih.) Mr. Bentham favours my view 
when he says of it {B.B.F. 327) " probably truly wild only [quoad Britain] 
in south-western England."
