Mr. Watson regards this shrub as an alien. He says (Cyh. Brit. i. 385) 
that it is " not even a naturalized plant in England ; since, as far as hitherto 
shown, it grows only in places where it has been planted. The original 
locality of St. Michael's mount, Cornwall, has no semblance whatever of 
being a native habitat. The lilacs and laburnums of our gardens are more 
naturalized than is this Tamarix, for they do spring freely and spontaneously 
from seed, and thus would spread themselves over the land if not destroyed."

* The Eev. J, P. Jones, when on his botanical tour through Devon and 
Cornwall, saw it near the Lizard, but it appeared to him to have been 
planted. He also observed it at Falmouth and on St. Michael's mount, 
in which latter place it was growing in great abundance ; but he felt " con- 
fident " that in neither of the places was there a " single specimen quite 
wild" {Bot. Tour, 2nd ed., pp. 28-9). Dr. Maton on the contrary believed it 
to be wild on the Mount. 
t In his communication of the discovery of this plant to Journ. Bot. (iv. 
289), Mr. Briggs remarks that it grows " close to a wood, away from houses," 
* * * "but it could not have grown here before the line of railway was 
formed, about twenty years ago, as the hab. is below a 'cutting.' "
