| notes: | 1. "With early June and autumn (hispid seedling).... H.S.T. Probably native there" 2. Autumnal seedling leaves, hispid, irregular in shape and size, and darker in colour, August 28. Abundent and probably native in the Chew Valley, as suggested by J W White in his Flora of Bristol, - H>S> Thompson. Might not this be var. sylvestris Wats.? See Flora of Surrey, 1931, 139-140. --E. C. Wallace. I think Mr Wallace may be right, though Mr Fraser's note says "Seems to differ from the Turnip (sylvestris) of the Thames Vlley in the lack of a tuberous root. The slender-rooted form is admitted in the French floras." H.S.T. " |
