| notes: | typed note ------------------------------------- G. sylvestre. Poll., var. nitidulum (Thuill.). Between Tring and Wendover, Bucks; a new county record; June 1898. --G.C.DRUCE. "This plant occurred in abundance over a considerable area of a large, grassy chalk down with a southern exposure, and was associated with the foregoing. I see no reason to doubt that in this locality the plant may be native. This is not typical G. sylvestre, but i believe G. nitidulum, Thuillier, 'FL. Par.,' ed. 2, p. 76 and is a well-marked variety, if not specifically dstinct from the G.sylvestre of Ben Laoigh, etc. The occurrence of this Galium on the eastern chilterns supports its claim to be considered native in Berkshire, where my lamented friend Mr. F. Tufnail discovered it, but which, from Euphorbia Cyparissias being in the vicinity, I felt was not altogether beyond suspicion of having been accidentally introduced."--G.C.D. "This is doubtless what we call sylvestre; but has not the name nitdulum been denied to our plant?"--Ar.Bennett. ---------------------------- |
