Lincolnshire and the Danes.
Entertained a theory of how Cambridge Milk-parsley (Selinum carvifolia) was introduced to Britain:
|
"Another plant of Northern Europe (also, like angelica, of the umbelliferous order), has been found in Lincolnshire, at Broughton, not far from the river Ancholme. This plant, Selina carvifolia, is closely allied to the genus angelica, and is found over a large area on the Continent, ranging from Russia to Denmark and from South Finland to Central France, but hitherto unknown in Great Britain. This interesting discovery was made by Rev. W. Fowler, who has done so much for the botany of Lincolnshire. It has been pronounced by competent authority as most likely indigenous, but the situation in which it was found suggests at least the possibility of its introduction from the Continent and if so, who are more likely to have brought it than the Danish pirates, who threaded their way into this part of England by every navigable stream?" |
