Excerpt from English Botany, or Coloured Figures of British Plants, With Their Essential Characters, Synonyms, and Places of Growth, Vol. 29: To Which Will Be Added, Occasional Remarks
WE add to our Flora another Hit/parietal: without. The least scmple. This species, erroneous y suspected by Linnaeus to be of American origin, is known by the authority of Sir George Wheler and of Professor Sibthorp to grow in woods about the village of Belgrad, near Constantinople. Our specimen was gathered by Mr. Drummond, curator of the new botanic gar en of Cork, and sent us by Mr. H inclts, se crets? To the Cork Institution. The plant grows in rest abun ance 3 miles from Cork in the way to Bandon, in t ose gentlemen's opinion, perfectly wild, nor, when we consider the climate and exposure, and how little Ireland has been scientifically examined, can we doubt it. We had hoped that Bauhin's Pyrenaean Ascymm magno are, Prod. 130, might prove the same; but a manuscript note of Linnmus, made on examining Burser's herbarium, asserts that to be his H. A: cyron, and not calycinum. Morison has figured our plant, sect. 5. T. 35. 9, but his description is a miserable mass of error.
