Crop. . . circa Colcestriam." [Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.]

inventam in agris Colcestrensibus prope mare memorat
Parkinsonus . . . Ego unicam dumtaxat speciem in Anglia

Potamogeton pusillum gramineo folio maritimum, Sea-Pondweed, with grassie
leaves. This grows in the ditches of water in the salt-marshes, into which the

In the Historia vol. i., p. 190, no. 9, this is recorded from
