p. 13) :—"It seems to be later in flowering than R. rostellata,
which grew with it, as it was in flower while R. rostellata was in
seed."

This forms part of the first British record of the species,
Peter Dent having found it in Cambridgeshire, about the same
time.4 Morison's name in his Praeludia (1669) is only a
name.
