Mr. W INCH 's Flora of Northumberland, &c. On the ballast-hills of Tyne and Wear, N. and D. In a clover field near the Lough on Holy Island, N.; probably introduced from the Continent. In corn fields at Norton. — J. Hogg, Esq. In a limestone quarry near Bishopwearmouth, D. — Mr. Backhouse.

Not truly indigenous in the north of England, nor mentioned in the Flora Scotica by Hooker.

1. A. vulgaris. Common Columbine.
Sm. Eng. Fl. iii. 33; Eng. Bot. 297; With. iii. 657; Gr. Fl. Eds. 121; A. alpina, Hudson, 235.

By the Ousebourn in Heaton Dene (probably the outcast of a garden), and on the banks of the river Derwent near Allans ford, N.

In Hesledon Dene and in Portrack Lane, half way to Norton, D. — John Hogg, Esq.

So truly distinct did the Columbine, in its wild state, appear to Hudson from the cultivated variety that he mistook it for Aquilegia alpina of Linnaeus. His Aquilegia vulgaris, I suspect, must have been intended for the garden plant which is not rare in the south of England, but generally found in the vicinity of cottages.
