Note 248 — {41} Fifthly, Of Plants.

Field-mallow (Gerard, p. 930), Malva sylvestris, L., and wild dwarf-mallow (ibid.), M. rotundifolia, L., are the only sorts likely to have been in view. The latter was, I doubt not, intended; and the former, adventive only with us, may also have occurred at any period after the settlement.
