Wise, John R. (John Richard)
New Forest (England : Forest)
Gladiolus Illyricus, Koch. First discovered in the Forest by the Rev. W.
H. Lucas. (_See Phytologist_, Sept., 1857.) Road from Boldrewood to
Lyndhurst; path from Liney Hill Wood to Rhinefield; Oakley Plantation,
near Boldrewood; and the neighbourhood of the Knyghtwood Oak, where Mr.
Rake and myself saw it in great abundance, July 11, 1862. In all these
localities it is confined to the light sand, growing especially amongst
the common brake, and seldom, if ever, extends into the heather, which
grows close round. On some specimens which I forwarded, Mr. Watson
observes, in speaking of the distinction between _Gladiolus imbricatus_
and _Illyricus_:—“The New Forest plant has the obovate capsules, hardly
so much keeled, however, as described by French botanists, unless the
keel becomes sharper with advancing age.”
