THE NEW GREENWOOD [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR S

I was greatly interested in reading the " The New Greenwood," by E. M. N. I had got it into my mind that the Greenwood referred to in Robin Hood was the Holly, which I presume is a native, and would be glad to know if I am correct

in this surmise.—I am, Sir, &c., BOTANIST. Belfast.
