Remarks
Etymology: It was introduced to this country in 1837 by Mr. Knight, of the King's Road, Chelsea, who has raised several young plants, and designated it by the name of Taxus Harringtonia, in compliment to the Earl of Harrington, who is devotedly attached to this tribe of plants, and who has formed extensive avenues, and various objects, with this yew at Elvaston Castle.
