native Country of Hypericum calycinum. 269 
It seems therefore that H. calycinum, though so commonly cul- 
tivated in the" English gardens and shrubberies, to which Sir 
George Wheeler introduced it in 1676, has not been found wild 
in any other part of the world than at Belgrad near Constanti- 
nople, and between Cork and Bandon in Ireland; two situations, 
though remote from each other, and differing about ten degrees 
in latitude, not unlike with respect to their exposure. We know 
moreover, by daily experience, that the plant under considera- 
tion is able to bear a much colder climate than either. In con- 
sequence of the above discovery, the Hypericum calycinum will 
make the first plate in the 29th volume of English Botany.
