PYROLA SECUNDA, LINN. 107 



Ray, I.e., is supposed to have recorded it from Yorkshire, 

 at Haslevvood ; but Dr. Lees 1 considers that his record 

 applied to P. minor, L., which (at present anyhow) alone 

 occurs there. 



The records of distribution of this species have been con- 

 siderably extended of late years, and in a direction not 

 looked for. Mr. Bentham in his "Flora" of 1858 remarks: 

 " Generally more northern or more alpine, being rarely 

 found in central or southern Europe out of the higher 

 mountain-ranges." And Watson - places it in his " High- 

 land type " ; but later 3 he refers it to his " Scottish type." 

 Up to the year 1878 its most southern station in England 

 was Cautley Crags on Howgill Fells, near Sedburgh, in 

 N.-W. Yorkshire; but in June, 1876, it was found by the 

 Rev. A. Ley (sp.\ on limestone, in woods on the Wynd- 

 cliff, Monmouth, growing with P. minor, Convallaria niajalis, 

 Polygonatiun officinalc, Sednni rupestre, Pyrus Aria, and 

 P. rotnndifolia, Cornus sanguinca, etc. 



In 1892 Dr. Trow (.r/.) gathered it on Craig-y-Llyn, 

 above Llyn Faur, Glamorgan ; and it was found in another 

 place above Llyn Fach, in 1905, by Messrs. Salter and 

 Trow. 



In April and July, 1906, it was found by Mr. H. H. 

 Knight (.$/>.) on Fan Nedd, about 1750 ft. alt. in Brecon. 

 In Glamorgan it occurred at about 1600 ft. alt. 



These three stations bring the species some 200 miles 

 south of the Yorkshire one, the Glamorgan and Monmouth 

 stations being nearly on the same parallel. 



There is a station at High-Cup-Nick, 4 near Appleby, in 

 Westmoreland, not recorded for that county either in " Top. 

 Bot." or its Supplement. 



In Yorkshire it occurs at 2000-2200 ft. alt. (Lees, l.c.} ; 

 in Scotland, from " sea level in Moray," Dr. G. Gordon, up 

 to 2000 ft. in Atholl, Perth. 5 Its most northern station in 

 Scotland is " Beinn-a-Bhragie, 1256 ft. alt., in V.C. 107,
