affect are equally curious, and form a great charm in 

 tempting the exploring foot of botanical research. 

 It may be said in general that some plants are found 

 in woods, some on precipices, and others in bogs but 

 where are these woods, precipices, and bogs ? they 

 must be sought and explored, for the same plants are 

 not universally diffused alike, but have their particular 

 partialities to places and aspects adapted to their 

 growth, where only they fix their abode or extend 

 themselves from. 



In glancing at the vegetation of England we per- 

 ceive species that affect only northern stations, as 

 Twisted-podded Whitlow Grass (Draba incana), Wood 

 Stichwort (Stellaria nemorum), Bird Cherry (Primus 

 Paclus), White Mountain Avens (Dry as octopetala) , 

 Northern G-alium (G. Boreale), Bird's-eye Primrose 

 (Primula farinosa), Alpine Bistort (Polygonum vivi- 

 pary/ni), &c. Others are more peculiarly allocated in 

 the West, as the Mona Cabbage (Brassica Monensis), 

 Sea Mallow (Lavatera arbor ea), Wood Bitter Vetch 

 (Vicia Orobus), Wild Madder (Rubia peregrina), Tel- 

 low viscid Bartsia (JB. viscosa), &c. A few are confined 

 to spots in central England that seem most congenial 

 to their growth, amongst which are the Horse-shoe 

 Vetch (Hippocrepis comosci), Crimson Grass Vetch 

 (Latliyrus Nissolicf), Hyssop-leaved Loosetrife (Ly- 

 tlira liyssopifoliuni), Great Hartwort (Tordylium max- 

 imwn), and Downy Woundwort (Stacliys Germanica) . 

 Among the species on our southern coasts and not 

 disposed to progress further, may be noticed the 

 Linear-leaved St. John's Wort (Hypericum linari- 

 folium), Yellow Wood Sorrel (Oxalis corniculata) , 

 several Trefoils and Vetches, Sand Strap wort (Cori-
