And the old record "Found by G. Don in 1795 or 1796 by 

 the side of rivulet in marshy ground among the moun- 

 tains of Angusshire, but very rarely " (" English Botany," 

 t. 2174, 1816). 



The Arisaig specimen sent me is more slender in all its 

 parts, and has fewer flowers than the majority of the British 

 or Irish specimens. 



That there is some agency at work in this distribution is 

 shown by the same parcel containing from Arisaig specimens 

 of Euphorbia Cyparissias, L., and a Potcntilla, probably 

 P. norvegica, L., both of which have certainly no claim to be 

 considered native plants. 



Reference may be made for other notes and particulars 

 of the species to

{Note -The occurrence of this plant in 1894 on a piece 

 of made-up ground in Aberdeen, on which many foreign 

 plants, including several American species, have appeared, a 

 large number of them not having been observed before in 

 this district ("Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist," 1896, p. 239, and 

 1897, p. 28), supports Mr. Bennett's views as to its origin in 

 Britain, while it adds another county to the list J.W.H.T.]
