56 ADDITIONS TO THE FLOEA OF BER-WICK-TJPON-TWEDD. 



Pyrola secuitoa — Serrated Winter-green. On Yevering Boll, Nor- 

 thumberland, sparingly, Dr Jolinston and Rev. J. Baird. . This pretty- 

 plant is not uncommon in fir woods in the Highlands of Scotland, but 

 it has always been considered one of the rarest of English plants, and 

 this is its first and only habitat in Northumberland. Wallis, indeed, 

 says, that the "small winter-green, with roundish serrate leaves," 

 grows plentifully on the borders of Ramshaw Wood ; but Mr Winch 

 tells us that he has sought for it there in vain ; and after examining 

 Wallis's description, we entertain no doubt whatever that his species 

 is really Pyrola minor, a plant that had not been accurately character- 

 ised when the History of Northumberland was published.
