nant, which is on the traveller’s left as he passes from Beddgelert 
to Pen-y-Gwryd. ‘The scenery in this vale can scarcely be ex- 
ceeded. Grander scenes there are many, even in Britain; but 
this charming valley unites grandeur with loveliness. The moun- 
tains of Merionethshire, which separate this vale from the vale 
of Ffestiniog, are the southern boundary, and the extended spurs 
and frowning buttresses of Snowdon bound it on the north. 
The bottom and sides on the Beddgelert end are well wooded, 
and between the two. little lakes there are two or three most 
picturesquely situated and very comfortable-looking cottages ; 
besides these there ‘is no house between Beddgelert and Pen-y- 
Gwryd, which we reached between eight and nine o’clock, ready 
for breakfast. The only interesting plant noticed was Parnassia 
palustris, not so common in the parts of Wales where we jour- 
neyed as we had expected. — - 
On the Wimbledon Station of Anemone apennina. 
We beg our correspondents to inform us if they have ever met 
with the above-mentioned plant in any other station than a gar- 
den or in a place where it was certainly planted. It is well 
naturalized in the gardens of Wimbledon Park, and under the 
trees in the shrubberies, but we have never seen it in woods at 
Wimbledon. As the woods are extensive, it may be found in 
them; but is it so? We visited Wimbledon on the 19th of 
April last, and saw the plant growing vigorously and in pro- 
fusion, accompanied with immense patches of Hranthis hiemals, 
which we have seen in Lincolnshire, on a site 
“Where once the garden smiled, 
And still, where many a garden flower grows wild.” 
Under the shade of the same trees which protect the Blue Ane- 
mone, grow also Tulipa sylvestris, one plant of which only was 
seen in flower, also Ornithogalum nutans and Symphytum tubero- 
sum; the latter, it is believed, never found in the south of Eng- 
land, except where it has been planted. The natural production 
or non-production of a plant or plants in any country or locality 
is a fact, not an opinion. But where a plant is found associated 
with exotic or distant plants, that plant, whatever may be its 
antecedents, is Justly to be regarded as a species introduced with
