or most general tj^e. Its former existence in Orkney, 

 testified by Dr. Neill, — and where it lias become extinct 

 simply tbrougb drainage, according to Dr. Gillies, — seems 

 to warrant its reference to the general t}-pe, notwithstand- 

 ing its present more restricted area, and earlier northern 

 Hmit. Some few locahties in Forfarshire and Moray are 

 all that I am aware of northward of the Forth, miless 

 Fife is also to be added as another comaty for it, as sug- 

 gested mider T. angustifolia.

Native. Paludal. I have seen no Scottish specimen of 

 this species. In Hooker's Flora Scotica, it is said to oc- 

 cm- abundantly in the Loch of Lindore, Fife, on the au- 

 thority of Mr. D. Don ; whence, it may be presumed, that 

 T. angustifolia oi- T. latifolia does gi'ow there. The 

 present species is also said to grow in Loch-maben, Dum- 

 fries (Mr. Gray, Mr. Cruickshank, Mr. G. Lloyd), and in 

 the Manse loch, Colvend, Kirkcudbright (Mr. Peter Gra}-). 

 As Loch-maben is slightly above the latitudinal parallel 

 of 55, the Hmit of the species is carried up to 56, the first 

 line northward of its most northerly (admitted) locality, 

 in accordance with the rule of avoiding fractions of a de- 

 gree in giving the latitudinal ranges of plants.
