Native. Pascual. In many ijublished floras and cata- 

 logues, and in my own earlier manuscript notes, equally 

 as in many of those communicated to me by other botanists, 

 no distinction is made between L. campestris and congesta 

 or multiflora. This cii'cumstance must unavoidably throw 

 some degree of uncertainty on the distribution of L. cam- 

 pestris, as above shown ; the more especially as L. con- 

 gesta is perhaps the more frequent species in the northern 

 counties. L. campestris grows on the summit of Carnedd 

 David, in Caernarvonshire, nearly 1100 j^ards above the 

 sea, and perhaps strictly within the superarctic zone ; and 

 probably it ascends into the same zone on the Breadal- 

 bane mountains, in Perthshire. Omitted from the Flora 

 of Shetland, as is also L. congesta ; but it was included 

 in Edmondston's List of Shetland plants, published in 

 the Annals of Natural History ; so that its omission from 

 the Flora of Shetland, by the same author, may have 

 been an madvertence, similar to that which caused the 

 omission of Rumex Acetosa and R. Acetosella fi-om the 

 same work.
