Native. Paludal, Sylvestral. Not a common plant in 

 England, and perhaps more plentiful in Scotland. It is, 

 however, sujB&ciently frequent in Britain to give some pro- 

 bability that a comital estimate of 75 might not have ex- 

 ceeded the truth ; although as yet the species has been 

 recorded from scarcely more than 50 comities. Included 

 in the Faroe list ; but apparently not hitherto found in 

 our own North Isles.
