Native. Sylvestral. Very local. My specimens are

 It grows also in a small wood, at the back of Charlton 

 church, in Kent, according to Mr. Curtis (B. G.) and the 

 Eev. Dr. Goodenough (E. F.). According to Flora Devo- 

 niensis, it is frequent in shady woods and hedges in that 

 county; but has any other botanist since found C. depau- 

 perata in the county of Devon ? Don pretended that he 

 found it in woods near Forfar. And on faith of the Flora 

 Glottiana, it occurs in a small wood near Bahie, Dum- 

 bartonshire. On these unsupported testimonies it would 

 seem better not to admit provinces 1, 15, 16, into the real 

 area of a species otherwise so far distant from them, and 

 so particularly local.
