Native. Pascual. Apjoarently scarce in Scotland. 

 Enumerated among the plants of Orkney in Lowe's list ; 

 but not seen there by other botanists. Proceeding south- 

 wards, the next mention of the species occurs in the 

 Moray Flora, as being found on " Westerton lawn, cer- 

 tainly introduced." Professor G. Dickie informed me 

 that it had been found in Aberdeen. Miss Boswell has 

 seen it in Kincardine. In the Flora of Forfarshire, it is 

 given only on the old and unconfirmed authority of G. 

 Don. I picked it on the rock of Stirling Castle, and 

 have also seen it about Edinburgh ; where it should be 

 common, as the name is marked with the highest sign of 

 frequency in the Edinbxu'gh Society's Catalogue. Not 

 recorded for any county in the west of Scotland. Only 

 very locally and shortly exceeding the latitudinal parallel 

 of 57, as an allowed native.
