Native. Sylvestral. There appears to be no printed 

 record of this species in the Lake province ; but I am 

 indebted to Mr. F. J. A. Hort, for information that it does 

 occur in Westmoreland and Cumberland ; thus completing 

 the uniform series of Nos. in the line of area, which would 

 otherwise have been interrupted between 11 and 13. In 

 the case of the next species also, and of several other 

 plants, I have been under the same obligation to Mr. 

 Hort, for enabling me to introduce the number of a pro- 

 vince, which must have been left a void at present without 

 the assistance of that well-informed botanist.
