390 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



plants of Dr. Gillies, several times mentioned in this 

 work. The suggestion made in the first volume, that it is 

 the D. "longifolia " of Shetland, Orkney, and some other 

 northern hahitats, thus seems so far confii-med. Dr. 

 Bromfield would seem to have considered the evidence 

 sufficient to establish this species as a native of Hants 

 (Phj'tol. iii. 338) ; but Dr. B. had an evident anxiety to 

 make the Hants list as long or as numerous as possible ; 

 and he was easily satisfied with statements, if their ten- 

 dency was to admit rather than to question species in 

 Hampshire. There is, however, no decided improbability 

 of its occurrence in the county, to set off against the very 

 insufficient evidence hitherto adduced in proof thereof. 



141. Polygala vulgaris, vol. i, p. 186. 



Another name has been added since the first volume 

 was in print, for an alleged variety or a variation of this 

 species ; but which seems to have no real difference from 

 P. vulgaris, as ordinarily understood by English botanists. 



142. Frankenia Icevis, vol. i. p. 186. 



Mr. Pascoe saw this in Cornwall, " on an old wall at the 

 Mount [St. Michael's ?] ; certainly planted." 



143. Elatine hexandra, vol. i. p. 188. 



Pro\'ince 16 may be added in the area, on authority of 

 Professor Balfour, who reports the plant as found in the 

 isle of Bute. Besides this, the county of Caernarvon 

 (Mr. C. C. Babington) and perhaps that of Kent (Sherard?) 

 may be added to those enumerated in volume first. 



149. Diantlms ccesius, vol. i. p. 192. 



According to Mr. Thomas Clark the altitude on Ched- 

 dar runs from 50 to 250 yards. Mr. Alton reports this 

 species, " very rare, on the limestone rocks in Fvirness " ; 

 but I fear to trust to this record unless verified afresh. 

 (Bee a remark on Mr. Alton's list, at page 338.)
