898 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



Caernarvon, Man, Ayr, require confirmation. Hants, 

 Sussex, Essex, Norfolk, Northumberland, Haddington, 

 are either erroneous or much susj^ected to produce the 

 plant only as an escape from cultivation. Mr. Borrer 

 gathered this plant on the island called ' Inch Garvie,' in 

 the Firth of Forth, in 1808. Professor Balfour men- 

 tioned its occurrence on rocks on the south of Ailsa 

 Craig, opposite the coast of Ayr ; but he omitted it from 

 his list of species seen on Ailsa. Does this after omission 

 intend that the Lavatera was not a native on Ailsa ? 

 Perhaps the safer course will be, to consider the plant na- 

 tive and certainly existent only in provinces 1, 6, 7 ; un- 

 certainly so in 2, 12, 13, 14. 



211. Tilia parvifoUa, vol. i. p. 243. 



Very little additional evidence has been adduced to 

 bear upon the question of the nativity and distribution of 

 Tilia parvifolia and the other sjpecies. The tendency, 

 however, has been towards confirming the i^resent as a 

 native species, and rejecting the others ; unless, indeed, 

 T. europsea of English botanists is to be held only a large 

 form or variety of T. parvifolia. Dr. Bromfield deems 

 this truly indigenous in mainland Hants and the Isle of 

 Wight ; and the latter habitat may thus be cited in the 

 south limit. Province of Mersey (9) may be added to the 

 area of it as an uncertain native. 



214, Hypericum Androsceimim, vol. i. p. 245. 



Mr. Storey finds it in Northumberland, and Mr. George 

 Wallich in Fife ; but whether really native in either 

 county, I do not know. For the present the province of 

 the East Highlands (15) can be entered in the area only 

 as a questionably indigenous habitat. 



215. Hypericum perforatum, vol. i. p. 246. 



No authority can yet be adduced for this species in the 

 provinces of Lakes and West Highlands ; the latter
