400 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



286. Acer Pseudo-platanus, vol. i. p. 255. 



Provinces (4) and (16) may be added in the introduced 

 area, on authority of Flora Bedfordiensis, Flora of For- 

 farshire, &c. 



227. Erodium maritimum, vol. i. p. 256. 



Mr. W. W. Eeeves reports that he found this species 

 " very sparingly on a sandy bank about a mile from Farn- 

 ham, Surrey" (Bot. Gaz. i. 327); but I fear to rely im- 

 plicitly on this record, unless verified by some better 

 known botanist, or the station described in terms suffi- 

 ciently explicit for enabling another collector to find the 

 spot. A " mile from Farnham " is a six-mile circuit 

 around the to-Rai. North Lancaster may be added in the 

 north limit, on authority of Mr. Alton's list. 



228. Erodium cicutarium, vol. i. p. 257. 



Ascends to about 400 yards in North Wales, on faith 

 of a record by Mr. Lees, in Phytologist iv. 119. 



228*. Erodium moschatmn, vol. i. p. 257. 



Mr. Borrer wiites very decidedly in confirmation of the 

 real nativity of this species in Cornwall and Devon. (See 

 Bot. Gaz. ii. 93.) 



229. Geranium phceum, vol. i. p. 259. 



Province (6) may be added in the area, on authority of 

 Mr. Motley's list of Caermarthenshire plants. I fear 

 there is very little reason for fancying this a native spe- 

 cies. Like various other old garden plants that seed 

 freely, this one is frequently seen semi-naturaKsed about 

 hedges and borders of woods in the vicinity of cottages 

 and country mansions ; and hence it is supposed native 

 by several botanists whose mental qualities better fit them 

 for observing facts in detail, than for reasonuig upon the 

 connexions between facts. Nothing has hitherto been 

 placed on record, sufficient to warrant the inclusion of G.
