specimen from Hebburn ballast hills, Durham ; and Mr. 

 Purchas says that it was foimd near Koss in Herefordshire, 

 in 1849 (for the fii'st time), in three spots ; in two of them 

 on rubbish heaps, and in the other in a field of Mangold 

 Wurzell. Pro\'ince (9) may also be added, on faith of 

 Buxton's Botanical Guide; though the alleged habitat 

 should be verified. The county of Devon may be substi- 

 tuted for that of Cornwall in the south limit ; its existence 

 in Cornwall having been either uncertain or accidental 

 and temporary.

Mr. Withers informs me that it cannot now be found in

 North Wales on authority of Welsh Botanology ; that of 

 Mersey on faith of a S]pecimen from Mr. J. G. Baker, col- 

 lected in Lancashire by Mr. J. Dugdale. Perhaps both 

 these provinces are worse than doubtful as truly native 

 habitats, but they may pass muster for the species viewed 

 as a denizen only. Enumerated in the Flora of Forfai*- 

 shire as a probably introduced species. 



265. Melilotus vulgaris, vol. i. p. 288. (M. alba.) 

 Province (15) may be added in the area, on authority of 



Mr. Croall in the Flora of Forfarshii-e. 



266. Trigonella ornithopodioides, vol. i. p. 290. (Tiifol.) 

 Province 9 may be added in the area, on faith of a spe-

 on the sole testimony of George Don ; no verification of
