ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 413 



304. Vicia tetrasperma, vol. i. p. 321. 



The south limit may be extended to Cornwall, on au- 

 thority of Mr. Pascoe. I am still unprepared to cite any 

 authority for the provinces of the Lakes and East Low- 

 lands. 



305. Lathyrus Aphaca, vol. i. p. 322. 



Mr. Benjamin Carrington reports this species from the 

 neighbourhood of Lincoln ; so that perhaps province 8 

 might be correctly admitted into the true area, though I 

 prefer still to wait for further confirmation. 



306. Lathyrus Nissolia, vol. i. p. 323. 



Provinces [12] and (15) may be added in the area; that 

 of the Lakes on the report of Mr. E. W. E. Hughes, in 

 Phytologist, ii. p. 905, requii'ing verification ; that of the 

 East Highlands, apparently not an indigenous habitat, on 

 the report of Mr. George Lawson, in Bot. Gaz. ii. 376. 



307. Lathyrus hirsutus, vol. i. p. 334. 



Of this species I have seen no English specimen, and 

 fear that it has been found wild only in one county ; 

 namely, that of Essex, in the province of Thames. A 

 single example has been found in the Isle of Wight, 

 " perhaps introduced accidentally ", according to Dr. 

 Bromfield's catalogue of Hants' plants in the Phytologist, 

 iii, p. 381. Mr. Borrer intimates that the plant found 

 between Bristol and Bath, was Vicia bithynica, which 

 certainly does grow in North Somerset, and was not un- 

 likely to be mistaken for a hairy-podded Lathyrus. 



309. Lathyrus palustris, vol. i. p. 335. 



Much uncertainty still attaches to the stations recorded 

 for this species. Mr. Thomas Clark has kindly sent me 

 a specimen in evidence of its occurrence in Somerset. 

 Dr. Bromfield indirectly expressed doubts about the al- 

 leged locality near Southampton, in his list in the Phy- 

 tologist, iii. 282. Afterwards, by letter dated August 24,
