found by himself at Manor-head, Peebleshire. Perhaps 

 the county estimate may be raised to 15, the species being 

 now knovm in 13 counties, while those of Kincardine, 

 Caithness, and Outer Hebrides, any of them seem likely 

 enough to produce it, though it stOl remains unreported 

 from them. The provinces will be raised to 5 by Mr. 

 Blackie's addition of the East Lowlands, 



335. Potentilla fruticosa, vol. i. p. 340. 



The estimate of counties may be raised to 4, as Mr. 

 Alton says that this shrub has been foimd "near Ulpha," 

 by Cartmell. 



337. Potentilla anserina, vol. i. p. 343. 



This species should perhaps rather be designated " in- 

 undatal" than " glareal;" but its situations of growth are 

 very various in respect to humidity, including both dry 

 and damp places. 



339. Potentilla verna, vol. i. p. 343. 



Does this truly occur in Devon ? If not, the county of 

 Somerset should be named in the south limit. 



333. Potentilla Tormentilla, vol. i. p. 345. 



To this species Mr. Babington refers the Sussex plant 

 reported by Mr. Mitten, in the London Journal of Botany, 

 October, 1848, under name of P. mixta (Nolte) ; and adds 

 that P. mixta is a hybrid between this species and P. rep- 

 tans. I suppose it to be one of the doubtful or interme- 

 diate forms usually assigned to " Tormentilla rep tans ; " 

 and most of which apparently belong to P. Tormentilla, 

 by the character of " wrinkled carpels ; " though some of 

 my specimens, which are nearest to P. reptans in general 

 habit, are unfortunately in the early flowering state, and- 

 without fruit. Something has been recorded under one 

 or other of the synonyms, " Potentilla procumbens " and 

 " Tormentilla reptans," from nearly all the provinces, 

 southward to Devon, northward to Shetland.
