that of East Lowlands, on faith of a specimen from Mr. 

 H. M. Balfour, and some other reports of localities. 



356. Alchemilla vulgaris, vol. i. p. 361. 



The south limit may be extended into Cornwall and 

 Sussex. Mr. Pascoe reports " thi-ee localities " in Corn- 

 wall, one of them "near a garden." Mr. Borrer finds it 

 in Sussex. 



357. Alchemilla alpina, vol. i. p. 362. 



On Cautley Crags, near Sedbergh, Yorkshu'e, " as low 

 as 100 feet," according to the Eev. George Pinder. But 

 whether this intends only 100 feet above the sea, or 100 

 feet above Sedbergh, I am not j)i'epared to say. If the 

 former, this species may likely grow in a mean tempera- 

 ture of 46, if not 47. It thrives tolerably well when 

 planted in my garden in Surrey ; but unlike the A. con- 

 juncta, young plants seldom or never spring sponta- 

 neously from seed there ; nor do I think that the seed is 

 usually perfected. 



Xd. Alchemilla conjuncta, vol. i. p. 363. 



Another claim is now published for this as a wild Bri- 

 tish j)lant ; namely, " Glen Sannox, Arran, Scotland, Dr. 

 N. Tyacke ! " (Bab. Man. edit. 3). I must decHne to re- 

 ceive this as a certain locality for A. conjuncta, any more 

 than for A. planiculmis, unless confirmed by a second bo- 

 tanist. A living example of A. conjuncta was exhibited 

 not long ago among a collection of " British " plants, at 

 one of the Flower Shows in the Botanic Garden, Regent's 

 Park, labelled as Alchemilla alpina from the mountains of 

 Wales. I supposed this to be only the mistake or trick 

 of a gardener who had not learned to distinguish the two 

 species. Although Britain is a habitat geographically 

 probable I do not think we can yet regard A. conjuncta 

 as having been truly found outside gardens and unplanted.
