Province 12 to be added in the area, on authority 

 of Nicholson's Annals of Kendal. Also, reported to have 

 been found in Moray, but whether truly wild remains very 

 doubtful. Perhaps, it would be more correct to refer this 

 species to the English tj^pe of distribution, if wholly ab- 

 sent from the northern half of Scotland. It is, however, 

 marked with the highest sign of frequency for the Edin- 

 burgh circuit, whether rightly or wrongly so ; and it is 

 stated to occur " in various places, though not common," 

 in Forfarshire. 



371. Epilobium roseum, vol. i. p. 372. 



The provincial vacancies still remain as indicated in 

 the first volume. It is known in 15 coimties of the fii-st 

 six provinces of England ; in only three counties of the 

 remaining six English provinces ; namely, Notts, Derby, 

 York, from each of which I have seen a specimen. I 

 have seen no example from Scotland, though it is reported 

 from Moray {G. Don, in Coll.), Forfar (Miss Bousie, 

 Flora F.), and Fife (Dr. Dewar, B. S. Ed. Eep.). Per- 

 haps an estimate of 10 provinces and 25 counties may be 

 warranted. The type of distribution is English rather 

 than British, on existing knowledge. And the north 

 limit should be traced only to Yorkshire, within latitude 

 55, until we obtain more satisfactory evidence of the 

 existence of this species in Scotland or the most northerly 

 counties of England. Neither can the midagrarian zone 

 be deemed certainly exceeded.
