ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 431 



but on insufficient testimony for full reliance botanically. 

 The ' Penzance Guide ' is quoted by Mr. Pascoe, as his 

 only authority for Cornwall, in the province of Peninsula. 

 Dr. Bromfield had only the oral report or recollection of 

 a lady-botanist, for its occurrence in the Isle of Wight, 

 and no station to record in mainland Hants. Mr. R. W. 

 Macall reports in Phytologist, ii. 751, that he found a few 

 specimens at Rusholme, near Manchester, in 1846 ; but it 

 is not acknowledged as a plant of that neighbourhood by 

 Buxton's Botanical Guide. The Rev. W. H. Coleman 

 favoured me with a specimen gathered at Colney Heath, 

 Herts, in 1846. On the whole, perhaps, provinces 3, 4, 8 

 may be deemed certain, but provinces 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, all 

 uncertain, and hardly admissible without further confir- 

 mation.

Nicholson's Annals of Kendal may be cited as an au- 

 thority for the existence of this plant within the Lake 

 province. 



397. Herniaria glabra, vol. i. p. 888. 



Since the first volume was printed, I have obtained a 

 specimen from Norfolk, sent to the Botanical Society of 

 London. Provinces 1 and 4 are certain ; provinces 3 and 

 8 are uncertain, though not improbable ; provinces 2 and 

 14 must be excluded until verified. 



398. Polycarpon tetraphyllum, vol. i. p. 389. 



A Devonsliire specimen is in my herbarium, received 

 from Dr. Bromfield ; but all the other counties may be 

 said to require confirmation. It may be better on present 

 knowledge to hold the plant limited to two coimties, De- 

 von and Dorset, in two provinces, Peninsula and Channel; 

 the latter of the two requiring modern verification.

Province 6 may now be added ; Miss Atwood finding
