ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 451 



532. Valeriana officinalis, vol. ii. p. 26. 



This would seem to be less frequent than V. sambuci- 

 folia ; the latter being a synonym of Smith's V. officinalis, 

 and doubtless labelled by that name in most English 

 herbaria. 



537. Feclia dentata, vol. ii. p. 28. 



Province 12 may be added in the area, on authority of 

 a specimen given to me by Mr. Daniel Oliver, labelled 

 from Ai-nside Knot, either withiia the county of West- 

 moreland or very close to its border line. The distribu- 

 tion of F. Auiicla has been already treated in this volume, 

 page 355, apart from that of F. dentata. 



549. Apargia hispida, vol. ii. p. 38. (Leontodon.) 



Provinces 9 and 12 may be added in the area; the for- 

 mer on authority of the Flora of Liverpool ; the latter on 

 that of Mr. Borrer, who reports this species as having been 

 observed by himself in Cumberland. 



552. HypoclicBris niaculata, vol. ii. p. 40. 



Provinces 1 and 8 may now be admitted in the true 

 area of this oft-mistaken plant. Mr. Pascoe intimates 

 that he has seen it in Cornwall ; and Mr. Gibson writes 

 me that he had no doubt about the species having been 

 seen there by himself. The latter botanist finds it also 

 on Bartlow Hills, in Essex, very sparingly. The late Mr. 

 H. B. Fielding assured me that the Llandudno plant was 

 also true H. maculata. On these grounds some alterations 

 must now be made in the formula of distribution. The 

 south limit may be given in Cornwall and Essex. The 

 north limit is in Caernarvon and Cambridge, according to 

 present knowledge. The estimate of provinces will be 4 ; 

 and that of counties 5. The range of latitude will extend 

 southwards to 50. The mean annual temperature of the 

 Lizard station must be taken at 52.
