453 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



555. Lactuca Scar'wla, vol. ii. p. 42. 



I am still unable to clear up all the uncertainties about 

 the distribution of this plant. The county of Sussex, the 

 only county of province 2 in which this species had been 

 reported, must now be expunged ; the Rev. W. W. New- 

 bould having informed me that it was an error of name. 

 But province 5, that of the Severn, may be added in the 

 true area, on faith of a specimen kindly sent to me by Mr. 

 Thomas Westcombe. Mr. Varenne also has given me 

 specimens from Essex. Dr. Bossey sent specimens to 

 the Botanical Society of London for distribution, un- 

 luckily labelled as L. saligna, from Charlton, Kent, in 

 1845 ; and these having been distributed without correc- 

 tion of name, they may have di*awn other botanists into 

 error. But the plant of Plumstead Practice-ground, in the 

 same county, is true L. saligna, and has been distributed 

 through the same Society by Mr. Dennes and myself. 



557. Lactuca muralis, vol. ii. p. 43. 



Province (15) may be enclosed, and also the county of 

 Moray, as not being within the true native area ; the Eev. 

 G. Gordon deeming this species introduced to the station 

 near Elgin. 



558. Sonchus palustris, vol. ii. p. 44. 



Three localities are reported for this species in the 

 Flora Hertfordiensis ; but all of them too dubious for re- 

 liance in the case of a species that has been so frequently 

 mistaken. 



564. Crepis biennis, vol. ii. p. 48. 



Mr. Borrer intimates that this plant abounds in many 

 places in South Kent ; and I found it sparingly in the 

 neighbourhood of Peterborough, in the northern end of 

 Northamptonshire. 



566. Crepis succiscefolia, vol. ii. p. 49. 



I am still unprepared to indicate the range of altitude
