to Mr. Pascoe's list, but has not been seen in that county 

 by himseK. 



609. Antheinis Cotula, vol. ii. p. 131. 



Province 9 may be added in the area, on authority of 

 the Floras of Liverpool and Manchester; but the plant 

 would seem to be rare about both those towns, and not to 

 be certainly found within a wide circuit around Livei'pool. 

 Mr. Syme also marks it as a plant seen by himself in 

 Lancashire. 



670. Anthemis tinctoria, vol. ii. p. 131. 



Has any living botanist ever picked a specimen of this 

 species in England ? Has it ever been found in Britain 

 elsewhere than about ballast heaps or in some equally to 

 be suspected spot ? I am unable to give an affirmative 

 response to either of these questions. But Mr. Babington 

 enumerates the plant as English and Scottish, " possibly 

 introduced but now having the appearance of being a 

 true native." I do not know where it has any such ap- 

 pearance. 



673. Achillea tomentosa, vol. ii, p. 133. 



An Alien, which ought never to have been entered in 

 the lists of British plants, according to information given 

 in the sixth edition of the British Flora, to the following 

 eflfect : — " Formerly much cultivated as a medicinal plant, 

 as well as for its beauty. Of the Scotch stations the one 

 near Balvie seems to be given on the authority of a soli- 

 tary specimen escaped from Mugdock Castle garden : the 

 Paisley one is quite erroneous : that at Auchlunkart was 

 in the sand of a river, whither the plant had been washed 

 down from a i^ortion of an old garden about a hundred 

 yards distant. The Irish habitat cited in E. Bot., and 

 the new one mentioned above, are no doubt equally ques- 

 tionable."
