074. Achillea tanacetifolia, vol. ii. p. 134. 



I fear this may be a third instance, in one genus, of a 

 species being too hastily introduced into our Floras and 

 Catalogues, as a genuine native. Mr. Borrer writes thus 

 of Mr. Hai%'s stations: "In July 1849, Mr. Hardy 

 kindly accompanied me to three j)laces around Ringing 

 Low where he had found the plant, — in one, as lately as 

 last year ; but it had disappeared from all " (Bot. Gaz. ii. 

 96, 1850). Notwithstanding this report, however, Mr. 

 Babington (who first, I believe, pubhshed the plant as 

 British) still describes it as an unquestioned native (1851) 

 and repeats the locality of Ringing Low ; so that there 

 would seem to be some reason, however faint, for still 

 believing it a British species. 



676. Campanula patida, vol. ii. p. 136. 



It may be safer to exclude the province of Peninsula 

 [1] from the true area, until confirmed hy more recent 

 and better authority. Those of Ouse, South Wales, and 

 Lakes, are liable to suspicion ; although perhaps not suf- 

 ficiently so to warrant their exclusion at present. 



677. Campanula Rapunculus, vol. ii. p. 137. 

 Province (9) may be added to the area of this species, as 



an introduced plant, on faith of a locality recorded in 

 Buxton's Manchester Flora. 



679. Campanula rapunculoides, vol. ii. p. 138. 



It may be as well to confirm the i^ropriety of having 

 excluded the Channel province from the area of this plant, 

 while resting only on the authority of Mr. Curtis, by 

 quoting the following explanation, taken from a letter 

 written by Dr. Bromfield after the second volume of 

 the Cybele was in print : — " Mr. Curtis's Dorset ' C. 

 rapunculoides ' was, as I afterwards found by looking 

 at the drawing made for British Entomology, only C.
