 shire, is given in these two latter works. It is reported 

 as common in Leicestershii'e and West Norfolk, frequent 

 in Hertfordshii'e.

Mr. Bicheno's station, mentioned in volume second, 

 proves more to be suspected than he himself allowed. 

 Mr. Borrer writes of it thus : " In Mr. Bicheno's place, 

 shown to me by Mr. Motley, I could find only one patch 

 of the plant, intennixed with a wliite-flowered Origanum 

 of unusual appearance, on the summit of a rocky cliff 

 near the village." The italicized letters mark what may 

 be deemed the suspicious view of the locality ; but such 

 items in the total fact are too frequently suppressed by 

 botanical " discoverers." Another station lately reported 

 to me, which otherwise seems more reliable than that of 

 Bicheno, unfortunately still has the same isolated and 

 restricted character of a single patch. Mr. Purchas thus 

 describes the station : " I found T. C. on Besborough 

 Common, Gloucestershii'e, on a rough stony bank, inter- 

 mixed with PoljTpodium calcareum ; I could see no rea- 

 son for believing it introduced. I saw but one patch of 

 several yards square." (Letter, Dec. 30, 1850). See un- 

 der Ajuga Chamsepitys, infra, for another station in 

 South Wales. Mr. Babington describes this species as an 

 undoubted native.

Mr. J. T. Syme estimates the altitude at which he ga- 

 thered this plant in Orkney to be about 200 yards.

The county of Sussex may be erased from the south 

 limit, as Mr. Borrer writes, " I fear that A. C. is as yet 

 undiscovered in Sussex." Mr. Babington finds Teucrium
