Provinces 6 and 9 may be added in the area ; that of 

 South Wales on authority of Mr. C. C. Babington, who 

 observed the plant in Pembroke ; that of Mersey on au- 

 thority of Mr. J. T. Sjme, who fovmd it at Fleetwood, 

 county of Lancaster. The late Dr. Bromfield wrote that 

 this so-called species " merges by a series of insensible 

 gradations " into S. Limonium. The Isle of Wight may 

 be added in the south limit, on Dr. Bromfield's authority. 

 Probably it occurs also in Essex.

This appears under two names, as a divided species, in 

 the thii'd edition of Babington's Manual, S. Dodartii (Gir.) 

 and S. occidentalis (Lloyd). Possibly we have two species ; 

 though if so, I am not yet prepared to separate their sta- 

 tions satisfactorily. The name of S. spathulata (Desf.) 

 so long applied to this one or two species in England, is 

 now said to belong properly to a different and non-British 

 species. In Dickinson's Flora of Liverpool, it is stated 

 that the present plant is now not to be found on Hilbre 

 island, on the coast of Cheshire ; a station wliich was my 

 only one for the province of Mersey. The station as 

 originally given to me, with a specimen still in my posses- 

 sion, was " Hilbury Island (J. Forbes, Esq.), W. Brand." 

 The letter " J." was perhaps a mistake for " E." ; and I 

 placed the locality under ' Cheshire ' in the Suj)plement 

 to the New Botanist's Guide, on the supposition that 

 Hilbre island was intended. The intermediate Cheshire
