504 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



elevated, on chalky marl amongst brushwood, on a steep 

 bank, not on an artificial hedge-bank." Mr. Flower has 

 obligingly sent me a specimen from this station, and 

 I understand his opinion to incline in the same way as 

 that of Mr. Borrer. Unless there are two stations, how- 

 ever, there is a strange contradiction in the reports, 

 respecting the " hedge " and " bank." _

Province 1 may be added to the area ; Mr. Robert 

 Withers having given me a specimen picked near Dun- 

 kery Beacon, Somerset, at about 500 yards of elevation. 

 The station for this shrub in Sussex, as I am informed 

 by Mr. Borrer, was very little above the tidal level in the 

 adjacent river Arun ; but only two plants of it were foimd 

 there by himself, the drainage of the bog apparently hav- 

 ing gradually and at length wholly destroyed it in Sussex. 

 Originally, it must have descended quite into the infera- 

 grarian zone.

This extends into a second county, that of Gloucester, 

 in the same province of Severn. See Mr. Hort's descrip- 

 tion of the Gloucestershire locality, in the Botanical 

 Gazette, ii. 194, and iii. 17. 



965. Euphorbia pilosa, vol. ii. p. 359. 



This has been again reported from Sussex, by Mr. 

 George Maw, and as occurring in a different localit}'; 

 namely, on the left-hand of the London road, about a 

 mile and half from Battle. But Mr. Borrer has since 

 corrected this second report, by informing us that the 

 plant found by Mr. Maw was really E. platyphyllos. (See 

 Bot. Gaz. i. 307 and iii. 98).
