species in a wild state ; and the records of its localities are 

 not sufficiently exact to convey any clear idea of its cli- 

 mate, altitude, &c. Has been stated to occur in the coun- 

 ties of York, Durham, Northumberland, Berwick, Fife 

 (Ochills), Forfar, Aberdeen, Dumbarton, — if the last- 

 mentioned county be intended by Mr. Borrer's locality 

 (Hook. Flo. Scot.) of the " Lower Fall of the Tummel, 

 Glen Luss."

Native. Paludal, Pratal, Sylvestral. In damp and 

 shaded places chiefly, and thus not precisely falling under 

 any single term expressive of the usual situations of growth. 

 Occurs about Dei-went-water, in Cumberland, which is be- 

 low 100 yards of elevation, and may perhaps be known at 

 a lower level in England ; while m the Highlands it is a 

 plant of the coast level. My notes of localities include 

 33 counties, and some others appear sufficiently likely to 

 justify the estimated census of 40, rather than the next 

 lower step of 30, counties.
