Native. Uliginal, Inundatal. I have no certain locality 

 for this plant in the province of Trent ; but as it is reported 

 for all the rest, and I have an indistinct recollection of 

 seeing it in Derbyshire, the provincial generality is assumed 

 interrogatively in giving the area. According to my own 

 observations, it is decidedly rare in the southern counties 

 of England ; and therefore I am led to distrust some of the 

 alleged habitats where it is stated to be common over a 

 large tract ; for example, " frequent within sixteen miles 

 of Poole," in Dorsetshire.
