the plant is certainly native in South Wales and Monmouth- 

 shire." On the contrary, Dr. J. D. Hooker writes to me 

 thus : " Mr. Brown tells me that Gnaphalium margaritaceum 

 is alluded to by Clusius, as being introduced in his time 

 from America." Mr. Fetermann informs me that it thrives 

 in the garden at Carour, West Highlands, at an elevation 

 ofl 740 feet.

Alien. Almost better deserving the designation of ' In- 

 cognit.' Blackstone is quoted in the Botanist's Guide, as 

 having recorded its occurrence a mile above the first of 

 Bognor Rocks ; where, according to Cooper's Botany of 

 Sussex, it could not be found by Mr. Borrer. In English 

 Flora, the Rev. R. ReUian is cited for its occurrence be- 

 tween Hauxton and Little Shelford, "indubitably wUd;" but 

 no such strong conviction is expressed by Relhan in Flora 

 Cantabrigensis, and in Henslow's Catalogue it is marked 

 as a species which ought to be expunged from our Floras. 

 According to the British Flora, it occurs in fields at Lar- 

 lingford, in Norfolk. The Flora of Livei-pool intimates 

 that it occurs on the site of the Old Botanic Garden of that 

 town.
