Native. Ericetal. The specimens of this species have 

 been usually referred either to P. rotundifolia or to P. mi- 

 nor, at least, until recently. I am indebted to Mr. C. 

 Prentice for a specimen from the neighboui'hood of Bewd- 

 ley, in Worcestershire ; but whether the locality itself is 

 strictly within the same county, I do not know. I suppose 

 that the counties of York (R. Leyland !), Dui-ham, North- 

 umberland, Cumberland, Benvick, Roxburgh, the neigh- 

 bourhood of Edinburgh and Glasgow (but in which coun- 

 ties?), and also most of^b Highland counties may be 

 rehed upon. Those of Oxford, Bucks, Warwick, Stafford, 

 and Lancaster, will require verification. It is this species 

 which was intended under the name of " rotundifolia," in 

 Edmondston's list of Shetland plants, published in the 

 Annals ; and probably the same con-ection should be made 

 in reference to the alleged P. " rotundifolia " of Orkney.
