as having been found at Bardsea, near Ulverstone, in the 

 Lake province, where he sought it unsuccessfully, notwith- 

 standing " a very particular direction," by Wright, of 

 Keswick. It is much to be wished that botanists would 

 make a rule never to pay guides for directions or guidance 

 to localities, unless im those cases where the locality is 

 actually shown or found, and appears satisfactory when 

 seen. Perhaps the Perthshire locality, " Scone," may be 

 deemed just within the midagrarian zone.

Native. Sylvestral. Rather inclining to the Germanic 

 type of distribution. Chiefly in the southern provinces of 

 England ; and, in the present day, only known in a single 

 county in Scotland, the far northern one of Nairn ; although 

 it is supposed that Lightfoot may have seen it elsewhere 

 in Scotland. The provinces of South Wales, Tyne, and 

 Lakes, each rest on single and scarcely sufficient autho- 

 rity.
