 lest any mistake in the species should have occurred. On 

 rocks facing the sea, near Culzean, Ayreshire, according to 

 Mr. Shankey, in Hooker's Flora Scotica. About Coniston 

 Water, in the Lake province, according to Mr. Borrer, 

 in Phytologist, ii. 426 ; but apparently it is one of the 

 varieties which occurs there ; or, possibly, some other spe- 

 cies which had escaped from " gardens at Stavely and 

 Ambleside." With regard to the two varieties or sub- 

 species "Bauhinii" and '' sepium," I doubt much whether 

 they have been correctly referred to L. italica, and feel 

 much more disposed to view them as either hybrid or 

 simply aberrant forms of L. repens and L. vulgaris. If 

 not hybrid, T think that the Cornish form, from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Penrhyn, belongs rather to L. vulgaris than to 

 L. repens ; while the others which I have seen, from Hants 

 and Ireland, look nearer to the latter.

Native. Septal, Glareal. As I never met with this spe- 

 cies in my Scottish ramblings northward of the Friths of 

 Forth and Clyde, I should suppose it to be a scarce plant 

 in the Highland provinces. In the Floras of Forfar and
