L. amplexicaule years ago, should now be placed. Both 

 being mentioned in the list of Hebridean species, by 

 Messrs. Balfour and Babington, and both as having been 

 observed in various parts of the Outer Hebrides, there 

 seems much likelihood that both may occur also in the 

 counties of the North Highland province. Neither of them 

 is mentioned in the Orkney lists ; and only L. intermedium, 

 in the Flora of Shetland.

 Mr. Leighton (Hook. Br. Flo. 4), but is not included in the 

 Flora of Shropshire. There is a specimen fi-om Bangor, 

 Caernarvonshire, in my own herbarium, concerning which 

 I am at a loss whether to call it L. amplexicaule or L. in- 

 termedium ; and in this state of uncertainty, the province 

 of North Wales is excluded from the area, &c. Li Scot- 

 land, I have seen it in, or find it recorded from, Dumfries, 

 Wigton, Ayr, Lanark, Edinburgh, Fife, Forfar, Argyle, 

 Outer Hebrides, and Shetland ; and it will likely enough 

 be found in many other counties, including some of the
