Native. Paludal. Frequent in England, although not 

 in the class of the commonest plants there ; apparently 

 rather infrequent in Scotland. Professor Balfour enume- 

 rates it among the plants seen by himself " on Ben Lo- 

 mond ;" but as the base of Ben Lomond is very little 

 above the tide level in the Clyde, the altitude of the loca- 

 lity noted by Dr. Balfour, may have been trifling ; although 

 the direct inference from the words themselves, if used by 

 an individual known to express his ideas precisely, would 

 have been otherwise.
