Native. Sylvestral, Paludal. Supposed to have been 

 inti'oduced into Sussex, Surrey, and Herts. The Rev. W. 

 H. Coleman describes a locality, near Dedham, in the 

 north of Essex, which may be a native one ; and several 

 habitats are reported in the province of Ouse. Mrs. Rus- 

 sell indicates it at French Hay, near Bristol ; but Dr. J. D. 

 Hooker and Mr. Thwaites do not mark the name in their 

 checked list of British plants found within ten miles of 

 Bristol. Garner's Natural History of Staffordshire is the 

 only other authority for the province of Severn, which I 

 find in my compiled collection of notes, &c. The Rev. 

 G. Gordon suspects that it may have been introduced into 

 Moray.
