Native ? Sylvestral. It would seem from the remarks 

 of Dr. Bromfield (New Bot. Guide) that no clear distinc- 

 tion is to be found between these two plants, and that both 

 grow really wild in the county of Hants. P. officinalis is 

 reported from many other counties, but I fear that all of 

 them are to be distrusted. P. angustifolia has been re- 

 ported from Suffolk and Flintshire, but it is now known that 

 Anchusa sempervirens was mistaken for the P. angustifolia 

 in the latter county, as intimated in the Botanist's Guide, 

 i. 292. What the Suffolk plant may be, I am not able to 

 say. The " Pulmonaria virginica" of the Botanist's Guide, 

 foimd near Newport, in the Isle of Wight, and also near 

 Netley Abbey, in mainland Hants, was probably P. angus- 

 tifolia. Is P. officinalis truly native in Yorkshire ?
