Native. Glareal, Agrestal. The Rev. G. Gordon thinks 

 this may have been introduced into Moray. Said to occur 

 in elevated fields at Auchallader, upon the Invercauld pro- 

 perty (Northern Flora), to which it may likely have been 

 introduced. Inclines rather to the English type, by its 

 decreasing frequency northward, and comparatively early 

 limit. Though unprepared to cite authority for the pro- 

 vinces of Mersey and Lakes, I venture to reckon these in 

 the provincial estimate. 



870. EcHiUM viOLACEUM, Linn. 



Samian. Found only in Jersey ; but it has, I think, 

 been once or twice reported from EngUsh localities, though 

 doubtless erroneously.
