ties of Sutherland and Caithness, and in the Orkney Isles. 

 The probability that it may yet be found in some other of 

 the northern counties or isles has induced to the estimate 

 of counties being set above at 4 instead of 3. Indeed, it 

 may possibly have been already found in a fourth county, 

 although no sufficient authority has been as yet given for 

 the more extended area which would be implied in the fol- 

 lowing intimation : — " It has been said that this plant has 

 been gathered near Culbin; most likely some other was 

 mistaken for it." (Notes to Coll. Mor. 8.)

Denizen. Sylvestral. Found in woods about Sand- 

 hurst, in Kent. Has also been reported from Suffolk, 

 Pembroke (a single plant), and Notts (plentifully) ; but it 

 is doubtful whether these all belong to C. hedersefolium, 

 or partly to C. europjeum. Hooker discards this plant 

 from the indigenous list ; Henslow and Babington admit 

 its nativity undisputed.
