62. CHENOPODIACE.E. 317 



respecting its claim to be held a true species. It is re- 

 ported from the counties of Cornwall, Dorset or Hants 

 (16 — 30 miles from Poole), Sussex, Kent, Essex, Suflfolk, 

 Norfolk, Caernarvon, Durham, and Northumberland. To 

 the province of Tyne the species may have been introduced 

 in ballast. That of North Wales will require verification. 

 The Cornish specimens appear to my eyes to be only a 

 form of C. rubrum ; but as other botanists pronounce them 

 C. botryoides, that county and the Peninsula are reckoned 

 in the census and area. Excluding Cornwall, the distribu- 

 tion would be Gennanic rather than English.

Native. Viatical. The recorded localities in Scotland 

 require verification. On the faith of G. Don's list, this 

 species occurs in Forfarshke. It is likewise included in 

 the Floras of Glasgow and Berwick-on-Tweed ; but without 

 any exact station being mentioned in the former, while in 

 the latter it is reported only on Holy Island, which is not 

 strictly in Scotland. There appears to be no authority for 

 the species in North Wales, except that of the Faimula 

 Grustensis, which I hesitate to receive while it thus stands 

 alone.
