Native. Viatical. Probably occurs in every county of 

 the four first provinces, and is reported from those of 

 Gloucester, Worcester, Stafford, in the province of Severn, 

 from Caermarthen and Pembroke, in South Wales. North- 

 ward from these, we find it in Nottinghamshire, where Dr. 

 Howitt deemed it native ; in Durham and Northumberland, 

 but only on the ballast-hills ; also in one spot in Lanark- 

 shire, according to Patrick's Flora, which is so far north- 

 ward from the other certain habitats, that distrust will 

 attach to the nativity of the plant there or to the correct- 

 ness of the recorded discovery.
