York (Mr. John Tatham !), Northumberland (Mr. Emble- 

 ton!), Westmoreland (Annals of Kendal), Cumberland (Hut- 

 ton, in B. G. — worthless authority). From these records, 

 we may consider that the provinces of the Peninsula, Chan- 

 nel, Severn, Humber, and Tyne are truly reported for the 

 present species. Those of the Thames and Lakes are now 

 not free from suspicion. The province of Ouse would seem 

 to be wholly erroneous ; C. multiflora being the species 

 really found there, and misnamed C. Polygonatum. The 

 present species has very recently been rediscovered in the 

 province of Tyne, by the members of the Berwickshire 

 Naturahsts' Club.

Native. Sylvestral. Rather partial and uncommon, 

 when considered as a plant referred to the British type of 

 distribution ; but still, perhaps, better associated with the 

 plants of that general type, than with those of the English 

 or Germanic. It appears to be more of an eastern than a 

 western plant ; but it differs from the true Germanic type 

 by not having any decided prevalence in the southern 

 provinces, as compared with the middle and northern, the 

 most northern being excepted.
