1 RANUNCULACE.E. 75 



Native. Sylvestral. Plentifol tlu-oughout England and 

 most parts of Scotland ; being least so in the provinces of 

 Ouse, West and North Highlands ; and remaining still un- 

 recorded from any of the three groups which consitute the 

 province of North Isles. Its general limit of altitude, in 

 the East Highlands, runs about 600 or 700 yards ; though 

 it was traced above 950, on the Breadalbane mountains, 

 near Killin. 



7. Anemone apennina, Linn. 



Area (*-* 3 4 5 *-;(;*-» 10 ^f. * * * 15). 



Alien. Probably introduced into this country from Italy, 

 as a plant suitable for ornamental uses. Is said to have 

 occurred wild, accidentally or by natmahsation, in the coun- 

 ties of SmTey, Middlesex, Hertford, Bedford, Salop, York 

 and Banff. Of these, the first and last seem to have the 

 best claim to the plant, which has existed in the gi-ounds of 

 Wimbledon Park considerably more than a centmy ; and 

 the Rev. G. Gordon remarks that it " has undoubtedly be- 

 come wild at CuUen, an old family residence of the Earls 

 of Finlatter." 



8. Anemone ranunculoides, Linn. 



Area (* * 3 4 5 * * 8) [14]. 



Alien. Scarcely a naturaUsed plant in Britain ; though 

 introduced into Hudson's Flora Anghca, and retained by 

 succeeding authors. The counties of Kent, Hertford, Suf- /w. IM. //>.*/. J 

 folk, Salop and Nottingham, have been indicated for this 

 species ; that of Berwick, umiing out to be an eiTor, tlu-ough 

 the mistaking of Ranunculus auricomus for the present plant.
