the stipules. On my cultivated plant of V. Cuvtisii the 

 capsules are generally abortive, and I have not succeeded 

 in propagating it by seed. Tlie specimens of certain V. 

 Cmiiisii which are in my herbarium, are all fi'om the north 

 coast of Devon, about Instow and Braunton ; but I have 

 ventured to extend the area, &c., by uniting therewith 

 some other localities not so certainly refenible to V. Cur- 

 tisii. The first of these is the Land's End, Cornwall ; 

 where the Rev. J. S. Tozer is said to have fomid " a 

 small variety " of V. lutea. A second is Cromlyn Bunows, 

 South Wales, where Mr. Dillwyn is reported to have found 

 V. lutea. A third is that of the sand hills, at New 

 Brighton, on the Cheshire coast, where a Viola occurs 

 which appears just an intennediate foiTu between V. tri- 

 color and V. lutea ; and which, as appeal's by a manuscript 

 note of the locality, was refeiTed to V. Curtisii by so trust- 

 worthy an observer as the Rev. A. Bloxam. Mr. Babing- 

 ton informed me that he had collected V. Cmtisii on the 

 sands by Llpi Coron, Anglesea. Giving the distribution 

 by coimties, therefore, I may say that V. Curtisii occurs 

 certainly in Devon and Anglesea, probably in Cornwall 

 and Glamorgan, and perhaps also in Cheshire. Consider- 

 ing how little known this plant yet is, we may expect to 

 hear of it from more than five counties. The East High- 

 land province [15] is added to the ai'ea as an en'or, on ac- 

 count of the Edinburgh Botanical Society putting " Cm-- 

 tisii " on the labels of V. lutea, var. amoena.
