of Humber, or Yorkshire. Winch quotes Hutchinson, with 

 suspicion of a garden origin, for it in the Lake province. 

 Dr. Burgess was told that it grew wild on the shore of the 

 Solway Firth. In the Flora Glottiana, it is stated to occur 

 on the Campsie Hills. Professor Balfour found it in Arran, 

 between Brodrick and Kildonan Castle — a station which 

 carries its range, on the west side of Britain, several degrees 

 further north than would otherwise be admitted; but if 

 wild in Arran, it may be so on the Solway likewise.

Alien. Apparently well established in its one locality, 

 though we can scarce admit it to be anything more than 

 an alien. The directions to find this plant and Salvia 

 pratensis, are thus given by Mr. Dennes : — " Enter Cob- 

 ham park by the gate nearest to Cobham ; — proceed past 

 the mausoleum to the large Spanish chestnut tree, which 

 marks the junction of the three parishes of Cobham, Cux- 

 ton and Strood ; — follow this road to the border of the 

 wood, and incline to the right along the upper end of the 

 field to which it leads ; — and in a spot directly north of 

 Cuxton Church these plants will be found."
