Native. Sylvestral. Some uncertainty remains as to 

 the true north limits of this species in the western pro- 

 vinces. In the Magazine of Zoology and Botany, it is re- 

 corded from the "banks of the Doon, near Casilis," on the 

 authority of Mr. James Smith ; but as no other botanist 

 appears to have recorded a Scottish locahty, I feel some 

 hesitation in canying the area and range of the present 

 species so far north. Two localities in Cumberland are 

 given on the authority of Hutchinson, not confii-med by 

 other observers, as far as my notes go. But from West- 

 moreland (" Ai'nside ") we have it reported on the autho- 

 rity of Mr. G. S. Gibson, which gives probability to the 

 Cumberland localities also. I have a specimen from Dur- 

 ham, by favour of Mr. Bowman.
