Native. Littoral and Glareal. This is a plant of the 

 sea-coast, rather than one of the sea-shore. Its present 

 range along the coast runs from the Land's End, in Corn- 

 wall, eastward to the Isle of Wight, and northward to the 

 south-west extremity of Scotland. Stated to have fonnerly 

 grown on the coasts of Sussex, Kent, and Norfolk ; and 

 the former, at least, was probably correct, though the loca- 

 lity is no longer in existence. To the locahty of " Sun- 

 derland ballast-hills " the plant had doubtless been intro- 

 duced by shipping. In addition to the present narrow 

 area along the west and south coasts, there are some in- 

 land localities on record, chiefly in the Severn province ; 

 but one of them being as far eastward as the Forest of 

 Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire.
