Native. Sylvestral and Septal. The rarity of this shrub 

 in Scotland, being there foimd in only two locahties, af- 

 fords a sufficient reason for refemng it to the English, 

 rather than to the British type of distribution ; and yet it 

 has not the same predominance in the southeni provinces 

 of England, compared with the northern, which is charac- 

 teristic in the distribution of other plants assigned to that 

 type. Until recently, the only recorded Scottish locality 

 was that in Ayrshire ; but the Rev. G. Gordon informs me 

 that this shnib has been discovered in Damaway Wood, 

 Moray, by Dr. Innes.
