Native. Ericetal. Rather peculiar in its distribution ; 

 the four counties from which it is recorded being so far 

 asunder as to give the area a considerable range of latitude 

 and longitude, and make it include as many provinces as 

 counties. Introduced into the Botanist's Guide, as a plant 

 of Merionethshire, on the authority of Mr. Griffith ; into 

 the New Guide, as an inhabitant of Worcestershire, on the 

 faith of Mr. Lees's catalogue : both these counties are 

 probably erroneous, as other botanists do not find the 

 species there. The name occurs in the list of Metropoli- 

 tan species, by D. Cooper ; but I cannot discover that he 

 gives any locality for it, in that mass of confusion and 

 blunders — the Flora Metropolitana.
