or the other happen to be examined. This error simply 

 suppresses the locality for one of the species, without giving 

 rise to a false one ; but when the mislabelled specimens 

 fall into the hands of young botanists, as authentic exam- 

 ples of the species whose name they bear, they naturally 

 mislead, and occasion the assigmnent of other locaUties to 

 the wi-ong species. On this account, and because the two 

 species are otherwise often mistaken, the recorded locahties 

 require to be received with some degree of caution. I have 

 added two to the proAnncial estimates, deeming the species 

 very likely to occur in some of those western provinces 

 which ai-e left blanks above in the hne of area. Dr. Neill 

 records this species as seen in Orkney ; but that locality 

 appears too wide a leap northward to be admitted as a 

 tiaily native one ; especially since it remains unconfirmed 

 by Gillies, Duguid, or others.
