country is under view, were' there not two exceptions, by 

 the alleged localities in Devon and Glamorgan ; each 

 resting on the accm-acy of a single botanical obsei-ver. 

 But since there appears no improbability of this species 

 being indigenous in the south-western counties, the two 

 localities may pass undisputed, although it would be de- 

 sirable to find them confirmed by some of the accurate and 

 active botanists of the present time. Besides these two 

 counties, the same species is recorded from Dorset, Hants, 

 Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Leicestershire, 

 Denbighshire, and Durham ; the thi-ee last clearly requiring 

 confirmation: indeed, in the last of the three the plant 

 appears only to have formerly occurred on the ballast hills 

 of Wear, without persistence.
