364 24. ROSACEA. 



Native. Glareal and Agrestal. A very common spe- 

 cies ; but not recorded in the lists for Shetland and the 

 Hebrides. I have not seen it higher than Loch Tay, which 

 is estimated at about 150 yards. Dr. Dickie records it so 

 high as 1715 feet in Aberdeenshire. ;j.

Denizen } Septal or Sylvestral. It would perhaps be 

 more judicious to count this tree among our aliens ; but as 

 some botanists would seem to hold it a true native, the in- 

 termediate category is taken for it. Reported from the 

 counties of Devon, Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Worcester and 

 Chester ; very dubious as a native of Devon ; and equally 

 so, perhaps, in Chester and Worcester.
