permanent habitat, unless it be on cliffs along the coasts, 

 where it may be fomid in vaiious spots, fiom the south 

 coasts of England northward to those of the Firth of Forth ; 

 even to Skye, accordmg to Lightfoot. On some parts of 

 the southern coasts, indeed, as those of Devon, it might 

 fairly be considered a hatm-alized plant. Not having kept 

 full notes of its localities, as seen or read, I am unprepared 

 to specify its provincial area by the proper numerals ; but 

 if we will accept those localities in which it is only an occa- 

 sional and temporaiy straggler from cultivation, doubtless 

 we may include all the 16 provinces within its area.

Native. Septal, &c. Said to be " common " near Hull, 

 on the authority of the Rev. J. Dalton, in the Botanist's 

 Guide ; a locality which should be verified before the area 

 and range of the species can be extended so far northward 

 of its other habitats. That of a " grass field in the island 

 of Tirey," reported in Flora Scotica, on the authority of Dr. 

 Walker, is doubtless an error. Sison Amomum and Pimpi- 

 nella Saxifraga occur plentiflilly about a SuiTey locality, 

 reported for the present species, which I sought there un- 

 successfully. The Sison may have been mistaken for it, in
