Native. Pratal. In its area this plant is peculiarly 

 western ; and yet it differs from other species referred to 

 the Atlantic type, by not occurring in the Peninsula; for 

 the alleged locality, near Moreton, in Devonshire, on the 

 authority of Mr. Weston, requires verification. It may be 

 held one of the connecting links between the Atlantic and 

 Highland types ; widely different as those types are in 

 general. Dr. Robert Graham observed it " some way up 

 the Ben More, in Cowal," Argyleshire ; and it may be 200 

 yards, or upwards, above the sea, in some of its Caernar- 

 vonshire localities.
