Native. Pascual. Although I do not find the name of 

 this species in the lists for Shetland, Orkney, or the 

 Hebrides, it seems sufficiently likely to occur in the latter 

 group of isles, if not in the others also, to justify the addi- 

 tion of that group to the estimated provincial and comital 

 census. This plant grows on the summit of Craig Koy- 

 nach, near Castletown, in Aberdeenshire, which exceeds 

 1700 feet in altitude; also at 2000 feet, or upwards, in 

 Caernarvonshire. It is thus one of the iew umbelliferous 

 plants which ascend into our arctic region.
