Native. Viatical, Septal, &c. Perhaps the type of dis- 

 tribution may partake of the Gennanic almost equally as 

 of the English. Grows on the coast of Lancashire ; but I 

 could not satisfy myself of its being truly native there. In 

 Yorkshire, only two localities appear to be known ; and 

 for one only of these can I cite any good authority ; 

 namely, that of Marrick Park, near Richmond, where the 

 plant is found by Mr. James Ward. But since it seems to 

 be truly wild in Durham and Nottinghamshire, probability 

 may be held in favour of Yorkshire also.
