Mr. W. Carruthers, whose valuable help we gladly 

 acknowledge, tells us that the specimen from which the 

 drawing in English Botany was made, is stiU preserved in 

 the British Museum, labelled by Sowerby as found by Mr. 

 Templeton "wild in the neighbourhood of Belfast, flowering 

 in June." As the plant has not been found by any one of 

 the many diligent botanists who have recently explored that 

 neighbourhood, we cannot but fear that this specimen was 

 derived from Mr. Templeton's garden. Dr. Dickie, who 

 had access to Mr. Templeton's notes, does not give any 

 locality in Antrim. 



This Spurge was known to the early English botanists 

 under the name of " Tithymalus Hibernicus." See How's.
