plants of the neighbourhood of High Legh, in Cheshire, is Digitalis 
purpurea, which, in almost every hedge, adorns a county that from 
its flatness, high state of cultivation, and strictly fenced-in and 
plants beating these Sioa flowers had been observed in the 
Park in previous years. Boswell Syme, in his description of the 
genus Digitalis, says, “ Corolla tubular or campanulate,”” but I am 
not aware of any species of the genus in which the corolla is 
i nulate. - Voy are is included in the list, given by
