of England, making its appearance on ruins, churches and old 
walls. In the midland counties it is of rare occurrence, and in 
the eastern is scarcely known. In a few instances it is found on 
rocks, which must be considered its native habitat ; and I have 
particularly to acknowledge my obligation to those botanists 
who have noticed this and other interesting particulars connected 
with its choice of situation. From the great number of commu- 
nications received I am compelled to omit many notices that I 
would gladly have published. I have however made my selec- 
tion so as to embrace the principal facts as regards its geogra- 
phical range. In England, Westmoreland, Somerset and Glou- 
cester appear to be counties in which it occurs most abundantly.
