by the Rev. Charles Holbech, of Farnborough, Warwickshire, (by whom 
we have been favoured with specimens,) whilst exploring the rocky pro¬ 
montory of Berry Head, Devon. It grows in great plenty, amongst coarse 
grasses, about two hundred paces from the westernmost battery, on the 
Dartmouth side. It has more recently been observed by Dr. Wollaston 
on the south-western extremity of the Mendip Hills, Somersetshire.
