situations in the neighbourhood of villages or old farm-houses. Compton, 
given as a station for the white-flowered variety in Fl. Dev., is a very 
unsatisfactory one." — Briggs MS. 
Whilst, for my own part, I should hesitate to pronounce that this species 
is truly natural to all the localities about Plymouth which have been cited, 
yet in some of them I believe it is so. I have met with it only under sus- 
picious circumstances in Cornwall. The stations recorded must be taken 
for what they are worth. Mr. Watson limits its southern range to Devon 
(see Cyh. Brit. ii. 1 66, where he also expresses doubts as to its aboriginal 
nativity in Great Britain). 
Mr. Bentham says {B.B.F. " it is probably with us an introduced, 
not a truly indigenous plant."

This species was not known to Mr. H, C. Watson as occurring farther S. 
than Devon (Cj/b. Brit. ii. 176). Its addition to the Tlora of Cornwall by 
Mr. F. P. Balkwill is therefore interesting.
