[M. sylvaticum (L.) is reported to have been found at Lydford waterfall, 
and in Hempston woods, Devon ; but we may scarcely venture to accept the 
report. Its true home is in Alpine woods. Mr. H. C. Watson {Cyb. Brit. ii. 
210) places its South limit in York, adding that " it may be said almost 
confidently that in half the counties on record as producing this species only 
M.pratense has been really found ; the usual situation of the latter in woods 
and shaded spots, with much similarity of habit and character, leading to 
the frequent misapplications of name."] 
\^Iimulus luteus (Willd.) — a native of America — is naturalized 
in many boggy places in Britain. Mr. T. U. A. Briggs records, in 
Journ. Bot. iii. 351, that it grows plentifully on a sand-bank in the 
bed of the Erme, near Erme-bridge, Devon. He thinks it may 
have been derived from some garden at Ivybridge, a village on the 
river, about three miles above, where he has seen it in cultivation.]
