A specimen from the Lizard (coll. Dr. J. Jacob) is in P. I. Herb. 
Mr. Charles Bailey tells me that he found this plant in 1866 " common at

serpentine."

* It cannot be so, I think, at the present day, or we should have heard of 
its having been collected by some of our contemporaries. The only addi- 
tional habitat to those of the elder botanists is that of the Eev. T. F. 
Ravenshaw, above quoted.
