the E. latifolia is due to Dr. Bostock and Mr. Shepherd,
who gathered it on sandy ground near the sea, to the north
of Liverpool, in 1803. Mr. W. Wilson has since found it
near Holyhead, Mr. T. Drummond in the county of Down,
Ireland; and the Rev. G. Gordon in the Isle of Staffa.
It appears always to grow on the sandy sea-shores. It
is annual, and flowers in July and August.—W. J . H.
