326 Prof. Don’s Account of the Indian Species of Juncus and Luzula. 
The Luzula spicata, which occurs on the mountains of Scotland and the 
North of England, at an elevation of from 2000 to 3500 feet above the level 
of the sea, is met with at higher elevations throughout the central and south- 
ern parts of Europe, and abundantly in the polar regions of Europe, Asia, and 
America, as high as 71 degrees of latitude. It is also found on the chain of 
the Caucasus in 42° north latitude, being exactly in the same parallel with its 
most southern limit in Europe, and likewise on the Altai mountains, near the 
sources of the Irtish in 51° north latitude; and it may probably extend along 
some portions of the table land intervening between that vast range of moun- 
tains and the Himalayas. 
The present plant is from Kunawur, in about 31° 33! north latitude, nearly 
eleven degrees more to the south than any station previously recorded for 
Luzula spicata.
