Sect. VI. Of the Indigenous and Forest Trees and Shrubs of 



Sivitzerland. 



Switzerland, from its range of latitude, its lofty mountains, and its hills of 

 every degree of altitude, of every variety of form, and of many different kinds 

 of geological structure, is by far the most interesting country in Europe for 

 the botanist. Here, in consecjuence of the elevation, we have the |)lants of 

 the arctic circle on the one hand ; while the latitude of the southern extremity, 

 its low level, and proximity to the sea, joined to complete shelter from the 

 north-east and west, are quite suitable for the plants of Italy and Greece. The 

 indi<^enous ligneous flora of Switzerland, therefore, contains many species 

 not "indigenou's to Britain. The following enumeration is taken from Suter's 

 Flora Helvetica, edit. 1822; and Gaudin's Flora Helvetica, 7 vols., recently 

 completed : — ^ ^
