N.B. It will be observed that 

 my compiled notes give only 

 ten counties of Scotland, as 

 habitats for this common 

 plant of England ; and two 

 or three out of the ten seem 

 to need verification. It is 

 one, among many other simi- 

 lar examples, showing how 

 much the general vegetation 

 changes in a northerly 

 course, through the thinning 

 out and gradual disappear- 

 ance of plants plentiful and 

 conspicuously characteristic 

 in South Britain. A comital 

 enumeration brings out that 

 striking fact much more 

 clearly than a provincial 

 arrangement under eighteen 

 divisions only. The county 

 series of this plant is here 

 shown to be continuous for 

 England proper, apart from 

 Wales.
