Geographical Distribution, 



This plant seems chiefly to inhabit the south-west regions 

 of the Old World. Its eastern limits seem to be Grodno and 

 Translyvania, (20° E. Lat.) Northward it extends to the 

 ^4°, for it does not grow in Lapland. Southward it extends, 

 with some variety of form, (with smaller lobes of its root- 

 leaves), as far as Peloponnesus, the south of Spain, and even 

 Algiers, (35" N. Lat.)
