Geographical Distribution. 



Desfontaines places this species on the mountains of Al- 

 giers, and Sibthorp near Messenia in Peloponnesus. It is dif- 

 fused from 30° N. Lat. throughout the whole of Europe. 

 How far it proceeds towards the north, is not yet established. 

 It grows at Bornholm, and in the south of Sweden ; but not 

 in Lapland, nor in Norway. Its northern boundary in Swe- 

 den seems thus to be the 61° N. Lat. How far eastward it 

 extends, is not yet determined. It is found in Lithuania^ 

 Gallicia, and Transylvania^ but not in Tauris, the other 

 parts of Russia and Siberia. Its eastern limit may therefore 

 be the 30° E. Lat.
