102 85. CYPERACE^. 



Native. Paludal, &c. No locality for this species hav- 

 ing been recorded on the northern side of the Grampians, 

 its knoAvn area is hardly so comprehensive as to bring it 

 up to the British type ; while it still rather exceeds the 

 English type of distribution, by its many stations in the 

 southern half of Scotland. The altitude above indicated 

 is intended for a station on the Ochill hills, which I had 

 no means of measuring, and of which I could make only 

 a rough estimate, from distant points for comparison.

Estimate of provinces 18. Estimate of counties 60. 



Latitude 50 — 61. British type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the sea level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends, at the sea level, to the North Isles. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native. Littoral, &c. There appears to be no recorded 

 locality for this plant in the province of Severn ; although 

 its occurrence all around the coast line of Britain, includ- 

 ing the adjacent counties of Somerset and Glamorgan, 

 would give a reasonable expectation of its existence on the 

 shore of Monmouth, if sought there. Accordingly, the 

 provincial estimate is taken at 18. Not quite restricted 

 to the shores, or even to the coast Hue ; as we are told 

 that it occurs inland, in stations near Petersfield and Soj)- 

 ley, in Hampsliii'e (Phj^ol. iii. 1037); near Farnham, in 

 Surrey (Bot. Gaz. i. 327); near Mildenhall, in Suffolk
