86. GRAMINA. 193 



Latitude 51 — 58. Scottish type of distribution. 



Agi'arian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, or nearly so. 



Ascends to 450 yards, in East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 48 — 43. 



Native. Sj^lvestral, Rupestral. Doubtless several of 

 the stations on record for M. nutans, if investigated, 

 would be found to belong to M. uniflora only ; and possi- 

 bly some of the more boreal localities for the latter 

 species, should have been indicated for the former. I 

 have seen no example of the present species from pro- 

 vinces 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 16, which are given in the area 

 only on old or much suspected authority ; that of Light- 

 foot for 16, though old and unconfirmed, is too good to be 

 excluded. There is no antecedent improbability against 

 7 and 9, North Wales and Mersey, given on the authority 

 of Mr. Griffith and Mr. Bradbury, in the Botanist's Guide ; 

 but the former imion of the two species, and frequent 

 misaj)plications of their names since, suggest the necessity 

 of more than the usual caution or scepticism in stating 

 here the area and range of this species.
