202 86. GRAMINA. 



Britain ; ill every province, county, and zone, and almost 

 everywhere in abundance. Its frequency, however, dimi- 

 nishes much in the arctic region, and it fails to reach the 

 summits of the loftiest mountains. 



1329. PoA EULBOSAi Linn. 



Area [1] 2 3 4. 



South limit in Isle of Wight, Sussex, Kent. [Devon ?J 



North limit in Norfolk, Suffolk. [Somerset ?] 



Estimate of provinces 3. Estimate of counties 6. 



Latitude 50 — 53. Germanic type of distribution. 



Agi'arian region. Inferagi'arian zone. 



Descends to the coast level, in Channel. 



Ascends, at the coast level, to Ouse. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 49. 



Native. Littoral. Three or four of the eight counties 

 recorded for this species may be held as doubtful, Spe- 

 cimens are preserved in my herbarium from the Isle of 

 Wight (Dr. Bromfield), and Norfolk (Miss BeU ; Mr. Fitt). 

 The counties of Sussex (Mr. Borrer), and Suffolk (Mr. E. 

 Forster) rest on good authority. Those of Devon (Rev. 

 Dr. Beeke), Somerset (Mr. Dyer), Kent (Mr. DillwjTi), 

 and Surrey (Hudson), it would be desii'able to have veri- 

 fied by the better qualified botanists of the present day ; — 

 better qualified than the collecting contemporaries of Mr. 

 Hudson or Dr. Smith, in consequence of the much in- 

 creased facilities afforded by more correct manuals, cheap 

 and pretty good figures, and the large distributions, and 

 mutual exchanges of specimens, made of late.
