 gi'asses of Britain ; ascending the Highland valleys up to 

 1100 feet, or perhaps more; but whether indigenous or

 question. 



1363*. LoiiiuM iTALicuM, Braun. 



Area (1 2 3 * * 6 .* 8 9 10 11 * * * 15 16). 



Alien. Having been much sown by farmers, during the 

 last eight or ten years, this imported gi-ass may now be 

 frequently found in a haK natiu'alized state. Whether it 

 be a species permanently distinct from L. perenne and L. 

 multiflorum, is a question of little importance here ; the 

 variety or species, whichsoever it be, not truly belongiag 

 to our indigenous flora, and therefore not to be counted 

 as an unit in any numerical summaries of distribution.
