Latitude 50 — 58. English (?) type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagi-arian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 300 or 400 yards, in Yorkshire (Leefe). 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native. Septal and Sylvestral. This species belongs to 

 the English type, except through some outlying localities 

 in the East-Highland province, which approximate its dis- 

 tribution to the more general or British type. It is recorded 

 from Lanark, West of Perthshire, and Moray ; with some 

 few other localities in Scotland, to the eastward of these ; 

 but westward and northward therefrom, it is not yet known 

 to occur anywhere in North Britain. Along with Galium 

 MoUugo and erectum, I include the G. scabrum, insubri- 

 cum, aristatum, and cinereum, at least of English authors ; 

 never having seen a British specimen, labelled under any 

 of those names, which appeared to me distinct from G. 

 Mollugo. But if G. erectum be really a distinct species, I 

 fear that its recorded localities cannot be distinguished 

 from those of G. Mollugo. I have not seen G. Mollugo 

 higher than 100 or 200 yards; but the Rev. J. E. Leefe 

 informs me that it occurs on the " summit of Hambledon 

 Hills," which exceed 1200 feet.
