Native. Pascual, Ericetal, &c. Rare above the mid- 

 arctic zone. In the form of L. Taraxaci, it occurs in 

 North Wales and the four northerly provinces of Scotland ; 

 but the transition from L. autumnale into L. Taraxaci is 

 so gradual, that I feel quite unable to say to what elevation 

 the fonner may ascend, or the latter may descend. Mr. J. 

 E. Moxou has recorded that " Apargia Taraxaci " occurs 

 plentifully in Sandringham chalk-pit. West Norfolk ; but 

 surely he must intend some other plant under that name ?
