92 44. COMPOSITiE. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 50 yards, more or less, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 48. 



Native, Viatical. Chiefly about the south-eastern coast 

 of England ; but said also to occur very locally in two of 

 the western counties, Devon and Somerset. The locality 

 of Sandsend, near Whitby (Flo. York), will require verifi- 

 cation by a botanist, though not an improbable habitat. 

 The localities still more northerly, in the province of Tyne, 

 are only those of the ballast hills, to which the species has 

 doubtless been introduced by shipping. Said to have oc- 

 curred in the Isle of Wight, though not found by Dr. 

 Bromfield at the present time.

Area (*2345*7)** [10]. 



Alien. Occasionally found among clover, lucerne, or 

 saintfoin, introduced with the foreign seeds ; and also some- 

 times by roads and other places near the coast. A. Aiken 

 is said to have found it in " dry pastures about Frystone," 

 Yorkshire. (B. G.)

Alien. " Naturalized on Sunderland ballast hills, Dur- 

 ham, — W. Weighell's Herb. Scarcely entitled to a place 

 in an English Flora, though admitted by the late Dr. 

 Withering." — (Winch's Flora of Northumberland and Dur- 

 ham). Perhaps the term "Incognit" might have better 

 applied to the present species, which does not appear
