653. DoRONiCDM Pardalianches, Linn. 



Area (1 2 3 4 5 * * * * 10 11 * 13 14 15). 



Alien. More or less established in many provinces ; but 

 most of its habitats are recorded with distrust, or with ad- 

 missions that it is an escape from gardens. 



654. DoRONicuM PLANTAGINEUM, Linn. 



Area (■*23*.***8is****14 15). 



Alien. The same remark will apply to this one, as to 

 the preceding species. Which of the two is really more 

 frequent, it may be difficult to say ; the names having ap- 

 parently been often crossed or misapplied. 



/ //^ /// / a/ ^^^- Inula Helenium, Li7in. 



Area 12 3 4 5 6 7^1(9) 10 11 12 (13 * 15 16 17). 



South limit in Cornwall, Isle of Wight, Sussex. 



North limit in Durham, Westmoreland, Cumberland ? 



Estimate of provinces 10. Estimate of counties 25. 



Latitude 50 — 55. English type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Midagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 48. 



Native. Paludal, Pratal, &c. Apparently a true native 

 of England, although only an introduced plant in many 

 of the localities on record for it. The Scottish habitats are 

 very few, and usually about old houses or castles, to which 

 it had probably been introduced for ornament or use.
