124 44. COMPOSITE. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian zone. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Channel. 



Ascends to 50 or 100 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 48. 



Native. Inundatal, Viatical. In addition to the six 

 counties above mentioned, this is reported from Wilts, 

 Sussex, Surrey, Oxford, Middlesex, Herts, Essex, Bedford, 

 Huntingdon ; making 15 in the vphole. In Yorkshire, ac- 

 cording to the ' Outlines,' but I cannot find the original 

 authority for this county, and the species is not included in 

 Baines's Flora of Yorkshire. But some of the intermediate 

 counties appear sufficiently probable to justify the next 

 higher step in the comital census ; more especially, as Dr. 

 Bromfield well suggests, because its inconspicuous aspect 

 may cause it to be overlooked b}' collectors. It seems, 

 however, restricted to a small area. A good example of 

 the Germanic, as the other species is of the English type ; 

 the antecedent one (Inula crithmoides) of the Atlantic; the 

 next succeeding (Bellis) of the Biitish. Any botanist who 

 will mark the habitats of these four plants on a map of 

 Britain, if only by counties, without more minute detail, 

 will clearly see what is intended by types of distribution.
