144 45. LOBELIACEiE. 



North limit in Shetland, Moray, Argyle. CrA^uc^ 



Estimate of provinces 16. Estimate of counties 60. 



Latitude 50 — 61. British (?) type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 350 yards, in North Wales. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native. Glareal. The distribution of this plant is pe- 

 culiar, including almost all the English counties and those 

 of the West Lowland province, with the neighbouring isles 

 of the West Highlands, as Arran, Cantire, Islay. Elsewhere 

 in Scotland it appears to be unknown, with two exceptions, 

 the coast of Moray and the Shetland Islands, in which 

 latter it is stated to be common. Under these circum- 

 stances, there may be a query whether the British or the 

 English character prevails in its distribution. It does not 

 clearly appear to be less frequent in the North than in the 

 South of England, although so local in Scotland.

 disti'ibution, unless on the ground of its single locality
