Estimate of provinces 14. Estimate of counties 50. 



Latitude 50 — 60. 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.

Native. Viatical, Septal. I am aware of only one lo- 

 cality northward of the Forth ; namely, in Moray, to which

 the Rev. G. Gordon. As it is marked " frequent" in the

 nigra or foetida. Apparently, the former occurs in the first 

 five provinces, and also in that of Tyne ; probably, in

Denizen. Viatical, Septal. Admitted as British by au- 

 thors of our general Floras and Catalogues ; but questioned 

 by several writers on local botany. I have never seen it in 

 any place which I could regard without much distrust of 

 its real nativity. In illustrating the distribution by the
