276 56. BORAGINACEiE. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagravian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula, 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 47. 



Native. Sylvestral, Viatical, &c. An infrequent exam- 

 ple of the British type ; but not so exclusively or predo- 

 minantly austral, as to warrant its assignment to the English 

 type. I think it vras seen in Cornwall by myself, although 

 I do not find any memorandum to that effect among my 

 notes.

Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England.

Native. Agrestal. The Rev. G. Gordon regards this as 

 an agricultural colonist in Moray ; and it is marked as 

 being doubtfully indigenous in the parish of Alvah, Banff- 

 shire. It is, however, rather a frequent weed of the corn 

 fields in Eastern Scotland. Absent from the lists of plants 

 for Shetland, Orkney, Sutherland, Caithness, West-Inver- 

 ness, Islay and Cantire ; so that it would seem to be 

 infrequent in the North and West of Scotland.
