57. PINGUICULACE^. 289 



Descends to the coast level, or nearly so. 



Ascends to 50 yards, less or more, in Scotland. 



Range of mean annual temperature 47 — 46. 



Native. Uliginal. Discovered by the Rev. G. Gordon 

 and Mr. Smith, in the Black Isle, Ross, in 1831. This cir- 

 cumstance brought to light the fact that a specimen from 

 the Isle of Skye had been preserved in Sir J. E. Smith's 

 herbarium, gathered so long ago as the year 1794, by Mr. 

 Mackay. BaiTy also mentions P. alpina, as growing on 

 the hills of Waes and Hoy, in Orkney, which Neill (Tour) 

 supposed to be a mistake, but which may be deserving of 

 investigation now that the species has been ascertained 

 elsewhere in Scotland.

Native. Uliginal. Distributed in a peculiar manner; 

 being found chiefly at the two extremities of Britain, the 

 south- westera and north-western counties, with some inter- 

 mediate habitats. It is thus rather too boreal for the strictly 

 Atlantic (south-western) type, although much nearer to that 

 than to any other. Besides the seven counties above men- 

 tioned, it has been reported from those of Somerset, Wilts, 

 mainland Hants, Norfolk (erroneously). Isle of Man, " Gal-
