326 62. CHENOPODIACE^. 



Latitude 50 — 61. British type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagi-arian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native. Viatical, Agrestal. I am not prepared to ad- 

 duce any authority for this species or quasi-species in the 

 provinces of the Lates or North Highlands, both of which 

 are notwithstanding included in the estimated census, and 

 the provincial area is set down interrogatively as general. 

 The plant itself is one very likely to be disregarded by a 

 passing tourist ; and our lists of species for those two pro- 

 vinces are incomplete, and derived almost entirely fiom the 

 obseiTations of occasional visitors ; while the presumption 

 created by the distribution of the plant through all the 

 other provinces is, that it may be found also in those two 

 which are at present the seeming exceptions.

Estimate of provinces 18. Estimate of counties 70. 



Latitude 50 — 58. British type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 46. 



Native. Agrestal, Viatical. An alleged species very 

 little understood by English botanists ; the vacancies for 

 which, as above shown in the provincial area, will probably 

 be filled up with increasing knowledge about its localities.
