362 69. EUPHORBIACE^. 



Ascends, at the coast level, to the Lake province. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 49. 



Native. Littoral. Notwithstanding the occurrence of 

 this species on the coast of Suffolk (whence I have seen 

 specimens, collected by the Rev. W. Notcutt and Mr. D. 

 Stock) it is referred to the Atlantic type, on account of its 

 distribution being otherwise so decidedly western and 

 southern, ranging along those coasts from Cumberland to 

 Kent. It occurs on the ballast-hills of Tyne province ; 

 and it is enumerated in the Catalogue of the Botanical 

 Society of Edinburgh, though as a species certainly intro- 

 duced to that neighbourhood. The Catalogue, however, 

 is not adapted to show on which side of the Forth, Low- 

 land or Highland, 14 or 15, the species had been seen. 

 Query, as a temporary straggler only ?

Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends, at the coast level, to West Lowlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 49. 



Native. Littoral. In addition to the counties above 

 mentioned, this has been recorded in Devon, Dorset, main- 

 land Hants, Glamorgan, Caerraarthen, Pembroke, Caernar- 

 von, Anglesea, and Kent ; the last (Martyn, in B. G.) 

 doubtless an error. The range of the present species, it 

 may thus be seen, is more exclusively southern and west- 

 ern than that of E. Paralias.
