Native. Sub-littoral, Glareal. This is a maritime (or 

 coast) plant, although not strictly a littoral (or shore) spe- 

 cies. Its distribution is somewhat peculiar, in reference 

 to our geographic types ; clearly coming nearest to the 

 Atlantic ; but, unlike most of the species of that type, 

 having a western and northern, more than a western and 

 southern tendency. It occurs at intervals, and in abun- 

 dance, along the western coast, from Cornwall to Argyle ; 

 also on the northern coasts of Sutherland and Caithness, 

 in Orkney and Shetland, and northward to Faroe. On the 

 eastern side of Scotland, we find it in Moray, Aberdeen 

 and Berwick ; as well as very locally on the coast of 

 Northumberland. But thence round to Cornwall again, it 

 remains unrecorded on the eastern coast, and only very 

 dubiously recorded on the southern coast, in the Isle of 

 Wight and Devon. Thus, while the distribution is oceanic, 

 it passes into the boreal rather than the austral type. The 

 species is absent from Scandinavia, unless Norway be an 

 exception to this, which appears to be yet uncertain.
