104 3. PAPAVERACE^. 



Nortli limit in Ross-shii'e and North Uist. 



Estimate of provinces 18. Estimate of counties 75. 



Latitude 50 — 58. British (?) type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrai'ian — Superagi'arian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Channel. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yai'ds, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperatui-e, 52 — 46.

 coimted the commonest species of its genus. Perhaps it 

 might to be set down a true ' native.' In all likelihood it
