112 3. FUMARIACE^. 



Estimate of provinces 18. Estimate of counties 82. 



Latitude 50 — 61. British type of distribution. 



Agi'arian region. Inferagrarian — Superagi'arian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 45. 



Native ? Agi-estal, &c. Abundant in cultivated ground, 

 and also pretty frequent by way-sides and on hedge-banks, 

 where its more rampant growth leads to its being mistaken 

 for F. capreolata ; from which it is readily distinguished by 

 the very broadly dilated, and almost orbicular, extremity of 

 (particularly) the lower petal ; which, in F. capreolata, is 

 narrowly spoon-shaped, and ladle-shaped in F. officinalis. 

 The present species decreases northwardly, and is appa- 

 rently scarce in the West Highlands ; being omitted from 

 lists of plants observed in Isla and Cantire, by Professor 

 Balfour, about Locheil and Fort WiUiam, by myself; as 

 also from Balfour and Babington's Hebridean list. It must 

 be the species intended under name of F. paniflora, in 

 Edmondston's Shetland list, published in the Annals of 

 Natural History.
