12, CARYOPHYLLACE^. 221 



North limit in,j[Orkney ^ Ross, Dumbartonshire. 



Estimate of provinces 17. Estimate of counties 75. 



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 52 — 46. 



Native. Glareal. Frequent in England, gradually be- 

 come scarce in a northerly direction. Reported by Mr. 

 Alexander Duguid to occur in Orkney, but I fear that A. 

 marina was mistaken for the present species. The number 

 of Floras for A. rubra is misprinted 13 (instead of 19) in 

 the London Catalogue; thus making it appear much 

 scarcer than is the fact.
