Estimate of provinces 12. Estimate of counties 30. 



Latitude 51 — 58. Scottish type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Midagrai'ian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to a trifling elevation, in England. 



Ascends to 150 yards or upwards, in Scotland. 



Range of mean annual temperature 49 — 46. 



Native. Sylvestral. In Cooper's list of Metropolitan 

 Plants, but doubtless erroneously. The altitude, in the 

 north of England, is probably twice that given above for 

 the plant in Scotland ; but on this point I have no exact 

 information. Like several other species assigned to the 

 Scottish type, the present prevails in the north of England 

 and south of Scotland, without extending much into the 

 Highlands, or into the extreme north of Scotland.
