South limit in Norfolk, Warwickshire, Worcestershire. 



North limit in Orkney (Lowe's list) and Ross-shire. 



Estimate of provinces 11. Estimate of coimties 30. 



Latitude 52 — 60. Scottish type of distribution. 



A. A. regions. Midagrarian — Midarctic zones. 



Descends to a trifling elevation, in England. 



Ascends to 850 yards, or upwards, in East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 47 — 36. 



Native. Sylvestral. The chief prevalence of this spe- 

 cies appears to run from Yorkshire into the Highlands. 

 Southward, it reappears in Shropshire, Worcestershii-e, 

 Warwickshire and Norfolk. Localities are also recorded 

 in Suffolk, Berkshire, the neighbourhood of the Metropohs 

 (D. Cooper's Ust) and Cornwall ; but these are probably 

 erroneous. The locality of " Kynance Cove," in Cornwall, 

 was incorrectly pubhshed for the present species, in the 

 Phytologist ; the name having been written inadvertently 

 instead of ' sanguineum.' Lowe's list is my only authority 

 (as quoted in Dr. Gillies's Flora) for the occurrence of this 

 species northward of the coimty of Ross ; but the probabi- 

 lity of the alleged fact may allow it to pass for evidence. 

 Frequent on rocks and about streams up to 600 or 700 

 yards ; rare at any higher elevations.
