Latitude 50 — 6}. British type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. luferagi-arian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 250 or 300 yards, in the East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperatm-e 52 — 44. 



Native. Agi-estal, &c. The commonest species of its 

 genus in Britain ; growing in cultivated gi'ound, by road- 

 sides, on banks, in sandy pastm-es, &c. The round outline 

 of the leaves often induces young botanists to refer exam- 

 ples of the present species to G. rotundifolium ; and hence 

 several erroneous locadities are recorded for the latter.

Native. Agrestal, &c. The county estimate should

 by units. As far as records show, tliis plant is absent fi-om 

 the three groups of islands which foiTu the pro^once of the 

 North Isles ; and as it may also be absent from the coim- 

 ties of Caithness, Banff, and West Inverness, the estimate 

 cannot at present be taken so high as 80. In the Collec-
