23. LEGUMINOS^. 313 



Latitude 50 — 55. English type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 600 yards, in the province of Humber. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 42. 



Native. Rupestral and Pascual. If this plant ascends 

 to the summit of Cronkley Fell, it may there be almost or 

 quite within the arctic region ; that hill being estimated at 

 2000 feet or thereabouts, in some publications. A species 

 which ascends so high in England might be expected to 

 occur also in Scotland; but hitherto the only recorded 

 Scottish locality appears to be that of " Dundonald Castle, 

 near Ayr, upon ground of a chalky nature," — the wording 

 of which gives rise to some suspicion of inaccuracy in the 

 observer by whom it was reported to the Author of the 

 Flora Scotica. 



CORONILLA VARIA, Linv . 



Area [1 and 12]. 



Incognit. This plant is supposed to have been found 

 somewhere in the Lake province ; also at Berry Head and 

 Linton, in Devon. The particulars are carefully set forth 

 by Dr. Bromfield, in the Magazine of Natural Histoiy (ix. 

 604), but do not fully wan-ant the inclusion of the species 

 in Biitish lists, until confirmed afresh.
