Estimate of provinces 12. Estimate of counties 40. 



Latitude 50 — 57. English type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Midagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 47. 



Native. Rupestral and Glareal. Though found in some 

 few habitats as far north as the borders of the Highlands, 

 this plant is so scarce in Scotland, and so little entitled to 

 be called scarce in the more southern provinces of England, 

 that it may be assigned to the English type, even while 

 growing farther north than the Sanguisorba officinalis, 

 which has been assigned to the Scottish type. The latter, 

 indeed, is intermediate between English and Scottish; the 

 present plant between English and British. Perhaps the 

 county census would be nearer 50 than 40.
