404 35. SAXIFRAGAC'E;E. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 250 or 300 yaids, in North Wales. 



Range of mean annual temperatiu-e 52 — 47. 



Native. Rupestral. Plentiful in many of the counties 

 along the western coasts of Britain ; rvmning eastward, 

 along the southern coast, into Kent ; and foimd also spa- 

 ringly in some few inland spots within the eastern pro- 

 vinces of Ouse, Trent and Humber. Notwithstanding 

 those few exceptional locahties, inland or east^jm, the Co- 

 tyledon affords one of the most perfect examples of the 

 Atlantic or Western and Southwestern type of distribution, 

 as ah'eady intimated luider the head of Sedum angUcum. 



COTYLEDOX LUTEA, Hlicls. 



Area [1 * 10]. 



Incognit. Stated to have been brought from Somerset 

 into Clement's garden, where it was seen by Hudson ; also 

 fi-om Yorkshire, into the Chelsea gardens, brought by 

 Hudson himself. As it is quite beyond belief that so con- 

 spicuous a plant should have escaped modem observation 

 in those counties, we are forced to conclude that some 

 egi'egious eiTor or imposition occiured. We have here a 

 fair example of the risk of eiTor, from reh'ing upon garden 

 plants which are sujiposed to have been fomid wild. 



Saxifraga rotundifolia, Linn. 



Ai-ea [12]. 



Incognit. " Saxifraga rotunchfolia, too, was found a few 

 years ago among the rocks in the vale of Newlands, but 

 has since been searched for in vain" (Mr. G. S. Gibson,
