Latitude 50 — 60. British type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Superagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 450 yards, in the East Highlands. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 42. 



Native. Sylvestral and Pratal. Wanting in the lists for 

 Shetland and Hebrides; nor did I note it as seen in 

 Sutherland or Caithness. Dr. Gillies found it in Orkney ; 

 and the Rev. George Gordon records it from Ross, and 

 very commonly in Moray.

Ascends ? (Say, 50 or 100 yards.) 



Range of mean annual temperature about 48. 



Native. Pratal ? I presume this to be the " Bulbocas- 

 tanum majus," mentioned by Dillenius, as having been 

 found " in a field between Hornsey Wood and Old Fall, 

 near the foot-path." It was, however, discarded by most 

 of our late authors until re-discovered by the Rev. W. H. 

 Coleman, who has been so successful in detecting new 

 plants or new localities for very local plants. As yet, it is 

 reported only from the four counties, mentioned for its south 

 and north limits ; to which one or two more might perhaps 

 have been safely added in the estimate.
