438 38. OMBELLIFERJJ. 



Ascends to 150 or 200 yards, in the Trent province. 



Range of mean annual temperature 50 — 47. 



Native. Septal, &c. An eastern and inland species, 

 which occurs in few of the western counties, and there 

 sparingly. The province of the Mersey requires verifica- 

 tion, because resting only on indifferent or uncertain author- 

 ity. The Edinburgh Catalogue does not recognize it as a 

 plant of that district. The late Mr. Edmondston, however, 

 published it as a plant of that neighbourhood, in the Phy- 

 tologist, i. 406 ; but there can be scarcely a doubt that he 

 mistook P. Saxifraga, or something else, for the present 

 species.

Estimate of provinces 12. Estimate of counties 30. 



Latitude 50 — 56. English type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrarian — Midagrarian zones. 



Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 50 or 100 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 50 — 47. 



Native. Paludal. Reported in about 30 counties ; and 

 it may be that the estimate of 40 would be too high. Ap- 

 parently very scarce in Scotland ; being recorded only from 

 the counties of Haddington and Edinburgh, and the south 

 of Stirling. The Lake province requires verification. 

 Luxuriant examples of S. angustifolium are occasionally 

 mistaken for specimens of S. latifolium. Perhaps the type 

 of distribution may be more Germanic than English.
