38. UMBELLIFER^. 443 



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 52 — 47. 



Native. Paludal. As observed under the preceding 

 species, there has been much error respecting the present 

 one ; Hudson and Smith having unfortunately described it 

 under the name of " pimpinelloides," as though it were the 

 species intended under that name by Linnaeus. And, in- 

 deed, I am more than half inclined to refer one of the three 

 specimens in the Linnean Herbarium to this present spe- 

 cies, while the other two assuredly belong to the preced- 

 ing. As British authors, until the publication of Babing- 

 ton's Manual, continued to use the name of "pimpinel- 

 loides " for this species, I refer all localities, published 

 under the latter name, to the present species, with the ex- 

 ception of those from which I have seen examples of the 

 preceding species — the Linnean pimpinelloides. Hither, 

 also, must be referred many of the localities published for 

 the CE. silaifolia (peucedanifolia of Smith — not Poll.), for 

 which scarcer species this present one has likewise been 

 mistaken in several places. Nor are these two other spe- 

 cies of the same genus the only plants which have been 

 confused with this present one : several habitats recorded 

 for Peucedanum'palustre, and P. officinale, I have no doubt, 

 will also be found to belong to our present plant.
