census than 50 counties ; and yet it may be that 60 would 

 prove nearer the reality. I am not pi'epared to specify lo- 

 calities in so many as 40 ; but the plant occurs too fre- 

 quently in England, to have had its localities very care- 

 fully obseiTed and recorded.

Area 1 2 3 4 5 * 7 8 9 10 11 12 * 14 * [16]. 



South limit in Devon, Hants, Kent. 



North limit in Edinburghshire, [and West Inverness .?]. 



Estimate of provinces 13. Estimate of counties 40. 



Latitude 50 — 56. English type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagrariau — 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. I am indebted to Mr. Churchill 

 Babington for notes of two localities in the West High- 

 lands, namely, Arisaig and Gare Loch. Nevertheless, I 

 have hesitated to take that province into the area, because 

 no other botanist appears to have observed this species in 

 the west of Scotland, and it is very scarce in the east. 

 Both South Wales and Western Scotland, however, ap- 

 pear sufficiently likely habitats to justify the addition of 

 one province in the estimate. The number of counties is 

 probably between 30 and 40.
