Estimate of provinces 4. Estimate of counties 6. 



Latitude 51 — 53. Germanic (.'') type of distribution. 



Agrarian region. Inferagi'arian zone. 



Descends nearly to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 50 or 100 yards, in Thames or Ouse. 



Range of mean annual temperatm'e 50 — 48. 



Colonist. Agi-estal. Very rare ; and, perhaps, scarcely 

 entitled to a higher gi-ade than that of an alien. The 

 province of the Channel rests on the sole authority of 

 Hudson's Flora Anglica, where the habitat is given " circa 

 Crook's Easton, in comitatu Hamptoniensi." The locality 

 of " Dove Dale " in Derbyshire, must refer to some other 

 plant. I posses specimens from Somerset only, through 

 the Botanical Society of Edinburgh. Mr. Babington in- 

 timates that it still gi'ows in Cambridgeshire ; and Mess. 

 Webb and Coleman have seen dried specimens, which 

 were collected in Hertfordshire.

Native. Septal. Frequent or common in the English 

 provinces ; less so, in Scotland. Said to be frequent in 

 Moray, not frequent about Aberdeen. Possibly the North 

 Highland province should have been taken into the esti- 

 mated provincial census.
