live limestone rock over large areas that produces the calcicole flora 

 in its full cleveloi^ment. The tough limestone drift which covers

 siu'face layers, and yield a non-calcareous soil.

To turn to the calcifuge group. The j)lants which show a 

 preference for a non-calcareous soil are more numerous than ^those 

 which prefer lime; so that the species classed as calcifuge A in 

 '' Cyhele " almost equal in numher the whole calcicole group and 

 will alone suffice for our purpose. They are as follows : —
