The ciiief character of this large group as regards habitat lies in 

 the fact that more than half of them are plants of pastures, light soils, 

 and diy places. Four are water plants, and five marsh plants ; none 

 are characteristic of peat bogs. Eleven are maritime species. Only 

 eight are plants of the uplands or mountains. Analyzed according to 

 their distribution in Great Britain, they are a markedly southern and 

 western assemblage. Of 57 classed by Watson, 27 are of English type, 

 7 Atlantic, and 10 more combinations of English with Atlantic or 

 Germanic . Viola lutea is the only Scottish species, and one other, 

 Allium Scorodoprasum, has Scottish tendencies. The Highland type 

 is entirely absent except for Alchemilla alpina, and the pure British 

 type is unrepresented.
