species are found in Britain ; and only a few fa each us from the

consequently not been able 0 separate as a rigeee group plants 
confined to sandy soils, or fouiia only in woods and copses; but a 
ilection for a caleareous soil is more generally ree and Con- 
plants evincing it are found to have a lower degree of 
dispersion than other plants.
