Geographical Distribution. 



If A. angustifolia Vahl., fulgens and plantaginea Pursh, 

 belong to our species, it is diffused northward as far as 

 Greenland and Labrador; which cannot be wondered at, 

 since Messerschmid and John George Gmelin found it on the 

 banks of the Tungusca and the Jenisei (beyond 60° N. Lat.), 

 and Steller found it on Behring^s Island. It is remarkable 

 that Linnaeus found it at Torneo (68° N. Lat.) ; but Wah- 

 lenberg found it not in Lapland. To the south, it grows 

 throughout Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Prussia, Lithuania, 

 G^licia, Hungary, Transylvania, France, and Switzerland, 

 The farther south, the higher it ascends the mountains. It 

 is even foui:id on the Pyrenees.

 power of which is seen particularly in the vascular system, and
