Abstract
IT is usual to assign an Arctic origin to our mountain flora, and floral comparisons and statistics fully bear out this brilliant generalisation. It is formulated that height above the sea-level is climatally equivalent to northern latitude. This is an assumption that flowering plants are largely conditioned by heat. Thus latitude and oreographical habitats are more or less equal.
