Sect. VI. Of the Indigenous and Forest Trees and Shrubs of

Smtzerland.

Switzerland, from its range oflatitude, its lofty mountains, and its hilis ofevery degree of altitude, of every variety of form, and of many different kindsof geological structure, is by far the most interesting country in Europe forthe botanist. Here, in consequence of the elevation, we have the plants ofthe arctic circle on the one hand; while the latitude of the Southern extremity,its low level, and proximity to the sea, joined to complete shelter from thenorth-east and west, are quite suitable for the plants of Italy and Greece. Theindigenous ligneous flora of Switzerland, therefore, contains many speciesnot indigenous to Britain. The following enumeration is taken from SutefsFlora Helvetica , edit. 1822; and Gaudin’s Flora Helvetica, 7 vols., recentlyeompleted : —
