(After Baillon.) the mountains of Central Asia, the Himalayas. The genus Kalmia belongs to the mountains of North America. The Diapensiaceae live in the arctic regions, as also do several Ericaceae. Loiseleuria or Azalea proGumbens is widely distributed in the arctic regions, and also occurs in exactly the same form on the mountains of Central and Southern Europe; in the Central Alps it attains its maximum elevation of 2700 metres above the sea-level. Most of the Ericales grow sociably on rocky declivities in mountainous districts, and on sandy soil in plains. Many only flourish on moorland, or when rooted in a deep layer of humus, and these play an important part in the formation of peat. Fossil remains are found in the deposits of the Mesozoic, Tertiary, and Diluvial periods. The number of extant species known is about 2300. Vol. ii. 99.
