762 Sagina procumbens L.

This widespread and partly anthropochorous species has been introduced from its central area in Europe and W. Asia into several parts of the world. However, it is considered indigenous in eastern N. America (Fernald). If so, it belongs to the true amphi-atlantic plants (Hultén, Amphi-atl., p. 124 and map 106). The dots in the Himalayan area may relate to S. saginoides (cf."no 761). Cf. also Meusel et al. 1965, map p. 146.
