with Localities of rare Mountain Sjjecies, 23 



station is flooded when the water is high. — Juncus triglianis. 

 About half way up Helvellyn, ascending obliquely from the 

 north end of Thirlmere. — Oxyria reniformis. Black Rocks 

 of Great End, abundantly; ascending from the Vale of New- 

 lands towards Borrodale, &c. — Epilobium «lsinifolium. 

 Ashnessgill and west side of Helvellyn. Not seen in flower, 

 and the species not quite certain. — Faccinium Oxycoccos. 

 Rare about Keswick. Only seen in a moss on the west side of 

 the highest point of the road over Whinlatter. — ^'rbutus 

 UVa ursi. Descending Grassmoor to Crummoch Water; 

 rather on the Buttermere than the Scale Hill side. — >S'axi- 

 fraga stellaris. Many hills from 1000 ft. to 3000 ft.— 

 S, ttizoides. Black Rocks of Great End abundantly, and other 

 hills. — S. oppositifolia. Black rocks of Great End. The 

 Black Rocks were so called by my guide. They are the 

 walls of a deep ravine crossed in ascending direct to the sum- 

 mit of Scawfell Pikes from Styehead Tarn, keeping the Wast- 

 dale side of Great End, instead of the usual ascent by the 

 upper tarn. They are near to, but not in, the Screes, where 

 this species has been before found. — S. ^ypnoides. Helvel- 

 lyn, Great End, Grange, &c. — Silene acaulis. Black Rocks 

 of Great End. Not in Winch's list. — i^ubus saxatilis. Hills 

 between Thirlmere and Derwentvvater. — Potentilla alpestris. 

 On the steep rocks in ascending from the Vale of Newlands, 

 over Grange Fell to Borrodale. Not in Winch's list. — 

 Thalictrum alpinum. Ascending from Styehead Tarn to 

 Sprinkling Tarn, but nearer to the latter; also ascending from 

 the Black Rocks of Great End to Scawfell Pikes. I showed 

 the former station to my guide, Moore, jun., of Keswick. 

 Mr. Winch seems to doubt the species being found in the 

 county, and probably this is the first authentic station. — 

 Habenaria albida. Hills to the south of Watendlath Tarn ; 

 between the latter and Borrodale, &c. — Carex rigida. On 

 various hills, near their summits, as Saddleback, Helvellyn, 

 Great End, Scawfell Pikes, Grisedale Pike, Grassmoor. 

 Mr. Winch only mentions Skiddaw. — SnVix herbacea. Sum- 

 mits of Helvellyn, Scawfell Pikes, Grisedale Pike, Grassmoor, 

 Sic. — Rhodiola ?'6sea. Various rocks on Great End, Scaw- 

 fell Pikes, Helvellyn, west side of Grange Fell, Grassmoor. — 

 ,7uniperus communis. Frequent on the hills. Within a few 

 feet of the summit of Grisedale Pike, considered to be 2580ft. 

 high. Winch, in his essay on the distribution of plants in the 

 northern counties, mentions it as if rising only to 1.500 ft.; but 

 I saw it in various places above 2o6o ft. The summit of 

 Grisedale Pike was the highest station observed. In Forfar-
