The following local plants are frequent in the district : — Siurn

 vulgaris^ U. minor, Lamium intermcdiiwi and L. amplexicauUi 

 Stachys arvefisis, Riimcx Hydro lapat/mni, Sderanthus annuus, 

 Catabrosa aqiiatica. Along the coast, CEuaiitlu Lachenalii, 

 Beta maritivia, Polygomun Rati, and Kosleria cristata occur 

 wherever the ground is suitable. The following, seen within 

 the district, hardly deserve separate mention: — Priimis Cerasus^ 

 Rosa riLbiginosay E^iphorbia exigtia^ Salix pcnta7idray Equisetum 

 sylvaticiivi. Of the rare plants previously found in the district, 

 mentioned on p. 202, all were seen in their recorded stations 

 except Erodium moschattwi, Barbarea prcecox, Agrimonia 

 odorata, Cardials crispiis, Poa 7i€Vioralis ; but no effort was 

 made to verify any of these. 



It may seem remarkable that the short period of seven days 

 should in a limited area add nine species to the well- 

 worked flora of the North-east ; but the Lecale district 

 was a promising one, and its best portions had not hitherto 

 been properly examined; its rocks had never been climbed, 

 nor its marshes waded.
