Camixmula latifolia L. Field-sides N. E. of Brough, W., 

 1911. Clapham, v.-e. 64. 



Gentiana campestris L. By the Tees between Winch and 

 Shepherd's Bridges, v.-e. 65, 1911. 



Symphytum tuberosum L. Near High Force, D., 1911. 

 " Kecorded from near Durham on the authority of E. Eobson, 

 but has not been seen recently." Baker & Tate, Fl. Northumb. 

 and Durham, p. 230, 1868. 



Myosotis alpestris Schm. Seen in three localities in 1892, 

 two in Westmoreland, one in v.-c. 65 : no doubt these are the 

 stations recorded by James Backhouse in Nat. 1884, p. 12. It 

 seems most scarce in its Yorkshire home, where, in 1911, only 

 two or three blossoms were seen. It is evidently considerably 

 affected by drought, as one of the Westmoreland localities, 

 literally blue with thousands of flowers in 1892, was not nearly 

 such a striking sight in the hot summer of 1911. 



■■'Eu2Jhrasia Kerneri Wettst. Near scars E. of Ingleborough 

 Cave, v.-c. 64. 



*BhinantJnis stenophyllus Schur. Near Eibblehead, v.-c. 64. 



Melampyrum pratense L. var. ■'ericetorum Oliver. Stank 

 Wood, near Appleby, W., 1911. Hills near Farther Eome, 

 Giggleswick, v.-c. 64. Although the habit, shape of leaves, &c., 

 seemed to bring the plants from both these localities under 

 the montanum of Johnston, the toothed bracts seemed to oppose 

 such a determination. This conclusion brought about a closer 

 examination of more material and a comparison with the original 

 descriptions of Johnston's M. montamim in his Flora of Berwick- 

 upon-Tiveed, 136 (1829), and D. Oliwex'^ M.pratense var. ericetorum 

 in Phytol. iv. 678 (1852). A further note by the latter writer {op. 

 cit. 1078, 1853) seemed very much to the point, for there he 

 argues that Johnston did not examine a full enough series to 

 justify his specific characters of montanum, and comes to the 

 conclusion that this plant is really but a montane form of 

 ericetorum. This would appear to be actually the case, and thus 

 the plants could be, I consider, more naturally arranged as 

 M. pratense L. var. ericetorum D. Oliver, to represent the more 

 widely spread (I believe) variety, with a "forma montanum 

 (Johnst.) " (under ericetorum) for those who wished to differentiate 

 the smaller-flowered, more delicate, usually montane plant with 

 entire bracts. 



Utricularia minor L. Cocket Moss, near Giggleswick, not 

 flowering ; v.-c. 64.

 Mr. Arthur Bennett tells me that the late Mr. Martindale found 

 this in the county in 1907.

 Station, v.-c. 64. 



Rumex domestictis Hartm, Between Eibblehead and Selside,
