THE CABBAGE FAMILY. 117 



7. Gold of Pleasuke — (^Camelina sativa.)

 imported seeds. Prestwich, and Thornham, near Middleton. (J. P.) 

 Fl. June, July. Annual. 



Curtis, iii. 512 ; E. B. xviii. 1255 ; Baxter, vi. 447. 



8. Penny-ckess — [Thldspi arvense.) 



Dry fields, rare. Little Hulton. (G. H.) Tyns Bank, near Tyl- 

 desley, 1838. (J. E.) Fl. June. Annual. 



Curtis ii. 407 ; E. B. xxiv. 1659. 



The large, round, flat, semi-transparent pods, resembling silver pennies, render 

 this a very interesting and pretty plant. 



9. Small Waet-ckess — {Senebiera d'ldyma.) 

 On Barton Moss, sparingly, an arrival within the last three or four 

 years, for which we are indebted, perhaps, to the sea-birds that often 

 visit it. (J. S.) FL Julv. Annual. 



E. B. iv. 248. 



10. Common Bittek-cress. — {Cardamme hirsuta.) 

 In waste and cultivated ground, common everywhere. Fl. March — 

 September. Annual. 



Curtis, ii. 268 ; E. B. vii. 492. 



The name hirsuta is rather infelicitous, the plant being as often smooth as 

 hairy. 



11. Grove Bitter-cress — {Oardamine sylvdtica.') 

 In shady places, common everywhere, but loving best to sit in the 

 clefts and crevices of mossy rocks near dropping water, where it can 

 be softly and continuously sprinkled. Fl. summer. Annual. 



12. Great Bitter-cress — {Cardamine amdra.) 

 Marshy places, where somewhat shaded by trees. Plentiful in Cot- 

 terill Clough, about Bowdon, Rostheme, Bedford, Blakeley, Rainsall, 

 in Clayton Vale, and in the Reddish Valley. Fl. May. 

 Curtis, i. 184 ; E. B. xiv. 1000. 



A striking and beautiful plant, well marked by its large and conspicuous purple 

 anthers.
