278 THE BUTTERWOBT FAMILY. 



HABITATS AND LOCALITIES. 

 1. Common Butterwort — {Pinguicula vulgaris.) 

 Boggy places on Fo-edge, and the hills, generally, beyond Bury, 

 Rochdale, and Stalybridge. Plentiful between Hayfield and Kinder 

 Scout, and on the heights above Lyme Park. Abundant also and 

 very luxuriant between Buxton and Bakewell, the best locality in 

 England. (Mr. Leigh.) Fl. June, July. 



Curtis, iii. 438 ; E. B. i. 70 : Baxter, iii. 209. 



2. Common Bladderwort — {Utriculdria vulgaris. ) 

 Ponds near Peel Green, Eccles, plentiful, and blossoming every 

 year. (J. S.) The same in the Lime Pits, Bedford (J, E.) ; at Astley 

 ^oss, and at Whitehead Hall, Astley (R. H.) ; and the same in two 

 or three pits on Damhead Farm, Mobberley, where it bloomed freely 

 in 1857. (Mr. Holland.) Up till 1857 it also bloomed abundantly in 

 Seaman's Moss Pits, near Timperley, but they have been drained, and 

 the plant is destroyed. Fl. June, July. 



E. B. iv. 25:? ; Baxter, v. 340. 



3. Small Bladderwort — {Utriculdria minor.) 



Ponds upon Hale Moss and in Victoria Park, but never flowering 



in either place. In a pit by Peel Green Bridge, Eccles, but not in 



flower ; and in a pit near Astley, where it flowered sparingly in 1856. 



(J. S.) Lindow Common. " Carrington Moss." (B. G.) Formerly 



in a pit near Chaddock, where it bloomed freely, but now destroyed. 



(J. E.) Fl. June, July. 



E. B. iv. 254. 



The Utricularias make admirable Aquarium plants, alike in the beauty of their 

 light-green and vesicular branches, and in the elegance of their flowers. 



The MyrsinAcea are shrubs entirely extra-European, and having affinities with 

 the Primrose Family, from which they are distinguished by their arborescent 

 habit and fleshy frnit. The only interesting species in cultivation is the green- 

 house plant called j^rdisia cremd&ta. Another little family of this t^roup, called 

 Nolan/icea, and exclusively South .\merican, is represented in a few disregarded 

 annuals with cainpanulate blue flowers. A third, called Selagiiidccte, exists 

 among us in the green-house Selagos, and a very unusual hardy plant bearing 

 the name of Globularia.
