 Dry hedgebanks, common. Boggart-hole Clough ; Mobberley ; 

 plentiful in the lane leading from Mere Clough towards Clifton 

 Viaduct, Fl. July, August. Annual or biennial. 



Curtis, ii. 27S ; E. 13. xiii. «8^ ; Baxter, v. 373. 

 A pretty little plant, with so much the aspect of a Scabiosa, that it is often 

 called " Sheep's Scabious ; " and so much resembling the Compositae in its united 

 anthers, that Linnasus classed it with them. 



2. Ivy-leaved Bell-flower — [Campanula hederdcea.) 

 Banks of the Etherowe, near Mottram ; and Whiteley Dean, near 

 Rochdale. (J. P.) Fl. June — September. 



' Curtis, iii. 40i ; E. B. ii. 73. 



3. Harebell — [Gampdnula rotundifolia.) 

 Everywhere on dry hedgebanks and grassy heaths, lingering till the 



very sunset of the autumn. 



Curtis, ii. 238; E. B. xiii. 8C6 ; Baxter, i. 61. 

 One of the most graceful and admired of English wild-flowers, often called, 

 from the slendemess of its stems, the hair-\>e\\. 



" E'en the light bairbell raised its head 

 Elastic from her airy tread."

 In a wood near Brookhouse Moss. (Mr. J. Sidebotham.) Fl. July, 



August. 



Curtis, iii. 401 ; E. B. i. 12. 



Rather beyond the limits of our Flora, but too interesting a plant to be left 

 unnoticed, and possibly to be found much nearer home. 



6. Giant Bell-floaver — {Campanula latifolia.) 

 Woods and hedgebanks, where the vegetation is plentiful. Near 

 Pendleton, Clifton, and Barton. Abundant about Cotterill, Bowdon, 

 Mobberley, and near Lymm, in the lane leading from Thelwall to the
