{Linn.) var. mo'wgyna {/act}.), the Holly, Ilex aquifoHuni {Linn.), 

 and the Ash, Fraxinus excelsior {Linn.), in flower, a sight which I 

 had not before seen on this particular day. Near these trees I met 

 with the glabrous variety of the \Vild Crab, Pyrus malus {Linn.) 

 var. acerba, DC, and a little way down the hill in the direction 

 of Duffield, the Bitter Cress, with its large pink stamens, 

 Cardaniine antara {Li/m.). 



Early in the following month, June, I walked over to Markeaton 

 to see a former member of the congregation of Trinity Church, 

 and hoped that, as I had not examined that part of Derbyshire, I 

 might meet with some plants worth mentioning ; but in this I was 

 disappointed. There were only three that I thought worth while 

 taking specimens of — the White Willow, Salix alba {Lttm.), the 

 Barren Brome Grass, Broinus sterilis {Linn.), and the Marsh 

 Horsetail, Eqnisetum palusire {Linn.). 



Another place which I visited on this side of Derby, which I 

 mention here, though my visit to it took place in August, was 

 Muggington. On this occasion I had as my companion the 

 Rev. R. Feilden, Vicar of this parish, whose guest I was. He 

 took me in the first place to Gunn's Hills, where I met with 

 several interesting plants, such as Rubiis fissus {Lindl.), an erect 

 Bramble, with septennate leaves and small prickles. I was the 

 more glad to meet with this Bramble, as I had not before seen it 

 in the county, and had only heard of it as growing in Osmaston 

 Park, near Ashbourne. Another Bramble I was glad to see was 

 R. Sprenglii { Weihe), which Dr. Focke, of Bremen, named for me, 

 and this Bramble I had not previously met with in the county. 

 Other plants seen by me in this wood were the White Climbing 

 Fumitory, Corydalis claviculata {D.C.), the Perfoliate St. John's 

 Wort, Hypericum perforatum {Linn.), the Square-stalked St. 

 John's Wort, H. quadratum {Stokes), Ulex Gallii {Planch), the 

 Rose Bay, Epilobium angusiifolium {Linn.), the variety intermedia 

 {Gilib) of Plautago major {Linn.), a much smaller plant than the 

 type, and with arcuate ascending scapes ; the Wood Cud-weed, 

 Gnaphalium sylvaticum {Linn.), Hieracium boreale, {Linn), the 

 Giant Wall Flower, Campanula laiifolia {Linn.), Ruinex sanguineus
