ALISMACE. 
Triglochin palustre and T. maritimum; the two Arrow-Grasses 
grow in company on the north side of the Wampool estuary towards 
_ Cardurnock ; the latter species abounds about the creeks on the 
_ Cloffocks at Workington. Adisma plantago and A. ranunculoides 
are both found about the peaty pools on Salta Moss; the latter is 
a plant of some rarity, which I failed to observe at its old station 
in 1887, its absence|being probably owing to lack of moisture, in 
which it luxuriates. Butomus umbellatus; a small patch appears 
in the bed of the Wampool near Kirkbride. 
ORCHIDACES. 
Orchis latifolia, O. maculata, and Habenaria chlorantha, are all 
to be met with in a boggy field near Dubmill which appears to 
have been reclaimed from the adjoining peat moss. Zpipactis 
latifolia; in the summer of 1885 I gathered a very luxuriant 
‘specimen of this plant close to the shore at Flimby ; it is, however, 
unusual to find it growing so near the sea. 
IRIDACE. 
Tris pseudacorus, in moist places by the edges of pools or rivulets 
near the sea; not infrequent. 
LILIACE. 
Scilla nutans; the Wild Hyacinth, unlike the Snowdrop and 
Daffodil in a condition of nature, is frequently seen in dry situations 
on the bluffs that overlook the sea asfrom Harrington to Whitehaven ; 
also about Coulderton and elsewhere. Ad/ium vineale grows abun- 
dantly along the lower part of the valley of the river Ellen, and is 
found on the beach near the Dock Junction signal box on the 
rai way near Maryport. A. ursimum, the “Ramps” of our local 
agriculturists, who hold it in abhorrence, is not usually seen close 
to the beach, though it appears in myriads in Flimby Wood. 
Narthesium ossifragum, a plant commonly of mountain springs, 
may be met with on the boggy parts of Salta Moss, also on
