JUNCACEA. 
Luszula pilosa is not infrequent, preferring shady woodland 
localities ; it abounds in Flimby wood, where also Z. sylvatica 
grows luxuriantly ; about the cliffs at St. Bees it is likewise plentiful. 
L. campestris is almost universally found alike in meadow, pasture, 
heath, and woodland. J. congesta, less plentiful anywhere than 
the preceding, is yet widely distributed. Coming to the Rushes 
proper, the following species are observable in moist situations 
along the coast line, viz., Juncus conglomeratus, J. glaucus, J. acutt- 
Jiorus, “Closs,” very abundant. /. /amprocarpus, about the 
Wampool estuary. /. supinus, J. bufonius, J. gerardi, the Cloffocks 
at Workington ; about Sellafield, zeste Mr. Jos. Adair; and prob- 
ably to be found generally about tidal creeks. /, sguarrosus, 
extremely common. 
CYPERACEZ. 
Blysmus rufus, on Whitrigg Flow, by the Wampool estuary. 
Scirpus palustris, a common species, growing about the swampy 
edges of lakes and tarns, is found in luxuriance by the long narrow 
pool (already frequently mentioned in these notes) on the beach 
near Bank End, Maryport. SS. cesfitosus, Salta and Bowness 
Mosses, rooting so firmly in peaty soil, as to be torn up with 
difficulty. S. f#uztans, floating in some of the “soughs” behind 
Dubmill, but not seen for the last few seasons, possibly owing to 
the absence of sufficient water. S. /acuwstris, the Bullrush, usually 
found in lakes and tarns, still grows in the ancient bed of the 
Ellen, at Maryport, where it seems in imminent peril of being 
obliterated, as the pool is gradually being filled up. S. maritimus 
has been quite recently forwarded to me by Mr. Jos. Adair, of © 
Egremont, and was gathered near Sellafield. 7zophorum vagin- 
atum and £. angustifolium, ‘“‘Mosscrops,” grow in great plenty at 
Salta and on Bowness Moss ; I have nowhere seen the broad-leaved 
species, which Mr. J. G. Baker thinks ought certainly to be found. 
Carex (Sedge Family). 
I will for the present content myself with an enumeration of the 
species noted at Salta Moss or the sandy beach from Workington
