78 A Biographical Notice of Samuel Brewer, the Botanist. 



bottom of it, on the east side, in a meadow. Campanula foliis 

 cymhalarice} in plenty. In a lake at the foot of Grihgoch I fonnd 

 Potamogeton lapatki minoris foliis pellucidis, D. Llvvyd.^ On the 

 green pastures near the top of Grihgoch I could find nothing like a 

 Bistorta folio vario^ hut an Acetosa lanceolato folio glabro spisso, 

 ohiuso et vix auriculato,^ in great plenty, which I have seen on other 

 bills in Wales, and found only one specimen in flower. The lower 

 leaves are very small, and roundish ; that on the stalk broad at the 

 base, long and tapering to a sharp point. Whether Parkinson mis- 

 took this for a Bistorta I cannot assert. His figure does not agree 

 with my specimen. I brought plants with me and shall see next 

 year what they come to. The Hieracium latifolium uno vel altera 

 flore^ is only a variety of the common Pulmonaria gallica.^ Not 

 far from Llanberis Church, along the road, grows a Gentianella 

 pilosa, flore semper quadripartito^ very different from pratensis jlore 

 languinoso of C. Bauhin. I find specimens of one amongst Consul 

 Sherard's, gathered near Malham, which agree with this, except that 

 the Malham ones seem to have the flowers divided into five segments. 

 If I had a loose specimen or two I could better determine the differ- 

 ence. Our guide not being so well acquainted with the Glyder as 

 with the hills on the other side, we could not get to the place where 

 the Bulhosa alpina juncifolia, grows.^ Nor could we find, on the 

 south side, of Llyn y Cown, the Hieracitim mentioned to grow there j ^

^ A variety of Polygonum viviparum found here \>j Parkinson. 



* May be a variety of Bumex Acetosa, a very variable plant, if there be not 

 more than one species confounded under it.

"> This may have been a four-cleft variety of G. Amarella. 



* Anthericum serotinum. 



^ See Raii Syn., 168, n. 7. Gerarde's plant is Cineraria integrifolia. Dr. 

 Eichardson's, found at Llyn y Cwm, appears by his own specimen to be H.
