Both these plants were reported by Mr. Robson, and intro- 

 duced by Withering, who states, '" F. intermedia (C solida) was 

 first sent to me by Mr. Hall, then by Mr. Gough, and afterwards 

 by Mr. Robson. The former found it in Lavan's Park, five miles 

 from Kendal. Wattsfield, half a mile fi'om Kendal, amongst a 

 clump of tall trees, plentiful, Mr. Gough. Near Ulverstone; also 

 between Cartmel and Kendal, Mr. Robson. At Perry Hall, near 

 Birmingham, in a meadow between the house and the river, Mr. 

 Pitt." The same author states, in reference to C. lutea, "This

 and far from any garden, as I am informed by Mr. Robson, who 

 sent a specimen for my inspection." The following is from Coss.
