CORRESPONDENCE OF RAY. 45 



Mentastrum, 8fc., Park., I have seen growing wild in 

 one or two places. 



Capilli veneris veri similes I desire to see a leaf of, if 

 you have it dried. I guess it to be that which I have 

 styled Filix saxatilis caule tenuifragili \Cystopterisfra- 

 gilis, Bernh.] 



Iraclielium majm Belgarum \_Campanula latifolia, 

 Linn.] in the mountainous parts of Derbyshire and 

 Yorkshire, &c., is very common in the hedges and 

 thickets. 



Digitalis purpurea is everywhere to be found in sandy 

 and rocky grounds. 



Anatmttis lutea nemorum \_Lysimachia nemorum, Linn.] 

 is no leslTcommon in the woods. 



Alchimilla vulgaris grows not only in all mountainous 

 meadows and pastures, but also plentifully in the 

 meadows hereabouts. 



Turritis vulgatior [T. glabra, Linn.] is, notwithstand- 

 ing its name, no ordinary plant with us 



Ehamnus primus Diosc. \Hippophae rkamnoides, Linn.] 

 I myself have not seen in England ; but by Dr. Maple- 

 toft was infonned that it grew wild on the sea-coast of 

 Lincolnshire, which you now confirm. 



The low sort of Salix you mention I take to be the 

 Salix angustifolia repens of Park. \_Salix repens y Linn.], 

 which I have seen wild in many places, but not in Cam- 

 bridgeshire. 



You have been more fortunate than I in finding Va- 

 leriana graca [Polemonium caruleum, Linn.], which I 

 have sought in vain among Fournesse Fells, where I was 

 informed by T. Willisell that it grew wild. 



Solanum lignosumflo. albo \Solanum dulcamara, Linn.*] 

 may, for ought I see, be a new species. 



Lathyrus sylvestris lignosior, Park. \_L. sylvestris, Linn. ?] 

 is to be found in the woods in most counties of England, 

 except those midland clay grounds in Cambridgeshire, 

 Bedfordshire, &c.
