FLOWERING PLANTS.

Of Haloragiacea?, Myriophyllura spicatum and verticillatum a- 



bound in the lake. 

 Of Grossulariaee, Ribes, rubrum and grossularia are plentiful in 



tbe woods. 



Of Crassulaceae, Sedum telepbium and anglicum are very com- 

 mon ; S. Rhodiola grows on Fairfield ; and Cotyledon umbilicus 

 is found in many places. 



Of Saxifraga aizoides, stellaris, and bypnoides are found on the 

 mountain tops ; we have not seen S. oppositifolia nearer than 

 Helvellyn j S. platypetala grows on the heights of Fairfield ; 

 Chrysoplenium alternifolium is also found by some rivulets; 

 Parnassia Palustris is very abundant. 



Of Rubiacese, Galium boreale grows on the islands of Windermere 

 and Asperula cynanchica is found on Whitbarrow. 



Of Umbellifera?, Sium augustifolium is common in the streams, 

 and Myrrhis odorata is by no means rare in old orchards and 

 elsewhere. 



Of Compositse, Apargia hispida is common and very handsome ; 

 Sonchus palustris (?) occurs in some marshy places ; Crepis 

 paluclosa is frequent in wet woods. 



Hieracium alpinum is found on Langdale Pikes ; H. lawsoni, on 

 Kirkstone Pass ; H. inuloides, in mountain rills ; H. sylvaticum 

 and boreale are common ; but we are not able to give a list of 

 all the mountain species of Hawkweed which may be found in 

 the district ; the lower range of fells, near the lake, are not 

 likely to produce any rare species, but the higher series, Fair- 

 field, High Street, 111 Bell, &c, would be very likely to repay 

 a more careful search than has hitherto been made. Serratula 

 tinctoria is plentiful on the shores of the lake ; Cardus hetero- 

 phyllus grows in Troutbeck, Carlina vulgaris on Whitbarrow ; 

 Centaurea nigrescens is not unfrequent on dry banks ; Bidens 

 cernna is found in Crosthwaite; Eupatorium cannabinum is 

 everywhere common ; Gnaphalium dioicum and sylvaiticum are 

 abundant, the former on mountain heaths, the latter in woods ; 

 Petastites vulgaris is found in several places ; Senecio saraceni- 

 cus grows near Newby Bridge, and in some old orchards, but it
