side of the Avon, about a mile below the hot-wells, but sparingly. 

 Mr. W. Clayfield and Mr. Dyer. I have also seen it on the fine 

 turf just below the hot-wells. 



Perennial. May. 



Root simply tufted, very long, tapering and fibrous, not creeping, 

 certainly perennial. Stems for the most part several, erect, or 

 ascending, from 3 to 6 inches high, round, leafy ; the central 

 one usually branched ; all rough in the lower part with mostly 

 simple, spreading or deflexed, bristly hairs. Radical leaves nu- 

 merous, obtuse, dark green, purplish underneath, deeply toothed 

 or sinuated in a lyrate manner, rough with simple, rarely forked, 

 rigid hairs ; stem-leaves scattered, smaller, and more entire, 

 coarsely and sparingly fringed. Ft. few, corymbose, erect, 

 cream-coloured, rather large, their petals upright. Cal. smooth, 

 reddish, scarcely if at all spreading. Pods slender, erect, straight, 

 smooth, slightly corrugated, on short smooth stalks, of which 

 some of the lowermost are accompanied by small Vmear leaves, 

 looking like hracteas, but not properly such. 



3. A. hispida. Alpine Rock-cress. 



Radical leaves lyrate or hastate, smooth or bristly, tufted ; 

 stem-leaves lanceolate, entire, scattered, mostly smooth. 

 Petals spreading. Root branched at the crown.
