" Lysimachia ciliata, which was first noticed by W. 

 Backhouse, between Penrith and Wigton, has been dis- 

 covered in a fresh locality at the foot of Warnell Fell, 

 Cumberland, a wild situation, thus leaving no reasonable 

 doubt of its being a native plants (Mr. G. S. Gibson, in 

 Phytologist, Jan. 1846.) 



" Mr. Wright had ' found it [Lysimachia ciliata] in 

 1832,' in a slate quarry in Warnell Fells, about a mile 

 from Mr. Backhouse's place. The ' one specimen which 

 he gathered, and preserved a long while in his pocket- 

 book,' was unfortunately lost. ' Tlie Andromeda was 

 growing near it.'' I visited the quany with Mr. Wright, 

 but it had been extended on the side ' where he had seen 

 the plant,' which was consequently no longer there. Tliere 

 never could have been a bog for the Andromeda.'" (Mr. 

 Borrer, in Phytologist, Feb. 1846.) 



" L. ciliata." " Possibly introduced, but now 



having the appearance of being a true native." (Bab. Man. 

 edit. 2. 1847.)
