THE BOTANY OF APPLEBY AND DISTRICT. 
R.-E, LEACH; M.A, FL:5.,; F.G.5., 
Appleby School, Westmorland. 
WueEN I came to Appleby at the beginning of the year 1892, 
I could find no information about the flora of the neighbourhood 
except the localities of two plants recorded in Mr. Baker's ‘ Flora of 
the Lake District.’ I have therefore thought it worth while to note 
down what plants I have found, in the hope that my list may be of 
service to other botanists. All the plants recorded have been 
noticed in 1892 or 1893. 
I have derived very great assistance from Miss M. Heelis, and 
without her help my list would have been very much smaller. 
To Mr. J. G. Baker I owe my best thanks for his kindness in 
naming difficult plants. 
The country which has been investigated lies almost entirely in 
the valley of the Eden; a few localities on the Pennine chain are 
given, but want of time has prevented me from going as far afield as 
I could wish. 
The three following—Gadlium ochroleucum, Crepis hieracioides, 
Eriophorum latifolium—are not recorded in the flora of the Lake 
District; and Stellaria glauca, Cerastium arvense, Geranium 
Pyrenaicum, Gnanthe fistulosa, Filago minima, Veronica hederefolia, 
Salix rubra, Scirpus sylvaticus, and Bromus erectus are not recorded 
for the county of Westmorland. 
It may be of interest to point out some good botanical excur- 
sions from Appleby. 
If the Warcop road be taken, before reaching Bongate Zurritis 
glabra may be found; on or near Brackenber Moor I have found 
Ranunculus apne: Cerastium arvense, Spergularia rubra, 
Erodium cicutarium, Ornithopus perpusillus, Carduus nutans, and 
Filago minima 
On the failwiy-bank near Sandford Moss, Galium verum, 
Galium mollugo, and the hybrid G. ochroleucum gladden the eye, 
while in the moss itself Gentsta anglica, Drosera rotundifolia, 
Eriophorum latifolium, Cladium Mariscus, Schenus nigricans, and 
Blysmus ghee us may be met with, 
nother good excursion is to Burrells, where we have found 
Geranium pa Malva sylvestris, Euonymus europeus, Hippo- 
Jan. 1894.
