Stellaria uliginosa. 
Urtica dioica, 300 ft. above its usual limit. 
Campanula rotundifolia. 
Hieracium pilosella. 
Polypodium vulgare. P. dryopteris. 
Juncus communis, besides other rushes and grasses. 
Hypnum, Sphagnum, and other mosses, and a species of Odontia. 
Bellis perennis and Potentilla tormentilla and Galium saxatile 
intrude themselves into the potholes; while Vio/a /utea affects the 
grassy hollows which lie around the potholes. 
It is interesting to note the number of plants which here have 
found sheltered nooks to suit them, far above their usual limit of 
elevation, and far above a host of their competitors who have not as 
yet been enabled by wind or other agency to transmit their seeds 
thither, and gain a footing. The Sycamore tree looks quite out of 
place; the nearest of its fellows are far away down in the valley. 
The Fox-glove, too, I have found up here, 550 feet above its normal 
limit. But enough.
