A FEW 
PLANTS OF SOUTH-WEST CUMBERLAND. 
LISTER PETTY, 
Ulverston. 
THESE notes from the Duddon area of South-West Cumberland 
were made some years ago, and, except where otherwise stated, the 
plants are still in the localities where then noticed. Although no 
species here recorded is new to the county, amongst the aliens will 
be found some which are at least uncommon. To my friends, 
especially the Rev. F. A. Malleson, of Broughton-in-Furness, I am 
indebted for plants which they allow me to include, and for this 
permission my thanks are due. Mr. William Hodgson, A.L.S., very 
kindly read my list for me, and to him it owes something, as will be 
seen. 
A. = Alien; N.A. = Naturalised Alien; D. = Denizen; N. = Native. 
Helleborus viridis L. (N.) Near Lady Hall; Rev. F. A. Malleson. 
In a field, close to the hedge, outside the Duddon Woods ; 
Miss M. Whineray. 
From the latter station I saw a specimen just after it was 
gathered. The locality seems to represent Dickinson’s in the 
‘Phytologist,’ 1861, pp. 222 and 286. I can gain no informa- 
tion of the plants ‘7 the Duddon Woods,’ as recorded by 
Mr. Tweddle in Miss Martineau’s ‘Guide to the Lakes,’ ed. of 
1861, repeated in Linton’s ‘Lake Country,’ 1864, and quoted 
by Mr. Baker in his ‘Flora of English Lake District,’ 1885. 
Mr. Hodgson tells me he has ‘seen lists in Mr. Tweddle’s hand- 
writing in which the green hellebore is mentioned as “ growing 
in the Duddon Woods—scarce.”’ This I suppose must settle 
the matter, though the plants have not recently been seen. 
Aquilegia vulgaris L. (N.) Duddon Woods; Rev. F.A. Malleson. 
‘Probably quite indigenous there ;? Mr. W. Hodgson. 
Delphinium Ajacis Reichb. (N.A.) Duddon Woods; Rev. F. A. 
Malleson. ‘Quite naturalised now.’ The only other record for 
the county known to me is in Baker's ‘Flora.’ ‘A weed in a corn 
field at Dean, 1874,’ found by Mr. W. B. Waterfall; in which 
position it was undoubtedly an alien, and is marked as such. 
Meconopsis cambrica Vig. (A.) Beck-foot near a house ; i.e., 
the foot of Logan Beck. 
Corydalis claviculata DC. (N.) Clearings in the woods near 
____ Buckman Brow; Rev. F. A. Malleson and others. 
May 1893.
