FLORA OF CUMBERLAND.

Croydon, Surrey. 
In the ‘Journal of Botany’ for 3 May 1899 (p. 225), I called 
attention to a few omissions in Mr. Ps s interesting 
book; here it will, perhaps, be slew able to enter more fully into

Top. Botany he still gives. Cumberland under P. verna; and 
under P. alpestris has ‘Cumberland!’ In the New Botanist’s 
Guide, p. 313 (1835), he records it from ‘Rocks between 
Newlands and. Borrowdale, facing to the former (doubtful 
whether this or the next),’i.e., P. verna. The later work thus 
giving it definitely as 7. alpestris. Whether P. verna as well 
as P. alpestris occurs must be left to future explorers to ascertain.

gives it for ‘Cumberland, Heysham sp.’ I have seen a speci-
