PLANTS OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT 9 



between Kydal and Ambleside, as well as by remote farms and 



round the lakes and villages. I saw no Papaver or Fumaria. 



Cardamine amara Linn. var. lilacina F. B. White. C. By Aira 

 Force, on damp rocks in deep shade ; in some quantity. Apparently 

 the var. enibescens Petermann. See p. 316 of this Journal (1906) 

 for note from the Watson Exch. Club. Rep. 1901-5. — Cochlearia 

 alpina H. 0. Wats. In great beauty by Grisedale beck (W. and C). 



Poly gala oxyptera Reichb. W. Patterdale ; Howtown. In seve- 

 ral places, but only thinly scattered. C. Glencoin. The usual hill- 

 side form, and apparently more frequent up to 800 ft. above sea- 

 level than P. serpyllacea Weihe. But the sparse representation of 

 the genus for several hundred feet below this level is remarkable. 

 I saw no P. vulgaris Linn. P. oxyptera is not recorded for either 

 county in Top. Bot. or in Mr. Arthur Bennett's '* Supplement " 

 (Journ. Bot. 1905) ; but Mr. Baker, in his Flora, says that he has 

 seen it on Whitbarrow. 



In the following notes on the distribution of the fruticose Rubi 

 I give usually all my localities, so in a few instances repeating 

 and confirming previous records. — R* Jissus Lindl. W. Upper 

 Langdale ; Brothers' Water to Ullswater, in several places and 

 considerable quantity. — R. suberectus Anders. W. Rather frequent 

 at Langdale Head by small becks. — *j& sulcatiis Vest. C. Burns, 

 near Threlkeld ; in dense thickets for about fifty yards of exposed 

 wet ditch. Undoubtedly this species, and growing in great luxuri- 

 ance, though, as in some other English counties, with less con- 

 spicuously large flowers than in the type. — 11. plicatus Wh. & N. 

 W. Upper Langdale. C. Threlkeld. — R. Rogersii Linton. W. In 

 good quantity about half-way between Chapel Stile and Langdale 

 Head. Ked Bank Wood, Grasmere. — R. incurvatu* Bab. W. Kirkby 

 Lonsdale, by Kiver Lune ; Casterton to Middleton, very luxuriant 

 and in great quantity. — R. Lindleianus Lees. W. By Windermere. 

 In several places round the lake at Grasmere, and between Gras- 

 mere and Kydal. Between Collision and Ambleside (South Lan- 

 cashire), M. A. R. ! C. Watermillock, abundant. — R. rhamnifolius 

 Wh. & N., sp. coil. W. In two or three spots near Windermere 

 and Langdale, but nowhere quite characteristic. C. In one place 

 by Ullswater, near the Westmoreland border. — *jR. nemoralis P. J. 

 Mueil. 0. By Derwentwater, in tw T o places near Friars' Crag; 

 very characteristic— R. Scheutzii Lindeb. C. Threlkeld ; frequent, 

 and identical with the common Scottish plant.— R. pulchemmus 

 Neum. Widely distributed aud locally abundant in both counties. 

 R. Lindtbergii P. J. Muell. W. Fairly frequent and very luxu- 

 riant at Langdale Head and round Grasmere. C. Watermillock. 

 By Thirlmere, on both sides. Threlkeld. 



R. lacustris, sp. (vel subsp.) nov. Stem only moderately arch- 

 ing, dull greenish red, at first with fairly many long white hairs 

 (clustered and single), glabrescent, snbsulcate. Prickles many, rather 

 short, mostly declining and stout based. Leaves 5-nate, chiefly 

 pedate, small, with long strongly armed petioles. Leaflets con- 

 spicuously narrow, thin, usually not imbricate, green and strigose 

 above, paler and at first considerably hairy (though rarely felted)
