357. Alchemilla alpina, L. (Alpine Lady's Mantle). Native. 

 Highland type. Range 1-3. The abundance of this plant, 

 which is absent from Northumberland and Durham, and only 

 found in one place in Yorkshire, where the Silurian rocks just 

 pass within the bounds of the county, is one of the most 

 characteristic notes of the Lake flora. It is quite confined 

 to the slate hills, being plentiful on Scawfell, Scawfell Pikes, 

 Great End, Lingmell, Great Gable (where it ascends to 950 

 yards), Red Pike, Pillar, over Blacksail Pass down to the foot 

 of Wastwater, and in Ennerdale down to the bridge over the 

 Liza. It is abundant on Honister Crag and round Keswick, 

 reaches down to the Vale of Newlands and the foot of Castle 

 Crag. In Westmoreland it is plentiful on Helvellyn, Fair- 

 field, High Street, and the hills round Ullswater and Hawes- 

 water, reaching down to the stream of the Vale of St. John 

 at the foot of Great Dod. It is absent from the limestone 

 hills south of Kendal, and is omitted from Miss Hodgson's 

 flora of Furness. In Journ. Bot. 1872, p. 308, Rev. R. Wood 

 refers a Cumbrian plant, gathered by Mr. W. Dickinson, to 

 A. conjuncta, Bab., which I believe to be merely a variety of 

 alpina. 



358. Alchemilla arvensis, L. (Parsley Piert). Native. 

 British type. Range 1-2. Cultivated fields and wall-tops. 

 Frequent. Ascending to 370 yards. — (Watson.) 



Mespilus germanica, L. (Medlar). Alien. 



L. Two trees in a high old hedge between Walney Church 

 and North Scale, east side of Walney Island.— (Miss Hodg- 

 son.) 



360. Cratcegus Oxyacantha, L. (Hawthorn). Native. 

 British type. Range 1-2. Woods and hedges. Common 

 everywhere in the lower zone, ascending to the limestone pave- 

 ment of Hutton-Roof and Farleton Knot to 400 yards ; in
