142 FLORA OF THE LAKE DISTRICT. 



678. Campanula latifolia, L. (White Foxglove ; Giant 

 Bellflower). Native. Scottish type. Range 1-2. Woods 

 and hedges. Frequent. Probably nowhere in Britain does the 

 great bell-flower grow in greater plenty than at the Lakes, as 

 for instance in Troutbeck Valley, and about Lowther, Keswick, 

 and Pooley Bridge. Mr. Watson notes it at 350 yards in 

 Mardale, and it ascends nearly or quite as high near 

 Watendlath. Wilson says that at Kendal they sometimes 

 strip the skin off the young stems and eat them like asparagus. 



Campanula Trachelium, L. 



W. In the hedges a little way from the footpath leading 

 from Sizergh to Levens. — (Wilson.) Modern confirmation 

 wanted. The Keswick plant given by Linton as C. Trache- 

 lium is the last species. 



681. Campanula glomerata, L. Native. Germanic type. 

 Range 1. Confined to the limestone tract about Shap and 

 Kendal. First recorded by Lawson. Crosby Ravensworth, 

 Askham, Pooley Bridge, Great Strickland, and on the 

 Cumberland side of the Eamont at Redhills, and also plentiful 

 about Penruddock. 



687. Jasione montana, L. (Sheep's Scabious). Native. 

 British type. Range 1-2. Wall-tops, roadsides, and dry 

 banks. Frequent. Buttermere, Grasmere, Thirlmere, Coniston 

 Water, Hawes Water, Windermere, Ennerdale, etc., ascend- 

 ing to 400 yards in Great Langdale. It is a rare plant in the 

 north-eastern counties. 



689. Lobelia Dortmanna, L. Native. Scottish type. 

 Range 1-2. In all the larger lakes and several of the tarns. 

 Windermere, Grasmere, Derwentwater, Ullswater, Thirlmere, 

 Ennerdale Lake, Rydal Water, Coniston Water, Little Lang-
