ORDER PRIMULACE^i. 



878. Primula vulgaris, Huds. (Primrose). Native. British 

 type. Range 1-2. Woods and thickets. Common everywhere 

 in the lower zone ; ascending to the limestone pavement of 

 Whitbarrow, and 400 yards in Great Langdale. 



880. Primula veris, L. (Cowslip). Native. British type. 

 Range 1. Common in pastures throughout the lower zone. 

 The hybrid oxlip (P. variabilis, Goupil, Lady Candlestick ; 

 Cow Sinkin, often in times past mistaken for P. elatior, 

 J acq.) is common throughout the Lake district. 



881. Primula farinosa, L. (Mealy Primrose). Native. 

 Intermediate type. Range 1-2. Swampy fields. Common 

 about Windermere, and round Ullswater, ascending up 

 Troutbeck to the top of Kirkstone Pass (500 yards). 

 Plentiful also about Kendal, Shap, and Kirkby Lonsdale. It 

 occurs also on Arnside Knot, Catlands near Wigton, in St. 

 John's Vale, and in a few places in West Cumberland, but is 

 not found on the Keswick, Penrith, and Coniston hills, and 

 Miss Hodgson altogether omits it from her catalogue of Fur- 

 ness plants. 



Trientalis europaa, L. Hudson specially mentions 

 this as a Westmoreland plant, and Aiton says it has been 

 found amongst the hills in the north-west of Furness. It is 

 frequent in North Yorkshire.
