192 FLORA OF THE LAKE DISTRICT. 



Salix reticulata, L. Recorded by Mr. Sidebotham, 

 Phytol. ii. 316, from a hill over Brothers Water, but I believe 

 the true plant is quite confined to the Scottish Highlands. 

 Mentioned in old lists as occurring in Greystoke Park, but 

 this is, to say the least of it, doubtful. — (W. Hodgson.) 



1027. Salix herbacea,~L. Native. Highland type. Range 4. 

 On the peaks of all the highest slate hills. This and 

 Carex rigida are the two most Arctic plants of the Lake flora. 

 I have a note of its having been found on Helvellyn, Glara- 

 mara, Saddleback, Skiddaw, Grassmoor, Hobcarten Fell, 

 Grisedale Pike, Red Pike, Pillar, Scawfell Pike, and Kidsty 

 Pike. Drawn from The Pillar in Rooke's series. Its lowest 

 limit seems to be 2500-2600 feet. 



1028. Myrica Gale, L. (Sweet Gale). Native. British 

 type. Range 1-2. Frequent in the hill swamps ; ascending 

 from sea-level at Ulverstone to 400 yards on the hills between 

 Rosthwaite and Watendlath (Watson) ; and the Seathwaite 

 hills (Miss Hodgson). 



ORDER CONIFERyE. 



Pinus sylvestris, L. (Scotch Fir). Frequently planted, as 

 are the Spruce and Larch, from sea-level up to 500-600 yards. 



1030. Juniperus communis, L. (Juniper). Native. British 

 type. Range 1-3. Frequent both upon the limestone and 

 slate hills, from Humphrey Head to 550 yards on Great 

 Gable, 600 yards on Haystacks, and 800-900 yards on Hel- 

 vellyn, Grisedale Pike, and Scawfell Pike. 



Var. nana, dwarf and adpressed to the rocks, grows in 

 plenty, with Yew, on the limestone pavement of Whitbarrow, 

 Farleton Knot, and Hutton-Roof.
