74 A Biographical Notice of Samuel Brewer, the Botanist. 



This is as common, if not more so than the other. It is one of 

 Micheli's, in the Hortus Pisanus. 



" Along the Severn, to a great extent, grows wild the Brassica 

 sylvestris, rapum radice oblongd} and Sinapi siligud latiusculd glabra, 

 &c., 2 of J. Bauhin. We saw here and there, in Shropshire, Sphon- 

 dylium foliis angustioribus, 3 which I believe to be a different species. 



" Near Norbury, four or five miles before we came to Bishop's 

 Castle, grows Pimpinella tenuifolia, of Rivinus/ Pentap. Irr. t. 83. 

 Travelling from Bishop's Castle into Wales, in boggy ground upon 

 the downs of Montgomeryshire, we observed Gramen miliaceum 

 exiguum palustre, paniculd e locustis globularibus minimis constructa, 

 new as I think. Towards Llanydlos, in the hedges, Oxyacantha 

 folio et fructu minor e, noticed, if I mistake not, by Pontedera, 

 Betwixt Llanydlos and Dolgelle, and between the latter and Car- 

 narvon, we observed several new mosses of the Pulmonaria kind ; 

 viz., Pulmonaria arborea minor, Micheli Nov. Gen. t. 45. 5 Liche- 

 noides arboreum foliis late virentibus latis, scute His fuscis, nondescript/ 

 Lichenoides arboreum foliosum, ex cinereo glaucum inferne scabrum.' 



" The best country for Mosses that I ever was in is between 

 Dolgelle and Carnarvon. We might have found a good many new 

 ones there had not the violence of the rain and wind prevented us. 



u We had only one fair day at Dolgelly, on which we ascended 

 the hill of Cader Idris, and found there many of the Welsh plants; 

 but Snowdon has still the preference above this or any other moun- 

 tain I have visited. Campanula alpina, foliis imis rotundioribus* 

 grows there, as well as on Snowdon ; but I think it only a variety 

 of the common one. About the cascades, in ascending the highest
