78 A Biographical Notice of Samuel Brewer, the Botanist. 



bottom of it, on the east side, in a meadow, Campanula foliis 

 cymbalarice} in plenty. In a lake at the foot of Gribgoch I found 

 Rotamogeton lapathi minoris foliis pellucidis, D. Llwyd. 2 On the 

 green pastures near the top of Gribgoch I could find nothing like a 

 Bistorta folio vario, 3 but an Acetosa lanceolato folio glabro spisso, 

 obtuso et vix auriculato , 4 in great plenty, which I have seen on other 

 hills in Wales, and found only one specimen in flower. The lower 

 leaves are very small, and roundish ; that on the stalk broad at the 

 base, long and tapering to a sharp point. Whether Parkinson mis- 

 took this for a Bistorta I cannot assert. His figure does not agree 

 with my specimen. I brought plants with me and shall see ne^t 

 year what they come to. The Rieracium latifolium uno vel altero 

 fore, 5 is only a variety of the common Pulmonaria gallica. 6 Not 

 far from Llanberis Church, along the road, grows a Gentianella 

 pilosa, fore semper quadripartito, 7 very different from pratensis flore 

 languinoso of C. Bauhin. I find specimens of one amongst Consul 

 Sherard's, gathered near Malham, which agree with this, except that 

 the Malham ones seem to have the flowers divided into five segments. 

 If I had a loose specimen or two I could better determine the differ- 

 ence. Our guide not being so well acquainted with the Glyder as 

 with the hills on the other side, we could not get to the place where 

 the Bullosa alpina juncifolia, grows. 8 Nor could we find, on the 

 south side, of Llyn y Cown, the Hierackm mentioned to grow there ; 9 



1 Campanula hederacea. 



2 Raii Syn., 150, n. 16; possibly P. heterop/iyllum, Engl. Rot., t. 1285. 



3 A variety of Polygonum vivijparum found here by Parkinson. 



4 May be a variety of Rumex Acetosa, a very variable plant, if there be not 

 more than one species confounded under it. 



6 Baii Syn., 170, n. 13. 



6 Hieraceum sylvaticum. 



7 This may have been a four-cleft variety of G. Amarella. 



8 Anthericum serotinum. 



9 See Rati Syn., 168, n. 7. Gerarde's plant is Cineraria integrifolia. Dr. 

 Kichardson's, found at Llyn y Cwm, appears by his own specimen to be H. 

 sylvaticum, /3. Tr. Linn. 8oc., v. 9, 240.
