stabler: hepatic^ and MUSCI of WESTMORLAND. 317

 between Troutbeck and Ambleside, as mentioned by W. Hud- 

 son where I found it in 1782 ; J. E. Smith.'

In this work seven mosses and two hepatics are recorded for 

 Westmorland. They are : — Splachmim sphoericum P Muse. 

 Hib., Grimmia piisilla Sm., Trichostonium fontinaloides Huds., 

 N'eckei'a piimila H., B?'ytim crudum L., Hypniim loreum L.. 

 Fontinalis squamosa L., Jimgermania to/?ientella, and J. 

 la?iceolaia Weiss. 



All of these, except the last, had been previously recorded. 

 Of J. lariceolata it is said, ' woods and moist shady places 

 (Westmorland) ; Hudson.' This remark would lead one to 

 suppose that this species is not rare. Twelve years ago 

 I found it near Windermere with its characteristic siphon-like 

 colesules. In no other place have I seen it growing. It will 

 be seen that I have doubt as to the plant of Hudson being 

 the true one. In this I am supported by a remark of Sir 

 W. J. Hooker's in the British Flora, vol. ii (1833), p. 108, in 

 which he says : ' Of this {J. lanceolata) I have never seen 

 British specimens \ and I suspect the authors just mentioned 

 (Hudson, Withering, and Lightfoot) may have mistaken 

 some other species for it,' and Dr. Carrington remarks 

 that Mylia anomala was long confounded with J. lanceolata 

 Brit. Hep.

In this work the following six species are given as Westmorland 

 plants : — 



^ Juiigermania lanceolata L.' \_- LiochlaJia lanceolata^ pi. 18. 

 Under this. Hooker says : " I am induced to represent the 

 species in this work rather with a view of calling the attention 

 of botanists of my country to what I conceive to be the true 

 J. lanceolata of Linnaeus than from the conviction of its ever 

 having been found in Britain." The true plant was afterwards 

 found by Borrer at Tun bridge Wells and by Dr. Spruce in 

 the upper part of the vale of the Yorkshire Esk (Cronkley 

 Gill), December 1847, and was first figured and described 

 from British specimens by him in Eng. Bot. Supp., Oct. 

 1848.
