Lees : Spring 1 s Pageant in Westmorland and Lancashire. 279 



as the red poppies of the field. Its seeds soon lose their 

 power of germinating, although dropping - where the capsule 

 ripens a moiety come up next season, and, being hardy as 

 regards cold, if the ground is bare, carry on the race. 

 Perennial certainly, but the root-stock is not long-lived. 

 Chelidonium majus (96). Much more like a native, though 

 generally considered not. Noted at Crossthwaite and up 

 Mintdale. 



Arabis hirsuta (96). Cunswick Scar, Haugh's Bridge. 

 Lepidium hirtum (88). Blakebank and Crossthwaite ' Colony 

 demesne.' 



Helianthemum marifolium (9). West face of Scout Scar. 

 Viola sylvestris (Reichenbachiana) (51). The prevailing form 



in the calcareous-soiled woods. 

 Stellaria nemorum (47). Mintdale, and on hedge banks by 



road above Haugh's Bridge away from the stream. 

 Arenaria verna (28). Seen only on the tabular limestone of 



Scout and Cunswick Scars and Helsfell. 

 Geranium sylvaticum (56). Mintdale, above Beck Mill. 

 Geranium columbinum (76). In plenty about Crossthwaite 



' Church town.' 

 Geranium lucidum (93). In plenty most everywhere. 

 Impatiens Noli-me-Tangere (24). The Hindson station of 



Baker's Flora — ' Ghyll near Whittington Hall ' — south-west 



of Kirkby Lonsdale, is in Vice-County 60, West Lancaster. 



I saw plants in a Kendal garden brought thence. 

 Vicia Bobartii (92). Banks in the Winster and Gilpin basins 



chiefly. \Genista anglica looked out for but not seen.] 

 Prunus padus (68). The Bride of the Spring is nigh every- 

 where about Kendal the loveliest ornament of scar, wood, 



and ravine thicket alike. 

 Geum rivale (93). Underbarrow and Crossthwaite, hybridising 



with G. urbanum, but some years (as this one) like the oak 



and the ash, rivale precedes urbanum in flowering by two 



or three weeks. 



Fragaria elatior.* The old high- wood Strawberry of gardens 

 occurs rather plentifully and seeming naturalised on high 

 grassy banks of the road between Scar foot and Under- 

 barrow. No cots near, now. With it grows Aspleniutn 

 Adiantum-nigrum and other true wildings, making a most 

 deceptive combination. 



Poterium officinale (64). Frequent by water in Kent valley, 



1900 September i .
