it will prove a useful as well as novel ' edging"' from its neat 



habit of growth. 

 Rumex aquaticus (45). R. domesticus. Stony places near 



the Lune between Beckfoot and Kirkby Lonsdale, in Div. 3. 

 Parietaria diffusa (94). Pellitory. Kendal Castle walls, and 



on a crumbling" bank near Underbarrow. Not g-iven for 



Westmorland at all in Baker's Flora. 

 Salix phylicifolia (29). By the river Lune in several places 



below Tebay. 



Juniperus nana (23). On Scout Scar, southern end, as well as 

 the recorded Whitbarrow. I venture to think this ; in its 

 dwarf, lie-to-rock habit ; and broadened, boat-shaped needle 

 leaves ; to be an alteration in character acquired through 

 the stress of exposure to strong" wind and low temperature 

 for goodness knows how many centuries : a ' species ' in the 

 making" rather than one primevally, structurally distinct. 

 In localities more ' leender ' — to use a local term — the 

 ordinary communis bush was frequent. 



Taxus (52). Cunswick and Scout Scar talus. 



Cephalanthera ensifolia (34). Old wood under Cunswick. 



Orchis latifolia (42). Mountain pastures about Lily Mere. 



Allium Scorodoprasum (17). On the Kent bank above and 

 below Haugh's Bridge, three miles south of Kendal. 



Paris quadrifolia (73). Park Spring Wood, Cunswick. 



Tamus (69). About Crossthwaite and Underbarrow. 



Sparganium minimum (54). Cunswick Tarn. Clodium not 

 seen there-round, although looked for, but one corner has 

 become inaccessible through encroachment of Sallows, etc., 

 forming an unsafe swamp. 



Luzula vernalis (108). Cunswick. 



Carex Goodenovii (vulgaris) var. juncella Fries. In tufts by 

 Cunswick Tarn. Also Lilymere. True stricta {Hudsonii) 

 nowhere seen ; and I have little belief in the filamentous- 

 sheathed plant occurring" among" the hills ; although I 

 strongly incline to the view that Linnean ccespitosa will be 

 found to do so. The Bendrigg moorland about Lilymere- 

 an elevated peaty tableland, the g-athering" ground of a 

 reservoir three miles round, while the mere itself is half 

 a mile long — has a peculiar though rather meagre Morula 

 through lack of lowland thermophiles, and calls for 

 thorough investigation at the hands of some resident 

 botanist. Nearest Sedbergh perhaps, it remains an out- 

 o'-the-way shooting ground. The York and Westmorland
