Peucedanum sativum in Cumberland.— Referring to Miss Armitt's 

 note in the November number, page 352, as to the finding of this plant at 

 Silloth, in October last, I may add that I found it at the place indicated by 

 Miss Armitt in July 1901, and recorded the fact in the April number of the 

 ' Naturalist ' this year, pag-e 129. It is also worth mentioning that the late 

 Mr. Hodgson, of Workington, sent me a specimen of the plant in 1899, 

 which he had found on some ballast at Maryport. In a book of Mr. 

 Hodgson's (now in my possession) there is a note in his own writing against 

 this plant, ' Railway slope near the Armstrong Range, Silloth,' but unfor- 

 tunately there is no date given, though I have no doubt that that note 

 refers to a 'find' prior to the publication of his 'Flora of Cumberland.' —

Plants seen in North-East Yorkshire (V.C. 62) in August 1002.— 



For ten days I was at Robin Hood's Bay and think the following notes may 

 be of interest. I have marked with an asterisk (*) plants not mentioned in 

 Baker's ' North Yorkshire ' : — 



Ranunculus eircinatus. At Malton (Dist. 3 of Baker). 

 ''Ranunculus Flammula var. repens. In very good condition at Pilmoor 

 (Dist. 2). 



* Papaver Rhceas var. Pryorii (Druce). At Brafferton (Dist. 2) and Cundall 

 (Dist. 8). 



Sinapis nigra. At Malton (Dist. 3). 

 *Spzrcea Uhnaria var. denudata. At Mallion's Spout, Goathland (Dist. 4). 

 '■'Artemisia vulgaris var. coarctata. Frequent in Districts 4 (Robin Hood's 



Bay) and 8 (Cundall and Topcliffe). 

 *Senecio viscosus. Near Whitby (Dist. 4). 

 Mentha piperita. Robin Hood's Bay (Dist. 4). 

 Lamium purpureum fl. albo. At Cundall (Dist. 8). 

 ''Polygonum Convolvulus var. pseudo-dumetoru in. Cundall (Dist. 8).

Sedum villosum at Ingleborough. —The Rev. Mr. Riddelsdell's 

 remarks on this subject in his paper ('Naturalist,' November 1902, p. 337- 

 342) on ' Plants in the Bicheno Herbarium,' have drawn my attention to the 

 matter. I am able to report that specimens of ^. villosum L. — rather poor 

 ones, but unquestionable — were gathered at Helln (Alum) Pot in 1894 by my 

 friend Mr. Reginald J. Farrer, of Ingleborough Hall, and are now in my 

 herbarium. Mr. Farrer's full label with them is — ' Helln Pot, on Ing-le- 

 borough, 2nd Sept. 1894.' Found on the same day and in the same ramble 

 as my first specimens of Arenaria gothica Fr. R. J. F.' 



'I he Bicheno specimen endorsement apparently gives ' Ingleborough ' 

 simply, without any more precise indication of locality. Whether, therefore, 

 it continues the Ray record for (I copy from ' Synopsis Methodica Stirpium 

 Britannicarum : Editio Tertia : 1724') 'on the moist Rocks about Jugle- 

 borough-Hill, as you go from the Hill towards Horton in Ribbles-Dale , in 

 a Ground where Peat is got in great plenty,' or Mr. Woodward's authority 

 in the (Old) 'Botanist's Guide' by Turner and Dillwyn — published 1805 — 

 'Close by Weathercote Cove,' or whether it represents an independent 

 station does not appear. 



The Ray locality is most distinctly connected with the mountain itself, 

 and apparently belongs to its directly eastward slope. Weathercote Cove 

 is near the north-western base of Ingleborough ; Helln Pot in a similar 

 position on 'its north-east. Mr. Bicheno's station may have been one of 

 these, or a similar though not identical one, and still be rightly though 

 vaguely described as ' Ingleborough. ' Anyhow, Mr. Farrer's specimens 

 supply, if not an entirely new locality for the species, at any rate confirma- 

 tion of one which (vide Mr. Riddelsdell's list, and also ' Flora of West 

 Yorkshire.') has not been corroborated for at least seventy years. — William 

 WHITWELT , Unde'rhili, Lower Hag-ley, Worcestershire, 17th Now 1902.
