Alchimilla alpha pentaphyllos. Raii Syn. p. 1 58. | 
This fpecies, which far excels the other in beauty, % 
is by no means fo frequent. I firH found it on a | 
hill called Lime-Jlone Knot, in Long fhdale, a y 
place mentioned by Wilson, in his Synopfs, | 
further on in Longjledale , or, as it is there called, % 
Longjleddel , on the high and romantic rocks |

Bugloffum latifolium fempervirens. Raii Syn. p.

From the paucity of places in which this plant was - 
‘ faid to have been found wild, and the fufpicion . 
which refted on fome of thofe, I had entertained : 
doubts of its being a native of this country : . 
thofe were entirely removed on my finding it tole- : 
rably plentiful in the lanes about GiggleJ'wick, and ' 
in the road between Settle and Ingleton.

Verbafculum umbellatum alpinum minus. Raii

Grows every where with the Pinguicula. A variety, 
with white blofloms, has not unfrequently been

gathered fpecimens a foot and a half high.

plenty i h Coni/lone Dib, in a low wood, under

In the wet ditches betwixt Kendal and Longjledale ,

Yorklhire. 
I 38. ScandiK odorata. Sweet Cicely, 
t Cerefolium magnum live Myrrhis. Ger. ernac. p. 
io 39 - . 
This plant is not mentioned by Mr. Ray in his 
Synopfs ; and Mr. Hudson introduces it as a 
doubtful native. The fituations in which I found 
it clearly convinced me, it had a good title to be 
confidered as a native of Great Britain ; and I 
was confirmed in my opinion by the common 
people, who find it wild in many places in the 
greateft plenty, and call it by the name of Sweet - 
cifs, an abbreviation of Cicely. They rub their 
furniture with it, to give it a glofs. It is com- 
mon under the Hone-walls about Settle, at the 
entrance into Kilnfay , and in Wbitfell Gill , near 
Afrig.

Ros lolis folio rotundo. Raii Syn. p. 356. 
42. Drofer a long folia. Long-leaved Sun-dew. 
Ros folis folio oblongo. Raii Syn. p. 356. 
I found thefe two fpecies plentifully in the North ; 
but no where in greater plenty, or perfection, 
than on Brigfear Mofs, near Kendal, where 
they, grow to twice or thrice the fize they ufually 
acquire with us ; but in other refpefts appeared to 
me to afford no truly fpecific character. It is- 
very proabable, that the three fpecies enumerated 
in Ray, in addition to the above, will be found 
to be varieties only. 
Alium arenarium ? Sand Garlic. 
Allium fylveHre amphicarpon foliis porraceis, flori- 
bus et nucleis purpureis. Raii Syn. p. 370. 
44. Allium oleraceum ? Herbaceous Garlic. 
Allium fylveflre bicorne flore ex herbaceo albicante 
cum triplici in lingulis petalis Bria atro-purpurea. 
Raii Syn. p. 370. 
Thefe two fpecies of Garlic being out of flower 
when difeovered, I dare not be pofitive about 
them. The firH grew fparingly, in a paHure at 
the back of the Babies belonging to the Dun 
Horfe, Ingleton, kept by Mr. Warmer, at whofe 
houfe every traveller finds himfelf at home. The 
latter grew alfo fparingly among rocks, in the 
Girling \ Trough , near Con if one, Kilnfay.
