Tilmire, two miles east of York. Likewise in Wheldrake lane, as 
well as on Stockton forest, and most other moors near York. Ross 
and Spalding moors. Everiugham, Melbourne, and other places,

loam and sandy peat. I cultivate specimens of a pure white variety, from two or three localities near 
York. 
2. G. VERNA. Spring Gentian. May. 1/ 
In mountainous situations above Middleton, in Teesdale ; and on 
the south east part of Cronkley fell, on the Yorkshire side of the 
Tees. 
This little plant, one of the most beautiful of Flora’s gems, will grow well in pots or the open border, if 
planted in a mixture of fresh hazel loam and pebbles, even in the smoke of a city. 
On the Durham side of the Tees, thousands of acres are studded with its bright blue flowers. No 
district of the same extent in the kingdom, will reward the Botanist with so rich an harvest as Teesdale. 
Beginning at Greta bridge, you pass through an avenue of lofty elms to Rokeby Park, the seat of J. B. S. 
Morritt, Esq. In the park are many rare plants, with which Mr. Smythis, the gardener, is well acquainted, 
and is at all times ready to point them out to strangers visiting this beautiful place. The walk from 
Rokeby to Barnard Castle, by Egglestone Abbey, is interesting to the Botanist ; he may find Ribes 
petrseum, Geranum lucidum, Gagea lutea, Adoxa Moschatellina, Lathrsea squamaria, Galeobdolon 
luteum, &c. &c. From Barnard Castle to Middleton, in a beautiful walk of ten miles, you pass through 
Lartington, the residence of Henry J. M. Witham, Esq., author of the Internal Structure of Fossil Vege- 
tables, who possesses a most interesting Museum, fitted up in a superior manner, for every department of 
Natural History ; a little way further you come to Cotherstone, near which, at the junction of the Tees 
and the Boulder, grows the rare Saxifraga Hirculus, Gagea lutea, Myrrhis odorata, Saxifraga aizoides, S. 
granulata, &c. &c. From Middleton to Winch bridge, where a chain bridge crosses the Tees, on the 
rocks that here confine the impetuous river, the Botanist will find the Potentilla alpestris, Pyrus Aria, 
Prunus Padus, Thlaspi alpestre, Serratula tinctoria, Equisetum variegatum. Polygonum viviparum; 
and the ground studded with flowers of Trollius europaeus, Potentilla fruticosa, Viola palustris. Primula 
farinosa, Rubus saxatilis, &c. &c. From Winch bridge to High force, one mile. Here is a very comfor- 
table public-house, which has now accommodation for carriages and horses, kept by a person of the name 
of Thomas Scott, who is well acquainted with the localities of all the plants in the neighbourhood. From 
High force to the top of Cauldron Snout, may be found the following plants : — Gentiana verna, Arbutus
