Head, and many other places.

the islands of Windermere.
Of Leguminifereae, Genista tinctoria is very abundant and
beautiful in heathy places; Hippocrepis comosa is found at
Grange.
Of Rosaceae, Prunus padus is common; Spiraea salicifolia
grows near the Ferry Inn, but this is doubtless introduced,
as this plant is now found to be nowhere indigeneous in
Great Britain; Rubus suberectus is found in woods and
sometimes on open mountain sides; R. saxatilis occurs in a
few places; R. idoeus rhamnifolius, lucostachys and rudis
are the most common species of Rubus here; R. chamaemorus
grows in Long Sleddale; we have seen Rosa spinosissima in a
few places; R. villosa is very common.

abound in the lake.
Of Grossulariaceae, Ribes rubrum and grossulara are
plentiful in the woods.

common; S. Rhodiola grows on Fairfield; and Cotyledon

Of Saxifragaceae, Saxifraga aizoides stellaris, and
hypnoides are found on the mountain tops: we have not seen
S. oppositifolia nearer than Helvellyn; S. platypetala grows
on the heights of Fairfield; Chrysoplenium alternifolium is
also found by some rivulets; Parnassia palustris is very
abundant.
