Of Rubiaceae, Galium boreale grows on the islands of
Windermere and Asperula cynenchica is found on
Whitbarrow.
Of Umbelliferae, Sium angustifolium is common in the
streams, and Myrrhis odorata is by no means rare in old
orchards and elsewhere.
Of Compositae, Apargia hispida is common and very handsome;
Sonchus palustris occurs in some marshy places; Crepis
paludosa is frequent in wet woods; Hieracium alpinum is
found on Langdale Pikes; H. lawsoni, on Kirkstone Pass; H.
inuloides, in mountain rills; H. sylvaticum and boreale are
common; but we are not able to give a list of all the
mountain species of Hawkweed which may be found in the
district; the lower range of fells, near the lake, are not
likely to produce any rare species, but the higher series,
Fairfield, High Street, Hill Bell, &c., would be very
likely to repay a more careful search than has hitherto been
made. Serratula tinctoria is plentiful on the shores of the
lake; Carduus heterophyllus grows in Troutbeck, Carlina
vulgaris on Whitbarrow; Centaurea nigrescens is not
unfrequent on dry banks; Bidens cernua is found in
Crosthwaite; Eupatorium cannabinum is everywhere common;
Gnaphalium dioicum and sylvaticum are abundant, the former
on mountain heaths, the latter in woods; Petastites vulgaris
is found in several places; Senecio saracenicus grows near
Newby Bridge, and in some old orchards, but it is probably
not indigenous; Inula conyza is abundant on the Whitbarrow
Fells.
Of Campanulaceae, Campanula latifolia is not unfrequent
