132 2. , L. Native. English type. Area D. Range 1.

We claim this as a true native only for the denes of the Magnesian Limestone country. In Cheviot-land it is quite a rare plant, having been seen by Mr. Tate only in Hulne Woods and by Mr. Embleton near Ellingham. In Tyneland it is quite scattered, but in Durham more frequent, especially about Darlington, Middleton-one-Row, Stockton, and Yarm.

3. , L. Native. Xerophilous. English type. Area C. N, D. Range 1.

Not unfrequent amongst the limestone and basalt, ascending in Teesdale to 300 yards, and occasionally found upon the coast links, as at Cullercoats and Tynemouth.

4. , Fries. Native. British type. Area C, N, D. Range 1-3.

Common upon hedge-banks and in grassy places, ascending to 600 yards on Cheviot, 650 yards on Highfield. The subspecies V. Reichenbachiana, Jord., is abundant in Dinsdale Woods and no doubt elsewhere.

5. , L. Native. British type. Area N. Range 1.

The only specimens of this from our district which we have seen were gathered by Mrs. J.G. Baker upon the coast sand-hills between Hartley and Whitley, but it is very liable to be passed over for the preceding.

6. , D.C. Native. Local type. Area D. Range 2.

In Teesdale plentiful upon the Sugar Limestone of Widdy Bank Fell and westward north of the Weel. Elevation 500-550 yards. Discovered by James Backhouse and James Backhouse, jun., of York. In the type the leaves are hairy, but in our plant nearly naked.

7. , L. Colonist. British type. Area C, N, D. Range 1-2.

Common in cultivated fields, ascending to 850 feet in Teesdale, in Weardale above St. John's Chapel to 1000 feet.
