Mr. W INCH 's Flora of Northumberland, &c. Weighell's Herbarium, marked the county Durham. — Mrs. S. Brand.

Wallis, at p. 186, mentions Cnicus acaulis, as "not unfrequent in mountainous pastures and on dry banks," but never having met with this plant in the north of England, and our sub-alpine pastures being an unlikely situation for this native of the chalky downs of the south; I conclude the author of the History of Northumberland, must have mistaken the species.
