28 Hornungiapetraea,Pyrolar. rotundifoliand Silenenutansalthough all the sites with exposures of this rock were above average. Typical species such as Aspleniumviride,Carexlepidocarpa,Coelogiosaumviride,Cochlearia officinali ssp alpina,Epipactisatrorubens,Galiumsterneri,Geranium sanguineum,Gymocarpiumrobertianum,Hypericu montanum,Minuartiaverna, Primulafarinoca,Rubiaperegrina,Selaginellaselaginoides,Sesleria m. minuswere found more generally caerulea,Sorhusrupicolaand Thal-z:ctrur. andthe endemic whitebeam, Sorbuslancastriensis has a small population at Meathop (8172) in Cumbria. - Other upland areas supported local species, Meconopaiscambricawas found at two places high in the Welsh hills, and Pyrolaminorand Festucavivipara in Cumbria. The lines of North Wales and Cumbria tend to follow the coast and several sites-had fragments of salt-marsh, or more rarely sand-dune and cliff. Nearly one .fifth of the new species found in 1979 were maritime plants,but most were the common and widespread taxa. Catapodiumarinumwas found at two points on the Merioneth coast, Limoniumhumileoccurred by the line over the E. Esk estuary in Cumbria, Equisetumvariegatumwhere the line crosses the Anglesey dunes,and LathyrussylVestriswas regular on grassy banks all along the west coast. Interesting aliens included Erinusalpinusand Rumexscutatuson limestone cuttings north of Clitheroe and a good population of Tetragonolobus maritimusat Rushbeds Wood (8111) in Buckinghamshire. Arenariabalearica grew on a wall in Southport, a further record of Bromusinermiswas made at Pentre Aaron (R178), Tellimagrandiflorawas found at Singret (8138) near Wrexham and Melling (R227),in north Lancashire, and Yeatucalongifbliawas recorded in several places in the southern part of the Region. Amongst other interesting plants seen was Alliumscorodoprasumat 2 sites. in the Ellen valley east of Maryport,and a particular feature of the 1979 data was the presence of 3 maritime species in localities well removed from the sea. Cochleariadanicagrew at Snowford Junction (B125) in .Warwickshire and at King's Langley (R123) in Hertfordshire. Cerastium diffusumwas widespread in the west Midlands growing on cinder by the cess, a habitat .where Carexarenariawas common in North.Wales, and occasionaLin.. Lancashire and Cumbria. The dumping of sea-sand at Emscote Power Station (B121) added other maritime species in an inland locality, but,even without this interference,BR provides artificial shingle-banks and sand-flats through ballast and cinder throughout the Region. NOtable records were made for some fairly common species outside their normal range: liciatetraspermanear Portmadoc, Cerastiumarvensejust south of Crewe and Calamagrostiscaneccenson the Wirral, and some new data were gathered on the typically railway species previously discussed (Sargent & Mountford 1979). Equisetumarvensewas apparently ubiquitous, and-Senecio squaliduswas widespread. Chaenorhinuminusalso occurred throughout.the Region,with an interesting record at nearly ICOO'asl (Lodge-Hall (8173)). Linariarepenswas common in west and central Wales and occurred at isolated localities in Lancashire (Silverdale (8I71)) and Cumbria (Low Borrowbridge (R231)). Vulpiamyuroswas.abundant on cinder in North Wales where the Atlas. of the British Flora shows it to be local or rare, and it occurred occasionally elsewhere in the Region.
