Unknown. English type. P. June-July. 



1775. Fields, on most heavy soils : several fields about 

 Skircoat Green and Lee Bridge, and several other places 

 about Halifax. — /. Bolton. 



A sparingly distributed species for which there is no other 

 local record. It is so distinct and easily identified as 

 hardly to admit of confusion, so that perhaps the safest 

 conclusion is to accept Bolton's record, and class it with 

 Cerastium quatemellum as extinct. But heavy soils are 

 not the habitat of P. argentea.'] 



Potentilla palustris, Scop. - 99. (Comarum palustre, L.) 

 Native. British type. P. July. 



1775. Several places about Warley Clough ; near St. Ann's
