Not found in recent years, though further search may re- 

 discover it in old pastures in some, of its former stations.

 1867. Meadows and pastures, Ogden. — /. Walker. 



The only record not only for Halifax, but apparently for 

 the Calder valley ; but as the three common native 

 thistles are all named in the same list, and C. crispus 

 might reasonably be expected to occur here, there seems 

 no other reason to doubt the record, but confirmation is 

 desirable.]
