7© THE FLORA OF HALIFAX. 



1690. On the moors south of Heptenstall in the way to 

 Burnley, in great plenty for near a mile's riding. —Ray ; Syn. 



1775. Allen Wood in Norland; North Dean in Greetland, 

 in a rough place near Birks Hall in Ovenden Wood, and 

 in Hathershelf Scout in Sowerby. — /. Bolton. 



These earlier records are under the name P. rotundifolia, 

 from which P. media was not then separated. 



1828. Ray's plant, found plentifully about Halifax, is P. 

 media, of which I have received fine specimens from Mr. 

 R. Leyland, of that town, who first detected the error. — 

 Sir J. E. Smith ; English Flora. 



Rough Hey near Ripponden, North Dean Wood, &c ; 

 Stiperden Clough near Todmorden, &c. — Herb. Leyland. 



1841. North Dean; Warley Moor. — Herb. S.K. 



1877. Woods above Mytholm Church. — A. Stansfield. 



1888. Horsebridge Clough, (Hebden Bridge). — F. A. Lees. 



The numerous records point to the comparative rarity of 

 this plant, which is only found in about three other places 

 in West Yorkshire, but which has been relatively abun- 

 dant and widely distributed in the upper Calder valley. 

 There has been some confusion of this and P. minor, but 

 as regards the North Dean station, not only Bolton's 

 statement, but the herbarium specimens prove that both 

 existed there, though only P. minor is now found. As to the 

 other stations it is extinct at North Bridge and Birks 

 Hall, which are both in the borough of Halifax, but may 

 still remain at any of the others. It is known to be still 

 in the Hebden valley and in Cragg Vale. 



Pyrola minor, L. — 68. Lesser Winter-green. 

 Native. Scottish type. P. June-July.

 Dean, in Greetland, along with the common Pyrola. 



1833. North Dean Wood, Greetland; Hood Hole in 

 Hareley Wood, near Todmorden. — Herb. Leyland. 



1841. North Dean. — Jos. Tate; Herb. S.K.
