THE FLORA OF HALIFAX. 



IO7 



Infrequent, in woods and fields, too conspicuous not to be a 

 diminishing species ; in part it may be a denizen, but it is 

 also a native, and has formerly been abundant. It now 

 occurs at Coley Hall ; in Wheatley Valley ; Hollins 

 Wood ; Sage Wood, Soyland and fields adjoining ; 

 Rish worth ; Cragg Vale ; Broadbottom, Wadsworth ; 

 Beverley Wood, near Eastwood. It formerly grew in 

 Bankhouse Wood, Salterhebble ; and about Aniker Pit 

 and in Daffodil Wood, in Upper Shibden.
