1JO THE FLORA OF HALIFAX. 



It is near the var. orthophyllum, Milde., but differs 

 in the terminal leaves being much longer and more 

 flexuose, concave but not tubular, strongly toothed 

 both on margin and back. It is a plant I have 

 frequently gathered here (W. Lane), and have 

 usually regarded it as coming between the type and 

 the var. ovthophyllum. You had better put it on 

 record in your paper, as the Channel Island plant 

 was only recorded in a French article."

in great quantity, road side bank, Wood Lane, a little 

 below Catherine House, Luddenden Dean, 1900 ! A 

 very variable species, its extremes being exceedingly 

 dissimilar. Mr. Wheldon, to whom the Luddenden Dean 

 specimens were submitted, sent a form gathered on the 

 grit-fells of Lancashire, to which ours bears but little 

 resemblance.

Always barren here. The fruit is rare in all districts. It 

 grows in dense convex cushions 6-12 inches, or more, 

 across. There are some fine tufts in the Hardcastle 

 woods on the low side of the road, between the Lodge and 



Gibson Mill.
