112 FLORA OF THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. 



679. Apium inundatum. Reichb. fil., 96. 



Native, Brit., i, 7. July, IV. 



Skipwith (W.N.C.), and Arram Beck (1898).* 



680. Cicuta virosa. Linn., 37. 



Native, Eng., 7. July- 



Rare. Pond at Langwith, and marshy places near Kexby 



and Elvington (H. Ibbotson, vide Baker's Sup. to Baines' 



Flora, 1856). 



684. C. Seg'etum. Benth and Hook, fit., 45. 

 (Corn Parsley). 



Native, Eng-., 2. Aug., II. 



Frequent in Holderness, chiefly by drain sides. " Said 

 to be common near Hull " (B.). Common enough by Skidby 

 Drain, adjacent to Beverley Road, Hull.* Burstwick, 

 Holderness (C.W., 1897).* Specimens from cornfields near 

 Hull are in the York Museum (collector, W. Brunton ; date, 

 1800). 



685. C. Carvi. Linn. 

 (Caraway). 



Alien. July, III. 



Escaped from cultivation. " Granswick " ( ? Hutton 

 Cranswick) (J. Ray, 2nd Itinerarv, 1661). Ditches near 

 Hull (R.T., 1798). The late E. R'iley, who farmed on the 

 wolds during a long period, informed me that he had grown 

 it as a crop. Frequent between Hull and Hessle in the 

 fifties, the children of Hull were accustomed to gather and 

 nibble the seeds. Mr. J. R. Boyle, F.S.A., the custodian of 

 the Hull Corporation Records, says that certain fields in the 

 west part of Hull are mentioned in deeds as "carvi " fields, 

 which facts, taken together with the rarity of the plant else- 

 where, indicate the exotic origin of caraway. The plant is 

 now only found amongst the numerous dock-side aliens. 



687. Sison Amomum. Linn., 54. 



(Bastard Stone-parsley). 



Native, Eng., 6. Aug., II. 



In moist places near Hull (B.); unknown here now. I 



suspect there has been a mistake with C. segetum, so similar 



a plant, but Mr. J. Beanland records it for near Howden, and 



this is our only station.
