Record of the more uncommon of the Plants growing in the Neigh- 

 bourhood of Huddersfield. Soil siliceous: sub-soil argilla- 

 ceous. By Peter Inchbald, Esq. 



Ranuncidacem. Ranunculus hederaceus abounds in the ditches 

 and shallow rivulets in the high lands. 



Fumariacece. Fumaria capreolata is frequent amongst bushes and 

 on upland fallows. It adds much to the beauty of the few hedges 

 that this district contains. 



Violecece. The moors in the neighbourhood afford in abundance 

 the Viola palustris. The sweet violet is exceedingly rare in the 

 south-western parts of Yorkshire. 



Caryophyllece. Arenaria rubra, a true sand plant, is very common 

 by road-sides, growing on the very edge of the beaten path. 



Saxifragea. Chrysosplenium alternifolium is plentiful in woods 

 and by the borders of rivulets in the mountainous parts of the West 

 Riding. Saxifraga umbrosa completely naturalized in the woods 

 near Storthes Hall, covering large tracts. 



Rosacece. The woods abound with plants of Rubus Idaeus, which 

 sometimes grow to the height of five or six feet. 



Umbellifer<B. This tribe is but scantily spread over the district. 

 (Enanthe crocata is, however, well worthy of record. 



Ericaceae. Vaccinimn Myrtillus is very plentiful on turfy soil in 

 the woods around Huddersfield. Pyrola media occurs but sparingly.
