ON THE YORKSHIRE COAST 63 



Every species of tree and shrub contained in 

 the following pages, with the exception of the 

 Tamarisk and A triplex Halimus, have been 

 noticed as growing on the Yorkshire coast. Care 

 has been taken not to include any, with the above 

 exceptions, which have not been observed in one 

 place or another. There may be others which 

 are not included, but there is herein contained 

 abundance of material to answer the purpose of 

 any selection for planting that may be required. 



The Tamarisk and Atriplex Halimus have 

 been included, as the former is often mentioned 

 as a valuable seaside plant, and it is such on the 

 southern and south-eastern coasts, but it does not 

 appear to be much known in the north ; the Atri- 

 plex also succeeds well in similar situations. Both 

 these might be tried in some of the more sheltered 

 places by the sea in the north. 



In addition to the generic, the popular names 

 as far as possible have been given. The native 

 habitat and date of introduction when imported 

 of each species have been added as matters of 

 interest to the readers, and the character of the 

 tree or shrubs, as deciduous or evergreen, to 

 simplify arrangements for planting. 



Wherever the height of Conifers is given, the 

 figures represent the average height of each in its 

 native habitat. Great care has been taken to 

 render this descriptive list as accurate as possible.
