1858.] PLANTS COLLECTED NEAR HUDDERSFIELD. 643 



siders H. campestre, Bruch^ a species very closely allied to H. 

 salebrosum, Hoffmann^ the cliaracters of which^ as given in 

 ' Bryologia Britannica/ appear rather too vague and indefinite to 

 enable one^ not actually acquainted with it, to accurately deter- 

 mine its identity ; its decision is therefore at present left in abey- 

 ance. This notice, however, of its supposed occurrence in this 

 locality, may serve to stimulate others to make further searcb, 

 in the hopes of its being again detected. Mr. Mitten, whose 

 vigilance and accuracy permit little to escape his notice, has, I 

 believe, already found it in Sussex. 



I have just received from my friend Mr. Palgrave a package 

 of Mosses, amongst which I find one named " Hypnwn examm- 

 latum," gathered in May, 1823, in woods at Eoslyn, and which 

 certainly, as I believe, is identical with H. commutatum, var. /3 

 condensatum, the plant already discussed. Mr. P. also remarks 

 in his letter, " This is what used to be called H. aduncum, but 

 Mr. Wilson says the true H. aduncum is not indigenous!" 



It is to be hoped however that these observations, with my 

 own crude remarks, may induce Mr. W. to favour your readers 

 with some further details in elucidation of these very difficult 

 and anomalous species.

I have marked with an asterisk those plants of which I have 

 a few duplicates, and shall be glad to exchange with such of your 

 correspondents as may desire specimens. 



Order Gramine^e. — On a heap of rubbish, about a mile out 

 of town, I have found many plants (some of Avhich I am unable 

 to make out), and amongst them the rare Grasses Digitaria 

 sanguinalis, Setaria viridis, S. verticillata. I was along with 

 Mr. Hobkirk when we discovered Chloris compressa and *Pha- 

 laris paradoxa.

 stated in Baines's ' Flora,' and likewise near Kirkheaton.
