644 PLANTS COLLECTED NEAR HUDDERSFiELD. [^December, 



LiLiACEiE. — A friend has shown me specimens of Ornitho- 

 galwn umbellatum, gathered about six miles off, 



HYDRocHARiDACBiE. — ^Sagittaria sagittifolia is a magnificent 

 object in the pond at MilnesbridgCj recorded by Baines. It is 

 literally studded with it, and when in flower has a very fine 

 appearance. 



Amaryllidace^. — About four miles from here, in the direc- 

 tion of Woodsome, Galanthus nivalis is found in considerable 

 plenty, along with *NarcissMs Pseudo-Narcissus. 



Iridace^. — Last Saturday afternoon we came upon a real 

 prize, in the shape of Crocus nudiflorus. I only met with one 

 flower, but I hear that other botanists have supplied themselves 

 from the same place, but have left the roots, so that we may 

 hope for the reappearance of the plant. I cannot think it intro- 

 duced where I found it. 



Amaranthace^. — I suspect one of the plants found on the 

 rubbish-heap to be Amaranthus retroflexus, but am uncertain, 

 and shall be glad of your opinion on the matter. 



Labiate. — Leonurus Cardiaca has been gathered near here by 

 Mr. Inchbald of Storthes Hall. 



SoLANACE.E. — On the rubbish-heap before mentioned occurs 

 ^Solanum nigrum. 



ApocYNACEiE. — *Vinca minor is found in the greatest profu- 

 sion in Storthes Hall woods, along with "^Saxifraga umbrosa. 



Lythrace^. — Lythrum hyssopifolium has been found near the 

 place where Polypodium tnonspeliensis has been discovered. 



Composite. — At the rubbish-heap which I mentioned before, 

 there are very fine plants of Senecio erucifolius, of which I have 

 about three specimens. S. saracenicus grows in some plenty 

 near Lepton, about three miles from here. 



Umbellifer^. — Myrrhis odorata is found on the banks of 

 the Calder, near Mirfield, and between that place and Colne 

 Bridge. 



Rosacea and PoMACEiE. In Grimescar Wood, a large extent 

 of forest about a mile and a half from here, there are several 

 very fine trees of Sorbus Aria. I have also met with examples 

 of the form Geum intermedium, of your Manual, near Mirfield. 



Leguminifer^. — *Medicago denticulata, M. miniina, and M. 

 sativa are all found near one another in the locality previously 

 recorded in the ' Phytologist.' Melilotus officinalis is also found 

 there.
