BOTANICAL NOTES ON A BRADFORD WASTE HEAP. 



JOHN CRYER. 



Through the kindness of Mr. A. B. Jackson, of Kew Gardens^ 

 and Mr. W. B. Turrill, I am able to add the following to the 

 list of aliens which appeared in ' The Naturalist ' for April 1909, 

 Sisymbrium orientale L. (abundant). 

 Trigonella corniculata L. 

 Medicago truncatulata, Gaertn. 

 Medicago lappacea (Desr.). 

 Senecio lauius Forster. 



This plant was firsc recorded for Great Britain by Miss 



Hayward, in the * Report of the Botanical Exchange Club ' 



for 1908. She found it on the banks of the Tweed, near 



Galashiels. 



The writer found a specimen at Bradford in the same 



year. 

 Cousinia tenella Fisch et Mey. 



Mr. A. B. Jackson writes : — ' The Cousinia does not 



appear to have been recorded for these Islands before as an 



alien. ' 

 Datura stramoniimi L. 

 Cannabis sativa L. 

 Panicum miliacium L. 

 Panicmn cf. jumentorum. 



This plant is not recorded in Dunn's ' Alien Flora of 



Britain,' nor in Druce's ' List of British Plants.' 

 Eleusine indica Gaertn. 



Loliiim multiflorum Lam. forma cristata Timm., in ' Deutsch,, 

 IV.', p. clxix. (1887). 



So named by E. Hackel.* This I believe is new tO' 



Great Britain. It was growing in abundance. I also 



found it on a waste heap at Rodley, near Leeds. 



In Aquila, Tome XVI. (Budapest) recently received, Dr. Otto Herman^ 

 the Editor, gives in English an appreciative memoir on the late Prof, 

 Newton, together with copies of several letters which passed between them, 

 principally in reference to bird protection. This particular publication 

 has a number of excellent coloured plates of birds, etc., and lengthy 

 reports in reference to bird migration.
