WEST YORKSHIRE BOTANICAL NOTES. 



I.ISTKK ROTUKKAV. 

 I.ouf; Preston. 



The followini^- list of West Yorkshire plant localities is intended 

 to serve as a complementary one to ' Lees' Flora of West 

 Yorkshire.' Those marked with an asterisk '"' are new additions 

 to the river drainas^e areas in which they occur, whilst the 

 others, thoui^h additional records, mostly show their wider 

 distribution in their separate drainaj^e areas than is given in 

 that excellent work. 0\\ this account they will perhaps prove 

 interesting" to West \'orkshire botanists generally, as showing 

 that many species therein given have a wider range of occur- 

 rence than is often supposed. Some few records are not my 

 own ; in such cases the authority for them is given, specimen 

 plants having' either been shown or given to me from the 

 localities named in corroboration of the truth oi the record. 

 With these few exceptions the others are my own observations. 

 The arrangement of the species is that of the 9th edition of the 

 ' London Catalogue of British Plants.'
