The Heron- Bills of Yorkshire. 



woody and branched somewhat like Hippocrepis, being peren- 

 nial, leaves smoothish pinnated with straight lobations, 

 velutinal and glandose and so having a ' ram ' or goaty smell. 

 Umbels 2-6-flowered, petals largish, conspicuous being bright 

 rose, paler veined, or nearly white, with purple veining as in 

 Geranium laucastriense. Not seen on the skin-yard tips]. 



E. Manescavi Boub. (Correvon, p. 38). — From Basses — 

 Pyrenees. Rootstock carrot-like, from which spring pubescent 

 pinnate serrati-lobed leaves like a glorified E. moschatum. 

 Flower-stems erect, in umbel of 10 or more pedicilled, largish, 

 rosy-petalled flowers. Found semi-naturalised in a south-facing 

 neglected quarry hole at Roundhay, conveyed there with raking 

 from a fine garden, not, I fancy, deliberately introduced as 

 Geranium Endressi was at Woodson; e near Huddersfield, and 

 the West Meanwoodside grounds of tne late lamented travel- 

 ler, Oates, who lost his life in the Antarctic. In the same 

 demesne planned and planted quite 60 to 80 years ago by 

 his sires, Potentilla canadensis, Rubus spectabilis, Cornus 

 mascula, Amelanchier, G. Shallon and many another interesting 

 Stranger,i are abundantly naturalised, making the demesne 

 with its rare preserved Natives now long gone from else- 

 where near Leeds, a veritable Botanists' Eden.
