The Flora of Dewshury and District. 239 



Anthyllis Vulneraria. Railway embankment. ' Adven- 

 tive here ' (Lees). 



Melilotus alba. By old lime kilns, Thornhill Lees. 



Ononis repens L. {arvensis L.). Meadow bank, Midgley ; 

 Railway embankment, near Mirfield (J. W. H. Johnson). 



Coronilla varia L. Alien Vetch. Corn mill, goit bank, 

 Shipley Bridge, Mirfield. ' Native of woods and dry limestone 

 hills, from Central and Southern Europe to Persia, reaching to 

 Normandy, Belgium and Northern Germany, and in one locality 

 even to England. There seems no reason to doubt that the 

 station recorded by Mr. Plumtree {Journal of Botany, 1897, 

 p. 449, ) in a rough wood on the chalk in Kent, is a natural one. 

 It is much more frequently recorded in England as a waste 

 ground plant, in which state it is frequent over most of its 

 range.' (Dunn's ' Alien Flora,' p. 54). 



Agrimonia Eupatorium. Meadow, Thornhill Edge. 



Sedum acre. Abundant on Thornhill Edge. 



Sanicula europaea Whitley. (J. W. H. Johnson). 



Sambucus Ebulus. Calder bank, Mirfield ; Ravensthorpe ; 

 Horbury. With us a Denizen. "A decoction of the root with 

 an iron mordant has long been used for dyeing a raw blue, such 

 as one sees bordering blankets, and I believe it was first brought 

 to the Spen Valley nigh a century ago for that purpose.' — F. A. 

 Lees. 



Centaurea Scabiosa. Hungerhills, Dewsbury (H. Par- 

 kinson). 



Campanula latifolia, with white flowers. Bank Wood,

Lysiimachia Nummularia. Abundant, and in fine bloom 

 in a ditch at Horbury Bridge. 



Anchusa sempervirens. Hedge bank, near Overton. 

 An outcast originally, no doubt. 



Myosotis versicolor. Upland Meadow, Whitley Lower. 

 ' A true native of dry heaths and pastures in England, though 

 so often recorded in local Floras only from artificial habitats.' 

 (Dunn's ' Alien Flora,' p. 137). 



EcHiUM vulgare. Ravensthorpe (H. Parkinson). Casual 

 only here and other places named in this Flora.
