244 ^^^ Flora of Dewsbury and District. 



Carex at Heybeck, near Whitkirk, on some swampy pasture land. 

 It is a very graceful looking hair-pedicelled sedge, with recurv- 

 ing bright green leaves, and curving pensile spikelets. Its 

 kinship to the wood-lover sylvatica was apparent, but it was 

 not so robust as the latter species. Mr. F. Arnold Lees, has 

 seen the plants in situ, and suggests that, as they shew no 

 trace of the fruits, of hybridisation, and simulate the rare 

 Yorkshire Carex capillaris in general facies, a fitting name 

 would be Carex sylvatica var. capillariformis.' See ' The 

 Naturalist,' 1909, pp. 349-351, with a note by Mr. Lees.
