672. HiPPOCREPis UNisiLiQUOSA L. Waste ground, Mir- 

 field (Messrs. Buckley and Jessop). 



692. ViciA HYBRiDA L. Waste ground, Mirfield. 



1287. Odontospermum (Buphthalmum) aquaticum 

 Sch.-Bip. ' Native of wet meadows in the Mediterranean 

 region. Recorded by Mr. Lees in his " Flora of West York- 

 shire," p. 295, as sent to him (by the writer of this Supplement 

 from Sandal in 1887), from a disused quarry where garden 

 rubbish was thrown. It has also been noticed on waste ground 

 near Bath. It is not grown in gardens, nor is it likely to be 

 imported with grain, so that no clue as to its origin in England 

 could have been suggested, had not chance revealed a channel 

 of introduction. Upon experimentally sowing a sample of 

 bird seed, a few years ago, a quantity of this species came up, 

 and its seed was afterwards recognised in other samples. This 

 is, therefore, probably one of the casuals introduced with 

 foreign bird seed ' (Dunn's ' Alien Flora of Britain,' 1905, 

 pp. 105-106). 



1335. Achillea cretica L. By corn-mill, Shepley Bridge

 Shepley Bridge. Erect, tall, not inodorous, with Leucanthe- 

 mttm-like flowers, disk solid, florets of ray upcurved forming a 

 saucer-like flower-face. As its trivial name implies, a deceptive 

 but not unornamental mayweed. 



1440. Onopordum tauricum Willd. Waste ground, old 

 malting mill, Mirfield.

 identical with the next — a washed down colony of it ' (F. A. 

 Lees).
