 (Stud. Flora, p. 485) calls this "common." I was 

 curious on this point, and for two seasons looked for 

 this plant in every corn-field round Ripon with great 

 diligence, but only found one odd plant in a corn-field 

 near Blois Hall in 1881. Mr. Lees records it from 

 the Boroughbridge district. 



1597. Hordeum sylvaticum {Elymus europceus in Baines). 

 Wood barley. Baines records it from Hackfall. I 

 did not find it myself, but saw specimens which had 

 been gathered there by Miss Morton.
