LEE : FLORA OF DEWSBURY. 225 



THE FLORA OF 

 DEWSBUHY AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. 



p. FOX LEE, 



Secretary for Phanerogamia 



TO THE Botanical Section of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union, 



Member of the Botanical Record Club, etc. 



The observations recorded here have, with the exception of 

 those to which the names of brother botanists are appended, 

 all been made by the writer during the past five or six years. 



The geological formation does not favour many of the 

 rarer plants, as the whole of the Dewsbury district embraced in 

 this ' Flora ' lies on the coal measures. 



The list of Rubi does not profess to be a complete one. 

 The writer has sent a great number of specimens for determina- 

 tion and confirmation to specialists, but as opinions have 

 differed concerning some of them, only those species are inserted 

 about which there seems to be no doubt. 



The nomenclature is according to ' The Students' Flora of 

 the British Islands,' by Sir J. D. Hooker, K.C.S.I., C.B., &c., 

 third edition (1884) ; and the numbers which precede the 

 Latin names refer to ' The London Catalogue of British Plants,' 

 eighth edition (1886). 



The writer has to thank Mr, J. G. Baker, F.R.S., F.L.S., 

 of the Royal Herbarium, Kew, for kindly looking over the manu- 

 script and for making several valuable suggestions. 



The total number of species is nearly five hundred. 



7. Anemone nemorosa L. Wood anemone. Abundant 



in woods. 



12. Ranunculus circinatus Sibth. Coxley Dam. 



14. Ranunculus penicillatus Dumort. Pond, Howley, 



Batley.
