CEnanthe Lachenalii Gmel. One plant by the Ure at Ripen, 

 opposite and a little above the canal mouth. H. H. Slater. 



M.W. York. 

 This is a new vice-county record, additional to 'Topo- 

 graphical Botany,' not having been previously recorded on 

 unimpeachable authority in Mid-West Yorkshire. CE. peu- 

 cedanifolia is, however, an old synonym for this, and under 

 that name Baines' 'Flora of Yorkshire' gives "in ditches 

 near Ripon." 



Linnaea borealis Gronov. Under heather on Silpho Moor, 

 near Scarborough. P. Tissiman ! N. E. York. 



An addition to the county flora of a most significant 

 character, if future observation should confirm its indigenity. 

 It was found under the shade of tall heather (ling), not 

 flowering. Is Calluna ever sown? If not, is it not just 

 possible that it may have existed for many years as a relic 

 (gradually dying out) of a past flora, much more boreal in its 

 general character than that at present covering the Cleveland 

 moors. We have a similar instance in Cornus suecica (still 

 existent but rarely flowering at the 'Hole of Horcum') of a 

 characteristically highland type of plant skipping from the 

 Cheviots to Yorkshire. Other examples are Carex capillaris 

 and C. pauciflorus. 



Galium uliginosum L. Marshy, boggy field below Ingbarrow 

 farm, between Wetherby and Spofforth. J. Jackson. 



M.W. York. 



Carduus eriophorus L. Laneside between Rigton village and 



Etchell Crags. F. A. Lees. M.W. York. 



Arctium intermedium Lange. Spofforth hill, and borders of 



fields near the lodge-gate of Stockeld Park. F. A. Lees. 



M.W. York. 

 Gnaphalium dioicum Z. Cross-roads, Stubbing-Moor, east of 

 Sprmg Wood, Rigton; and also in Jackdaw Crag Quarry, 

 near Stutton, on dry knolls. J. Emmet and F. A. Lees!
