 Askham Bogs ; J. Wheldon. 



Asperula Cynanchica L. English type. Native. Xero- 

 philous. Area 6. Range loo. About the Magnesian Limestone 

 by the Wharfe side at Thorp Arch. This is the most northern

 the generality of the Xerophilous species, it ascends further 

 north on the west than on the east side of the island.

 forage-field near Camphill, 1858 ; M. Hebblethtvaite ! 



Centranthus ruber DC. Alien. A species much culti- 

 vated in gardens, which is occasionally subspontaneous on old 

 walls. Bolton Castle, Masham, Whitby, Helmsley, Strensall, 

 etc. A native of Italy and the South of France.
