lee: first supplement to flora of deWsbury. 257 



therefore 455 will stand with the new locality added. 

 I first found Rubus podophyllus in August, 1885, 

 localising it — ' Copse, Soothill, near Dewsbury,' and 

 it was then looked upon by the Record Club as a 

 form of R. radiila. During the autumn of the 

 following year I took a number of good specimens 

 from the same fine prostrate bush, and, acting as 

 Distributor for the Watson Botanical Exchange Club, 

 in the early part of 1887, I sent them with the Club's 

 Rubi to Prof Babington, the Referee for this Genus, 

 who stated (see AVatson Club's Third Report, 1887) 

 ' they were not the sub-sp. R. radula, but that in his 

 opinion they were R. podophyllus Miill., a continental 

 form.' In 1886 the same form was gathered in North 

 Wales by the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers and submitted to 

 Prof Babington (Journal of Botany, January, 1887). 

 I sent a note to the ' Naturalist ' referring to this 

 addition to our native flora (The Naturalist, 1887, 

 p. 276). See also 'The Bot. Rec. Club' Report, 

 1884-5-6, p. 121; 'Watson Bot. E.x. Club,' Third 

 Annual Report, 1886-7, P- 4 \ ^'"'d ' The Flora of West 

 Yorkshire' (1888), by F. A. Lees, p. 787. 



579. Myriophyllum spicatum L. Spiked Water-milfoil. 

 ' Kirklees district ; Y. N. Excurs. (1873).' Vide 'The 

 Flora of West Yorks.,' p. 238. 



651. CEnanthe fistulosa L. Water Drop-wort. 'Beside 

 the mill at the end of Horbury Bridge, 1792; D. 

 Dixon.' See 'The Flora of West Yorks.,' p. 257. I 

 have failed to find it there this year (1888). Doubtless 

 it has succumbed to the rank growth of the commoner 

 species (Enanthe crocata, thereabouts. 



66915. Galium palustre var. elongatum Presl. Water 

 Bedstraw. The stout form with larger fruit, ditch, 

 Howley (F. A. Fees and P. F. Lee).
