AGRIMONIA ODORATA 
ADDED TO THE WEST YORKSHIRE FLORA. 
WM. WEST, Jun., 
Bradford. 
On Sept. roth, 1889, my friend Mr. E. J. Lumb discovered this 
plant (Agrimonia odorata Mill.) on a hedge-bank sloping down to the 
river Rawthey, near Sedbergh. The specimen from this locality 
which he recently showed me possesses the characters (such as the 
declining exterior spines on the scarcely-furrowed calyx-tube, the 
latter containing two seeds) which distinguish the plant from 
A. eupatoria L. I believe that the species has not previously been 
recorded for West Yorkshire, Mr. Lees remarking in his Flora 
(p. moe that it should turn up about Kettlewell or Grassington.
