58 LEES, FARRAH, AND MILLWARD: THE NIDDERDALE FLORA. 
obscurum. The buds are erect. The stolons are autumnal, 
the leaves thereof oblong and of a deep red mostly, but not 
broad-based and sessile as in 2. adnatum. 
Malva parviflora L. Waste ground, with the preceding. 
[Hypericum elodes. None visible this year in any of the pools 
of the Hookstone string of quarries, wherein it lingered up to 
(at least) twelve years ago. More recent observations wanted.]} 
Papaver Argemone. Flagstone quarry, Little Wonder, Harro- 
gate. Stubble, Hill-top, Walkingham (Y.). 
Ficus Carica.* Two or three fine, flourishing plants, in the 
masonry of the Gas-Works wall by the Oak-beck, near Harrogate. 
A product of the Sewage farm irrigational proceedings ? 
Calamagrostis Epigejos. Red House Wood, near Moor 
Monkton (H. J. Wilkinson). In the Yore district ascends to 
Blackburnsike Spinney, Hawes, alt. goo feet, an extension of 
the range as given in the 2nd edition of Baker’s ‘North 
Yorkshire.’ 
Genista tinctoria. Saltergate Hill, north-west of Harrogate, on 
an isolated patch of encrinital limestone (John Farrah, sponsor). 
Aster levis.* Road-bank above Pot Bridge, known to John 
Farrah for twenty years. 
Veronica Buxbaumii. In stubble on Hemsley’s farm, Haverah 
Park, with Cerastium glomeratum ; in plenty, late in 1893. 
Ulex Gallii Planch. Hardly, if at all, in evidence just around 
Harrogate. Sought in vain in 1893 about Hookstone and 
Stonefall, where it was seen 15 to 20 years ago. This 
exceptional autumn the Common Whin flowered plentifully in 
October, and shade-grown forms, with weak spines and very 
small floral bracts (var. eguinoctii Lees), but lemon-yellow 
corollas, puzzlingly simulated the orange-flowered Planchon’s 
furze. 
Thlaspi alpestre var. occitanum Jord. With Adsine verna and 
Geum rivale, about the swallow-holes and lead-mines of Green- 
how Hill, all in bloom still, oo 25th (Farrah). 
Lamium hybridum Vill. (inc sum). As a weed in the Bog- 
valley Gardens, muwcbney. and by road-side, near Bilton 
Church (Farrah). 
Mentha citrata Ehrh. Among bushes on bank of stream to the 
north-west of the Hookstone quarries. 
Mentha Piperita var. vulgaris Sole. This, the truly-wild form, 
grows finely (4 to 5 feet in height) in the road-side ditches 
adjacent to Hookstone Wood, and the Harrogate to Wetherby 
road. It bloomed up to the end of October; the flowers of
