W. WEST, JUN.: WEST RIDING PLANT-LOCALITIES. 335 
Polygonatum officinale All. Limestone ridge near Ribblehead, 
alt. 1,125 ft.; G. S. West, E. J. Lumb, and J. Beanland (1890). 
With it was 
Convallaria majalis Linn., flowering plentifully, alt. 1,100-1,125 
eet. The upward limit is given at 750 ft. in the ‘ Flora.’ 
Gagea fascicularis Salisb. This is included in the Bolton 
Woods list in ‘West Yorkshire,’ but is not mentioned in the 
‘Flora’ for any Wharfedale locality above Boston Spa. It may 
therefore be worth while recording the fact that Mr. E. J. Lumb 
and myself saw the plant in Bolton Woods in 1889 in some plenty. 
It also occurs more than nine miles further down the valley, 
near Burley, where it was found by Mr. Breare of that place, 
and where Mr. Beanland has recently seen it. 
Paris quadrifolia Linn. occurs near Alum Pot in Upper Ribbles- 
ale, at an elevation of rather over 1,125 ft. (The ‘Flora’ 
gives goo ft. as its greatest elevation within the Riding.) 
Holden Gill, near Steeton; G. S. West. 
Juncus obtusiflorus Ehrh. occurred sparingly about a mile S.S.E. 
of Doncaster in 1890. 
Potamogeton alpinus Balb. grows in the Leeds and Liverpool 
canal above Bingley, two or three miles from the locality ‘near 
Gilstead.’ 
Zannichellia brachystemon J. Gay, was seen on Aug. 4th, 1890, 
in a ditch about a mile $.S.E. of Doncaster by Mr. E. J. Lumb 
and myself. 
Eriophorum latifolium Hoppe. Many years ago my father found 
this in another station in the Malham district (some miles 
distant from the one near Airton which is recorded in the 
‘Flora’), and I saw the plant growing there last June; the 
altitude is a little over 1,200 ft. 
Carex pallescens Linn. occurs in Grass Wood, Grassington, in 
Shipley Glen, and plentifully in open ground south of the river 
near Bingley. 
Hordeum sylvaticum Huds. This occurs in some plenty in 
one portion of Holden Gill, near Steeton, alt. 525-600 fh., 
where it was discovered by Mr. J. Eastwood. It has since 
been seen there by several members of the Bradford Naturalists’ 
Society, but, prior to this, has been erroneously recorded as 
Hf. pratense Huds.; why, I am unable to say. However, 
Hi. pratense does occur, as stated by my father on p. 303 0 
this journal for 1888, in the meadows (alt. about 3oo ft.) by the 
river near Kildwick and Steeton, over 20 miles W. of its 
nearest locality on the Permian strata. 
Dec. 1895.
