SOLANUM—VERBASCUM. 341 
Solanum Dulcamara L. English type. Native. Area 
general. Range o-200. Frequent in hedgerows and damp 
places in the low country, ascending to the lower part of 
Bishopdale. Cultivated up to 350 yards. At Keld at that 
elevation it grows luxuriantly to a height of 8 or ro feet, and is 
trained round the porches of the houses. 
Solanum tuberosum L. Commonly cultivated up to 400 
yards, and grown casually up to 1600 feet, 
Datura Stramonium L. Alien. Casually subspontaneous 
in waste ground. Richmond, 1835 ; James Ward. 
Lycium barbarum I. Frequently used for fences in the 
neighbourhood of the sea at Middlesbrough, Coatham, Marske, 
etc. Cultivated in gardens up to 350 yards. 
Atropa Belladonna L. English type. Native. Subxero- 
philous. Areag 876.432. Range o-250. In the western 
dales at Cotherstone and West Burton. About the Magnesian 
Limestone at Pierce Bridge, Snape and Gebdykes near Masham ; 
about the old quarries in Thorp Arch woods; Æ A. Lees. 
In the dales of the tabular calcareous range of the east it is a 
plant of the aboriginal woods in several places. In Yowlasdale 
it is abundant, and it occurs also in Duncombe woods, on the 
slope of Fadmoor near Kirkby-moorside, and near Scarborough 
at Barrowcliff. Elsewhere in the east near a limekiln at Upsal, 
in Cleveland in Marske mill wood, and in the Howardian tract 
at Airyholme. I have no hesitation in considering it a Native 
in at any rate the dale stations. 
Verbascum Thapsus L. English type. Native. Area 
general. Range 0-200. Frequent upon dry banks, ascending 
in Yowlasdale to Cadale Mill, and in Swaledale to Applegarth. 
Four other species of Verbascum have been met with, but 
apparently all of them only as stragglers from garden cultivation. 
V. nigrum was found by James Ward near Middleton Tyas, in 
the lane which leads to Croft; V. Zychnitis by J. Ward on 
rubbish by the Swale side at Brompton; V. virgatum I have 
Seen in a timber-yard at Thirsk, and it has been gathered also at 
May 1892.
