ADDITIONS TO THE WENSLEYDALE FLORA: 



Notes Supplementary to Baker's ' North Yorkshire.'

FIRST LIST-PH^NOGAMS AnSTD VASCtlLARES. 



Since the issue of the ch-cular for the Hawes meeting of the Yorkshire 

 NaturaHsts' Union, Mr. John Percival, of Carperby, and myself have 

 made several not unimportant additions to the florula of Wensleydale 

 (chiefly west of Aysgarth), as registered in Baker's ' North Yorkshire,' 

 for his drainage district No, 7 — Yoredale. As no more can 

 be made this season, so far as the flowering plants are concerned, 

 a brief record of the supplementary facts will be interesting. The 

 additions to the Mosses, Hepatics, and Lichens will be given in a 

 second list later on. 



The twenty-nine following species stand quite unrecorded for 

 Yoredale. Two others ' reported,' but ranked as doubtful in the work 

 named, I have ascertained to really occur without any doubt. The 

 mark of exclamation (!) after the station signifies that I have verified 

 the name and locality by personal observation, where the discovery has 

 not been my own in the first instance. The letters H. and Z. indicate 

 respectively Higher and Lower Yoredale, the former division lying to 

 the west and the latter to the east of a line drawn across the dale 

 from the summit of Addlebrough to the highest point of Woodhall 

 Moor above Nappa Scar. 



1 Nasturtium palustre D.C. (N. terrestre Sm.) L. 



By a plash in process of draining at the west end of 

 Carperby; J. P. ! 



2 Sagina ciliata Fr. Z. 



New to the vice-county (65) of N.W. York. I found this 

 recently on the bare ground in the Leyburn flagstone quarries, 

 growing with the long-known Alsine teniiifolia. 



3 Agrimonia odorata Mill. Z. 



Found by Mr. J. Percival on the slope of Penhill, above 

 West Burton. Also a new vice-county record. Not recorded 

 for North Yorkshire at all in Baker's Flora of 1863 ; but since 

 that gathered by him in the north-east half of the. area (v.c. 62) 

 since in Top. Bot. that vice-county is entered foi* it on the 

 authority of ' Baker spn' This seems at best but a sub-species of 

 A. eupato7'ia, the shallower furrowing and greater rotundity of 

 the calyx-tube being morphologically explained by the develop- 

 ment of two carpels in the ovary instead of one.
