FLORA OP STRENSALL AND DISTRICT, YORK. 



ALFRED RAINEY WALLER, 

 Secretary of the Watson Botanical Exchange Club. 



In drawing up the following list of Strensall plants, I have been 

 materially helped by the late Mr. H. Ibbotson, who very kindly placed 

 all his notes on York plants at my disposal. My thanks are also due 

 to Miss Milner, of York, Mr. Le Tall, M.A., of York, and Miss G. 

 Horner, of Earswick, for information with regard to plants seen in 

 the district. 



The ground covered by this paper includes Strensall Village and 

 Common, Stockton Forest and its Common, Towthorpe Common, 

 Sandburn Woods, Hazel Bush, the Malton Road in the near vicinity, 

 and part of the river Foss. 



I have not yet sufficiently examined the Rubi, Rosse, and Salices 

 of the district to enable me to give a satisfactory list of these genera, 

 and have therefore decided not to include them in this paper. The 

 list of Ferns is taken largely from Mr. Ibbotson's ' Ferns of York,' 

 edited, in 1884, by Mr. Le Tall and myself. 

 Anemone nemorosa L. 



Ranunculus trichophyllus Chaix. In one or two ponds on Strensall 

 Common. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Fries. Much commoner than the above. 

 Ranunculus hederaceus L. Very plentiful about the middle of the 



Common, and in ditches by the first lane leading off the Common 



towards Strensall. 

 Ranunculus sceleratus I,. R. flammula L. 

 Ranunculus lingua L. One or two plants at Stockton Forest. 

 Ranunculus auricomus L. Not at all common. In shady places 



at Sandburn. 



Ranunculus repens L. R. acrisL. R. bulbosus L. 

 Ranunculus hirsutus Curt. Very rare. One or two plants at Sand- 

 burn. 



Ranunculus arvensis L. Ficaria verna Huds. Caltha palustris L. 



[I have a specimen of Aquilegia vulgaris L. from Stockton, 

 but it is undoubtedly an escape there. Mr. Ibbotson informs 

 me he has seen it on the Malton Road, but not recently.] 



Nymphaea alba L. In the river Foss. 



Nuphar luteum Sm. In the river Foss. 



Papaver rhoeas L. P. dubium L. 



Chelidonium majus L. Walls at Stockton Forest. An escape ? 



May 1886.
