302 WEST : LOCALITIES FOR WEST RIDING PLANTS. 



Sparganium simplex Huds. is common both in the river and 



canal about Saltaire and Shipley. 

 Lemna g"ibba L. I found abundantly in a pond on Rawcliffe 



Common. 



Orchis UStulata L. I have seen from Kettlewell and with Ophrys 



viiiscifera Huds. at Collingham. 

 Luzula pilosa Willd. is abundant in the woods from Keighley to 



Apperley. 



Juncus obtusiflorus Ehrh. occurs abundantly between Church 



Fenton and Towton. 

 Scirpus pauciflorus Lightf. I have gathered near the edge of 



Malham Tarn. 



Scirpus setaceus L. occurs plentifully in the Hebden valley. 

 Carex sylvatica Huds. is hardly ' infrequent,' but abundant about 



Shiple}^, Keighley, and Hawksworth. 

 Melica nutans L. is an abundant plant in the woods at Grassington. 

 Sclerochloa rigida Link. I have gathered on walls between 



Giggleswick and Austwick. 

 Brachypodium sylvaticum R. & S. is common in Mid-Airedale. 

 Hordeum pratense Huds. This I have seen in some quantity in 



meadows near Kildwick. I afterwards saw it in ' Gill Grange," 



not knowing at the time that this was another name for Holden 



Gill. When I was told that these localities were synonymous, 



I remembered that Mr. J. Eastwood had previously reported to 



me that he had seen this grass in Holden Gill. The station in 



the Gill will extend its upward range at least 300 ft. 

 Asplenium adiantum-nigrum L. is certainly 'rare' in W. York ; 



I have gathered it between Sedbergh and Cautley Spout. 

 Ceterach officinarum Willd. I had the pain of seeing a fine 



tuft of this in a tree-pot exultingly shown to me by a person 



who had got it on a hill near Settle. 

 Aspidium angulare Willd. My friend Mr. Nuttall has this from 



Burley-in-Wharfedale. 

 Nephrodium oreopteris Desv. is not 'rare in Airedale,' but 



common in sub-alpine glens like those of Baildon, Keighley, 



and Hawksworth. 

 Equisetum hyemale L. I have gathered this about a mile 



below Shipley, so sparingly that I think it had been washed 



down from higher up the vale. 

 [Chara vulgaris L. (not a vascular plant) is also common above 



Clapham village ; also at Kilnsey.]
