NOTES ON THE WEST YORKSHIRE FLORA. 



F. ARNOLD LEES, M.R.C.S.Eng. ; L.R.C.P.Lond. ; 



A^ithor of the ' Flora 0/ West Yorkshire' ; Presideiit of the Botanical Section of the 

 Yorkshire Naturalists Ufiio9c; etc. 



The Rev. W. A. Shuffrey, M.A., of Arncliffe, kindly furnishes 

 me with some information and emendation additional to my 

 West Yorkshire Flora, which I think ought to be printed. The 

 concluding note anent the Iris made by Miss M. Morton, and those 

 with Mr. Friend's name appended, are added-in here for convenience 

 sake. The serial numbers within parentheses following the names 

 agree with those in the West Yorkshire Flora. 



Ranunculus hirsutus Curt. (Flora, No. 22, p. 122). A single 

 specimen in fruit on hills behind Sedbergh, Oct. 1887 ; Hilderic 

 Friend. If no misnomer, then it must have been a casual plant 

 brought with hay-seed ; it cannot be indigenous on those inland hills. 

 I have not examined the s^^ecimen. 



Cerastium glomeratum Th. (Flora, No. 124, p. 164). Shire- 

 oaks and Anston ; Hilderic Friend. Record for T. district. 



Rhamnus catharticus L. (Flora, No. 183, p. 186). Seen by 

 me as high up as 1,100 ft. in Arncliffe Woods; W. A. Shuffrey. 

 So have I on Hawbank, near Carperby, out of the riding. An un- 

 published station, and the nearest spot to Leeds in which it can be 

 found is 'the limehills ' beyond Roundhay : I noted two or three 

 non-fruiting bushes there lately. 



Ononis arvensis Auct. (Flora, No. 194, p. 190). In Arncliffe, 

 as high as 900 ft.; W. A. Shuffrey. 



Saxifraga granulata L. (Flora, No. 352, p. 249). Field near 

 to Burnsall Rectory, and m Arncliffe churchyard ; W. A. Shuffrey. 

 New records for W. district. 



iEgopodium podagraria L. (Flora, No. 363, p. 254). At 

 Buckden, and near Litton at 800 ft. ; W. A. Shiffrey. 



Scabiosa arvensis L. (Flora, No. 430, p. 277). At 800 ft. 

 near Litton ; W. A. Slmffrey. 



Senecio saracenicus L. (Flora, No. 475, p. 293). One station 

 (to be kept secret) in Upper Wharfedale, at about 700 ft.; W. A. 

 Shuffrey. No need to fear the eradication of such a tenacious-lived 

 plant as this : most certainly an introduction to Wharfedale (for which 

 district it is additional) ; this particular station may be the sequel 

 of roots washed from some garden adjoining a beck by a flood. 



Pyrola rotundifolia (vera) (No. 540A). Wooded bank sloping 

 to Wharfe at Outershaw {T. B. Woodd) ! New to West Riding Flora. 

 See record in September number of this journal, p. 267. 



Oct. 1888.
