5S Lees: An Old Leeds Herbary. 



1050. Pyrola minor. Least Wintergreen. Saw-wood, 



Whinmoof, 1859. J. D. H. Two specimens, queried as to specific 



name. 



1060. Hottonia palustris. Water Violet. Two specimens. 

 One localised 1 Brook, near Leeds, J. D. H. ; ' the other ' Near 

 Knostrop, June 1836.' This and the preceding- are among the 

 most significant of chang-es in the collection. 



1 06 ib. Primula caulescens Koch. Two specimens, labelled 

 ' P. elatior" (which they are not) from Thorparch. They are the 

 Primrose-with-Cowslip hybrid, so often miscalled the Oxlip. 

 The Primrose itself grew by the Adel stream, sparingly, in my 

 own recollection, up to about 1S67 or 8, when the Reformatory 

 was new. 



1068. Lysimachia vulgaris. Yellow Loosestrife. 'Foundry 

 Lane pools ' (Osmundthorpe) '1839.' The simple-spiked, half- 

 umbellate, axillary-flowered wild type with very acute leaves 

 and gland-hairy stem, not the smooth, compound-spiked form 

 mostly seen in gardens. 



1077. Anagallis tenella. Bog Pimpernel. Addle bog, 

 near Leeds. 1S56. A second more recent specimen — to judge 

 by its fresher appearance — undated, localised similarly. I can 

 just remember this as being" there up to 1867. 



1051. Ligustrum vulgare. Privet. ' Scarcroft.' Never 

 indigenous there : planted in the fox-covert. 



10S3. Vinca minor. Periwinkle. Middleton, near Leeds, 

 1S36. This in similar case ; but long gone, I should think. 

 On the last occasion when I was over the 'wood,' about 1S70, 

 and captured a Green-ringed Snake therein, I saw nothing- of it. 



1099. Menyanthes trifoliata. Buckbean. Addle, 1836. 



1 105. Symphytum officinale. Comfrey. ' Sheepscar, 

 J. D. H.' 



1 1 15. Myosotis palustris. Water Forget-me-not. Knos- 

 trop, 1S39. J. D. H. 



1129. Convolvulus arvensis. An unlocalised specimen. 



1 137. Atropa Belladonna. Deadly Nightshade. Round- 

 hay. 1836. This species, which depends for its uncertain 

 appearances upon soil disturbance, still springs up in un- 

 expected places, with the Giant Throatwort, in and about the 

 Naylor demesne on 1 the limehills ' between Roundhay and 

 Seacroft, where a patch of Permian strata comes to the surface. 

 Here still, in summer Alexian blue butterflies waver in the
