Lees: An Old Leeds Herfyary. 59 



hollows over the Birdsfoot trefoil, and the stars of the Glow- 

 worm shine by hundreds at night amid the undergrowth ; and 

 the great hydra-headed clump of Sabine's red rose {Rosa 

 involuta) turns every June a succession of flower wheels into 

 prickly purple hubs of fruit. This area, because little meddled 

 with or invaded, remains more nearly what it was fifty years 

 ago than any ether spot in the vicinity of Leeds. 



1 139. Hyoscyamus niger. Henbane. Near mill, Thorp .

1 147. Linaria Elatine. Fluellin. Thorp Arch, no date. 



1 172. Veronica arvensis. Back court at Methley Park, 

 July 1848. Several tall, strict specimens 9 inches high. If 

 Dr. Heaton had seen this commonly about Leeds he would not 

 (one would imagine) have thought it worth while to dry (though 

 not affix a name to) this common enough inconspicuous plant. 

 It is one I have constantly sent me to name, or queried ' vernal 

 Dr. Heaton though a g"ood general was not a critical botanist.
