Refreshments were also provided by the Leeds Societies. 

 The entire meeting- was of a most successful character, and 

 every possible effort appeared to have been made by our Leeds 

 friends to ensure this. The business meetings also were of 

 a most encouraging- character, and unquestionably augured well 

 for the future career of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union.

NOTES ON GOOD KING HENRY. 



ARTHUR BENNETT, F.L.S., 



Croydon. 



Mr. Walter Johnson's interesting paper on Chenopodiurji Bofius- 

 Henricus Linn, shows how much there is yet to search out and 

 learn about our plants. 



With regard to Surrey, it used a few years ago to grow by 

 the roadside for some loo yards on the ascent of Slyne's Hill, 

 between Warlingham and Woldingham, near Croydon, below 

 a farmyard. This year I have seen three or four plants of it at 

 Chelsham, near Croydon, most certainly only recently come 

 there. The station given by Brewer, ' Battersea Fields,' was 

 taken from the Flora Metropolitana of Cooper, 1837, who g-ives 

 a list of 350 species as occurring there, many weeds of cultiva- 

 tion, but also including such species as Teesdalia nudicauiis and 

 Ophioglossum vulgatum. 



With regard to East Anglian counties there are for Norfolk 

 13 stations, and I have seen it at Yarmouth ; Suffolk, 'frequent 

 in all the (5) districts ; '^ Essexf 24 stations, Cambridge^ 22 

 stations, Hertfordshire!! 34 stations. In the first four counties 

 I have tramped over many parts of all of them, but have rarely 

 seen it, and then by farmyards, etc. In thirteen of the southern 

 counties in which I have seen the plant growing I should say 

 'not native.' The majorit}^ of County Floras say 'not native,' 

 or it is queried.
