950. R. maritimus, Linn. Native. English. 
Bury hills, near Kirklington ! — M. Hebblethwaite. 
950b. R. palustris, Smith. Native. English. 
By the Foss, near Peasholmegreen bridge, York — 0. A. Moore. A 
single plant on Knavesmire, near York — J. Backhouse, Jun. Ditch 
at Pickhill, near Bedale ! — T. Simpson. Seacroft, near Leeds— 
A. Shipley. It is not improbable that under this name two distinct 
species* are confused in Britain, viz. R. limosus of Thuillier, and 
R. Steinii of Becker. The only Yorkshire specimen which I have 
seen ( vide supra ) is possibly the former. 
R. scutatus, Linn. Incognit. 
The Silverdale locality, on faith of which this species is admitted 
as a naturalised Yorkshire plant in the Cybele Britannica, is in 
Lancashire. 
951. R. Acetosa, Linn. Native. British. 
952. R. Acetosella, Linn. Native. British. 
OXYRIA. 
953. O. renieormis, Hook. Incognit. 
Mountains in the north and west ridings — Teesdale. “ The only 
locality I ever heard of is the foot of Ingleborough ; but I never srav 
it there, and think it was probably a mistake ” — J. Backhouse, in litt. 
1854. Admitted as a native of Yorkshire in the Cybele Britannica ; 
but is desirable that some special locality should be ascertained, 
before it can be received with confidence.

Amongst the coast sandhills at Lythe, near Whitby, 1852! — W. 
* I liave subjoined a translation from Koch’s Synopsis, of the diagnostic characters of these two sup- 
posed species. 
“ R. limosus ( Thuill . par. 182). Enlarged petals, ovate oblong, with two setaceous teeth on each 
side, but quite entire at the elongate lanceolate apex: each bearing a tubercle: teeth shorter than the 
enlarged petals : whorls somewhat remote leafy : leaves linear lanceolate or elongate lanceolate, nar- 
rowed into the petiole. E. maritimus, Hoffm not Linn. R. palustris, Koch. 
“ R. Steinii (Bede. fl. v. Frankf. 165). Enlarged petals, ovate, with two setaceous teeth on each side, 
but quite entire at the elongate apex: each bearing a tubercle : teeth shorter than the enlarged petals: 
whorls remote, lower leafy, upper naked: radical leaves broadly oblong, with a cordate base: stem 
leaves lanceolate from a rounded base, upper lanceolate. Allied to R. conglomeratus and sanguineus, 
but differing by the subulate dentate teeth of its perigone ; and from R. limosus by its perennial root, 
and by its two or three times broader root leaves, with cordate bases.”
