“Nature  never  did  betray 
The  heart  that  loved  her:  ’tis  her  privilege, 
Through  all  the  years  of  this  our  life,  to  lead 
From  joy  to  joy:  for  she  can  so  inform 
The  mind  that  is  within  us,  so  impress 
With  quietness  and  beauty,  and  so  feed 
With  lofty  thoughts,  that  neither  evil  tongues, 
Bash  judgments,  nor  the  sneers  of  selfish  men, 
Nor  greetings  where  no  kindness  is,  nor  all 
The  dreary  intercourse  of  daily  life, 

Shall  e’er  prevail  against  us,  or  disturb 
Our  cheerful  faith  that  all  which  we  hehold 
Is  full  of  blessings.  Therefore  let  the  moon 
Shine  on  thee  in  thy  solitary  walk, 

And  let  the  misty  mountain  winds  be  free 
To  blow  against  thee ; and  in  after  years, 

If  solitude,  or  fear,  or  pain,  or  grief, 

Should  be  thy  portion,  with  what  healing  thoughts 
Of  tender  joy  wilt  thou  remember  me, 

And  these  my  exhortations!  ” 


— Wordsworth. 


NOTE, 


BY  THE  AUTHOR  OF  THE  “ FLORA  OF  YORKSHIRE.” 


In  offering  to  tire  Public  this  Supplement  to  the  “ Flora  of  Yorkshire,” 
I can  lay  but  little  claim  to  direct  participation  in  the  large  addition  of 
species  and  stations  which  has  been  made  since  the  publication  of  the 
work,  in  1840. 

At  that  time  I took  occasion  to  express  my  opinion,  that  many  curious 
discoveries  would  reward  the  diligent  observer,  who  might  venture  be- 
yond the  beaten  track,  into  the  more  secluded  districts  of  the  county; 
but  I must  confess,  that  I never  anticipated  that  the  number  of  species 
added  would  have  been  so  large  as  has  already  proved  to  be  the  case. 

Had  I myself  edited  the  Supplement,  it  would  have  been  a mere 
list  of  species  and  localities ; but  Mr.  Baker,  with  the  assistance  of 
Mr.  Nowell,  having  with  great  kindness  undertaken  the  management  of 
the  matter,  (a  task  for  which  their  labors  in  the  special  field  of  research, 
and  their  acquaintance  with  the  general  literature  of  the  subject,  have 
rendered  them  so  eminently  fitted,)  I may  with  confidence  introduce  the 
Supplement  which  they  have  furnished,  to  the  notice  of  my  Friends  and 
the  Public,  as  exhibiting  not  only  a very  complete  list  of  the  botanical 
treasures  of  the  county,  so  far  as  it  professes  to  treat,  but  also  as  a 
•work  calculated  to  lead  its  readers  to  the  study  and  investigation  of 
general  principles.

INTRODUCTORY  EXPLANATIONS. 


The  Supplement  to  the  “ Flora  of  Yorkshire  ” contains  a complete  list 
of  the  flowering  plants,  ferns,  and  mosses,  known  or  reported  to  grow 
wild  within  the  limits  of  the  county,  so  far  as  they  hare  been  ascertained 
by  those  who  have  contributed  towards  it,  at  the  close  of  the  year  1853. 

Since  the  original  “ Flora  ” was  published,  fourteen  years  have  elapsed. 
During  the  interval  much  has  been  accomplished  in  collecting  facts  and 
details  relative  to  the  geography  of  the  plants  of  Britain,  and  connecting 
together  the  records  of  their  localities  and  situations  which  have  been 
gradually  accumulated.  By  arranging  and  comparing  these,  considerable 
progress  has  been  made  in  tracing  the  leading  features  of  the  distribution 
of  the  species  which  compose  the  (phanerogamic)  flora  of  Britain  over 
the  surface  of  the  island,  and  investigating  the  laws  and  conditions  which 
govern  and  limit  their  diffusion.  The  era  of  the  “ New  Botanist’s  Guide” 
has  passed  away,  and  is  succeeded  by  that  of  the  “ Cybele  Britannica.” 

During  the  interval,  also,  Babington’s  “ Manual  of  British  Botany”  has 
replaced  Hooker’s  “ British  Flora,”  as  a popular  descriptive  handbook  and 
standard  of  nomenclature.  The  most  characteristic  feature  of  this  work, 
which  has  already,  passed  through  three  editions,  is  an  endeavour  to 
establish  uniformity  in  the  nomenclature  employed  in  this  country,  with 
that  of  the  most  trustworthy  continental  authorities  of  modern  times, 
amongst  whom  Koch  and  Fries  are  pre-eminent.  In  order  to  attain  this, 
numerous  alterations  from  the  names  previously  adopted  have  been 
rendered  necessary.  Many  species  before  unknown  within  the  limits  of 
Britain  have  been  found,  upon  closer  examination,  to  extend  their  range 
to  this  country.  And  others,  which  were  formerly  supposed  to  be  single 
species  only,  are  found,  upon  more  accurate  investigation,  to  require  sub- 
division. So  that  the  fourth  edition  of  the  “ London  Catalogue  of  British 
Plants  ” is  very  different  from  what  any  similar  enumeration  which  might 
have  been  attempted  in  1840  would  have  been.

In  preparing  tlie  first  part  of  the  present  work,  I have  endeavoured,  so 
far  as  I have  been  enabled  by  my  own  observations,  and  by  the  assistance 
of  various  notes  and  lists  liberally  furnished  to  the  author  of  the  “ Flora” 
and  to  myself,  to  carry  out  the  idea  of  the  original  work  up  to  the  present 
time,  by  making  the  additions  which  were  needful  to  adapt  it  to  the 
present  standard  of  knowledge.  That  is  to  say,  I have  wished  that  the 
“Supplement,”  either  taken  alone  or  in  connection  with  the  “Flora,” 
might  furnish  a summary  of  the  higher  vegetation  of  the  county,  so  far 
as  it  has  been  ascertained:  for  the  use  of  the  botanical  and  physical 
geographer,  either  to  be  viewed  by  itself,  or  considered  in  comparison 
and  taken  in  connection  with  other  similar  comital  enumerations ; and 
of  the  resident  or  travelling  collector,  to  give  him  information  respecting 
the  species  which  he  may  expect  to  be  enabled  to  add  to  his  herbarium 
within  the  limits  of  the  county,  and  some  of  the  special  localities  of  the 
rarities. 

In  all  scientific  enumerations  of  the  plants  of  a definite  area,  it  is 
needful  that  a clear  line  of  distinction  should  be  drawn  between  those 
which  are  indubitably  ascertained  to  inhabit  it,  and  those,  the  occurrence 
of  which  within  the  limits  of  the  district  rests  only  upon  doubtful 
authority  or  unconfirmed  report.  It  is  also  essential,  if  we  wish  to  esti- 
mate the  true  relations  of  the  flora,  to  separate  as  accurately  as  possible 
those  species  which  are  aboriginal  inhabitants  of  the  district,  so  far  as 
can  be  judged,  from  those  which  bear  the  appearance  of  having  been 
introduced  by  human  agency  at  some  period  more  or  less  remote.  Partly 
in  order  that  we  might  attempt  to  trace  these  distinctions  in  the  present 
instance ; partly  because,  on  account  of  the  alterations  in  nomenclature, 
which,  as  before  explained,  have  been  rendered  necessary  by  advancing 
knowledge,  confusion  might  otherwise  have  arisen;  it  has  been  judged 
desirable  to  repeat  the  complete  series  of  names. 

For  various  reasons,  upon  which  it  is  unnecessary  here  to  dwell, 
especially  for  the  sake  of  uniformity  with  the  “ Oybele  Britannica,”  the 
catalogue  of  British  plants  published  by  the  Botanical  Society  of  London, 
the  fourth  edition  of  which  has  just  made  its  appearance,  has  been  used 
as  an  index  of  nomenclature  and  arrangement.  A line  or  more  is  devoted 
to  each  species  which  the  county  is  ascertained  or  reported  to  afford ; but 
a single  line  only  to  those  species,  respecting  the  situations  and  degree 


7 


of  rarity  or  frequency  of  which  no  further  information  than  is  contained 
in  the  “ Flora”  appears  necessary  to  be  given,  or  has  been  obtained.  This 
line  contains,  on  the  left  hand  side,  the  number  and  name  under  which 
the  species  stands  in  the  Catalogue,  with  an  abbreviation  of  the  name  of 
the  original  authority  for  the  latter.  Next  is  placed  one  of  the  following 
series  of  terms,*  used  in  the  sense  explained  below,  designed  to  express 
the  degree  of  citizensliijD  of  the  species,  so  far  as  can  be  judged  from  the 
evidence  which  has  been  obtained. 

Native. — Apparently  an  aboriginal  Yorkshire  species ; there  being  little 
or  no  reason  for  supposing  it  to  have  been  introduced  by  human 
agency.  Examples : Ranunculus  acris,  Beilis  perennis,  Calluna 
vulgaris,  Coryllus  Avellana. 

Denizen. — At  present  maintaining  its  habitats  as  if  a native,  without  the 
aid  of  man ; yet  liable  to  some  suspicion  of  having  been  originally 
introduced.  Examples:  Viola  odorata,  Saponaria  officinalis,  Pyre- 
thrum  Parthenium. 

Colonist. — A weed  of  cultivated  land,  and  about  houses ; seldom  found, 
except  where  the  ground  has  been  adapted  for  its  production  by 
the  operations  of  man.  Examples : Papaver  Rhceas,  Brassica 
Napus,  Lychnis  Githago. 

Alien. — Now  more  or  less  established,  but  either  presumed  or  certainly 
known  to  have  been  introduced  by  human  agency.  These  may  be 
arranged  under  two  classes : — 1st.  Species  introduced  by  horticul- 
ture. Examples : Corydalis  lutea,  Mimulus  luteus.  And  2nd.  Spe- 
cies introduced  by  agriculture,  or  with  ballast.  Examples  : Alyssum 
calycinum,  Lolium  italicum,  Trifolium  incarnatum. 

Incognit. — Reported  as  a Yorkshire  plant ; but  either  certainly  erroneous, 
or  extinct,  or  requiring  confirmation  before  it  can  be  received  with 
complete  confidence.  Of  species  reported  through  errors  in  nomen- 
clature, Hieracium  villosum,  Centaurea  jacea,  and  Stachys  ger- 
manica,  are  examples.  Others  have  been  placed  in  Yorkshire  lists, 
on  faith  of  localities  which  are  not  within  the  limits  of  the  county ; 
as  Vaccinium  uliginosum,  Woodsia  ilvensis.  Amongst  those  species 
which  have  formerly  occurred,  but  are  now  probably  extinct,  are, 


Vide  “ Cybele  Britarmica,”  vol.  i.  page  63. 


8 


Silene  cornea,  Potamogeton  zostersefolius,  and  Carex  Gibsoni. 
Examples  of  the  class  of  species  which  are  probably  correctly 
reported,  may  be  found  in  Centaurea  calcitrapa,  Aceras  anthropo- 
phora,  and  Carex  brizoides. 

One  of  the  most  important  generalizations  which  has  been  established 
through  the  onward  progress  of  geographical  botany,  is,  the  subdivision 
of  the  British  flora  into  “ types  of  distribution,”*  according  as  the  species 
are  more  or  less  generally  diffused  over  the  whole  extent  of  the  island, 
or  are  limited  to,  or  preponderate  in,  some  particular  section  of  its  sur- 
face. In  order  to  afford  a means  of  estimating  the  relations  of  the  flora 
of  Yorkshire  to  that  of  other  portions  of  Britain,  on  the  right  hand  side 
of  the  line  is  placed  the  name  of  the  type  to  which  each  species  may  bo 
considered  to  belong.  The  types  of  distribution  are  thus  named  and 
made  up. 

1.  British  Type. — Species  which  are  more  or  less  generally  diffused 

throughout  the  whole,  or  nearly  the  whole,  extent  of  Britain. 
Examples  : Sagina  procumbens,  Senecio  vulgaris,  Thymus  serpyl- 
lum,  Lastrea  dilatata. 

2.  English  Type. — Species  which  have  their  head  quarters  in  England, 

especially  in  the  southern  provinces,  and  become  rare  and  finally 
cease  altogether  towards  the  north.  Examples  : Rhamnus  catharti- 
cus,  Pulicaria  dysenterica,  Convolvulus  sepium,  Tamus  communis. 

3.  Scottish  Type. — Species  which,  contrary  to  those  which  make  up  the 

last  type,  have  their  head  quarters  in  Scotland  or  in  the  northern 
provinces  of  England,  and  become  rare  and  finally  cease  altogether 
southward.  Examples : Trollius  europeus',  Campanula  latifolia, 
Gnaphalium  dioicum. 

4.  Highland  Type. — The  boreal  flora  in  a more  intense  degree.  Species 

which  have  their  head  quarters  amongst  the  Scotch  Highlands,  and 
are  only  found  southward  in  the  vicinity  of  elevated  mountains. 
Examples : Draba  incana,  Rubus  chamsemorus,  Myosotis  alpestris. 

5.  Germanic  Type. — Species  which  have  their  head  quarters  in  the  south- 

east of  England,  and  run  out  northward  and  westward.  Examples  : 

* These  were  first  defined  in  Watson’s  “ Remarks  on  the  Geographical  Distribution  of  British  Plants,” 
published  in  1835.  They  are  fully  explained  in  the  same  author's  “ Cybele  Britannica,”  vol.  i.  pp.  43—55, 
and  under  each  species  in  detail. 


Anemone  Pulsatilla,  Ophrys  apifera,  Brachy  podium  pinnatum. 

6.  Atlantic  Type. — Species  which  have  their  head  quarters  in  the  south- 

west of  England,  and  run  out  northward  and  eastward  Examples  : 
Hypericum  Androssemum,  Sedum  anglicum,  Asplenium  marinum. 

7.  Local  oe  Uncebtain  Type. — Species  too  much  restricted  in  their  dis- 

tribution to  be  ranged  under  any  of  the  preceding  pages.  Ex- 
amples : Actaea  spicata,  Potentilla  fruticosa,  Gentiana  verna.  Or 
doubtful  for  various  reasons 

In  those  cases  in  which  the  species  has  been  discovered  within  the 
limits  of  the  county,  since  the  “ Flora  ” was  published  : or  further  infor- 
mation of  sufficient  importance  to  be  worth  recording  has  been  obtained 
respecting  it : or  correction  and  explanation  were  rendered  necessary, 
the  line  which  contains  the  category  of  citizenship  and  type  of  distribu- 
tion to  which  the  species  belongs  is  followed  by  a paragraph  conveying 
the  requisite  information  As  may  readily  be  supposed,  new  localities 
have  been  ascertained  during  the  interval  which  has  elapsed  since  the 
“ Flora  ” was  published,  for  the  greater  proportion  of  the  rarer  species 
included  in  it.  But  they  have  only  been  given  in  the  present  work  in 
those  cases  where  very  few  localities  were  mentioned  under  a species  in 
the  “ Flora,  ” or  further  verification  and  confirmation  of  its  occurrence 
within  the  limits  of  the  county  has  appeared  desirable.  I may  take  this 
opportunity  of  expressing  an  acknowledgement  of  my  obligations  to 
the  numerous  kind  friends  and  correspondents,  whose  names  will  be 
found  throughout  the  pages  of  the  work,  who  have  furnished  lists  of 
localities,  illustrative  specimens,  and  information  of  various  kinds.  It 
will  be  understood,  that  in  those  localities  which  are  not  followed  by  the 
name  of  any  authority,  I have  personally  collected  the  species  under 
which  they  are  given.  A note  of  admiration  implies  that  I have  examined 
an  authenticated  specimen,  either  from  the  station  specified  or  of  the 
plant  described  by  an  author ; and  in  most  of  these  cases  an  example  is 
preserved  for  reference  in  my  herbarium. 

In  arranging  the  second  part  of  the  work,  my  colleague  has  followed 
the  same  system  of  nomenclature  and  the  same  order  of  sequence  of  the' 
genera  and  species  that  was  adopted  in  the  “ Flora.”  We  should,  however, 
have  preferred  taking  the  “ Brvologia  Europea”  of  Bruch  and  Sehimper 
as  a Standard  of  classification,  if  the  issue  had  been  completed,  or  Wilson’s 


10 


forthcoming  Manual  of  “ British  Bryology,”  if  it  had  been  published  in 
time.  He  has  given  the  synonyms  of  those  species  which  have  appeared 
in  the  former  work  under  different  names : and  has  arranged  the  mosses 
which  the  county  has  been  ascertained  to  produce,  on  the  same  plan  which 
has  been  pursued  with  reference  to  the  Flowering  Plants  and  Ferns. 
That  is  to  say,  he  has  given  the  names  only  where  no  further  information 
of  sufficient  importance  to  be  worth  recording  has  been  obtained  respect- 
ing those  species  which  are  included  in  the  original  work,  but  the  localities 
also  of  novelties  and  rarities.  But  the  mosses  of  a considerable  propor- 
tion of  the  cotmty  have  been  only  very  imperfectly  explored,  and  the  long 
list  of  species  which  we  are  enabled  to  furnish,  is  the  result,  rather  of  the 
persevering  efforts  of  a few  talented  and  diligent  bryologists  in  their  re- 
spective districts,  than  of  the  combined  labours  of  a great  number  of 
observers. 

On  account  of  the  comparative  paucity  of  data  which  have  been  collected 
respecting  the  lower  familes  of  cellular  plants,  we  have  not  thought  it 
desirable  in  the  present  work  to  exceed  the  scope  of  the  original  Flora. 
Respecting  the  Hepaticae  of  Yorkshire,  information  may  be  procured  from 
the  Botanist’s  Guide,  Spruce’s  list  in  the  Phytologist,  (vol.  2,  page  158,) 
and  Mac  Ivor’s  Hepaticae  Britannicae.  Teesdale,  Harriman,  Brunton, 
Dalton,  Hailstone,  and  Gibson,  have  determined  numerous  lichens  in 
different  parts  of  the  county,  and  more  recently,  my  friend  W.  Mudd,  of 
Ayton,  has  published  in  the  Phytologist,  (vol.  5.  page  71,  97,)  a list  of  con- 
siderable extent  of  the  species  which  he  has  found  in  Cleveland.  Various 
botanists  have  collected  maritime  Algae,  and  some  few  have  studied  the 
fresh-water  and  microscopic  groups ; but  nothing  like  a complete  list  of 
the  species  which  may  be  supposed  likely  to  inhabit  the  country  has  been 
obtained.  The  Fungi  of  the  country  present  a wide  field  for  exertion, 
which  has  as  yet  hardly  been  entered  upon.

THE  FLOWERING  PLANTS  AND  FERNS : 

BY 


JOHN  GILBERT  BAKER. 


GENERAL  SUMMARY. 


In  the  present  work  1155  species  of  flowering  plants  and  53  Ferns  are 
enumerated.  Out  of  these,  T3  flowering  plants  and  8 ferns  are  either 
certainly  erroneous,  or  cannot  he  received  with  confidence  as  Yorkshire 
plants  without  further  confirmation  of  their  occurrence.  Of  the  remain- 
ing 1082  flowering  plants,  31  are  naturalized  species  only,  which  are  not 
included  in  the  fourth  edition  of  the  London  catalogue,  and  one  (Salix 
acutifolia)  has  been  discovered  since  it  was  printed.  So  that  out  of  1445 
flowering  plants  enumerated  in  the  catalogue,  1051  species,  or  72 \ per 
cent,  and  out  of  60  ferns,  45  species,  or  75  per  cent,  have  been  ascertained 
at  the  present  time  to  inhabit  Yorkshire.  If  we  deduct  the  alien  species 
of  flowering  plants  the  relative  proportion  of  the  floras,  in  the  number  of 
species  which  they  contain,  still  remains  nearly  the  same ; for  out  of  1336 
species  enumerated  in  the  catalogue,  we  may  claim  955,  or  71%  per  cent. 
But  out  of  1336  flowering  plants  enumerated  in  the  catalogue,  31  species, 
and  out  of  60  ferns,  two  species,  belong  exclusively  to  Ireland  or  the 
Channel  Islands.  So  that  the  true  proportion  which  the  ascertained 
Yorkshire  flora  bears  to  the  ascertained  British  flora  is  71%  per  cent,  or 
1001  species  to  1339. 

The  following  is  a tabular  summary  of  the  species  enumerated  in  the 
present  work,  arranged  according  to  the  categories  of  citizenship  under 
which  they  are  placed : —

Three  species,  all  of  which  are  comparatively  recent  discoveries  in 
Britain,  are  only  known  in  this  country  within  the  limits  of  Yorkshire, 
viz ; — 

Polygala  uliginosa 
Salix  acutifolia 
Carex  paradoxa. 

There  are  strong  reasons  for  believing  a fourth  species  to  be  truly 
native  in  Yorkshire,  which  is  not  known,  except  as  a naturalized  plant, 
elsewhere  in  Britain,  viz. ; — 

Saxifraga  umbrosa. 


Three  of  the  local  species  are  not  known  to  grow  in  any  of  the  eastern

AN  OUTLINE  OF  THE  BEARINGS 

OF  THE 

PHYSICAL  GEOGRAPHY  OF  THE  COUNTY 

UPON  ITS  VEGETATION. 


Tlie  superficial  area  of  the  county  is  stated  at  5836  square  miles.  That 
of  the  whole  of  Britain  is  about  90300  square  miles,  and  yet  we  have  seen 
that  within  the  limits  of  Yorkshire,  three  out  of  every  four  vascular  species 
which  the  island  produces  have  been  ascertained  to  occur.  If,  however, 
the  range  of  climate  and  physical  character  embraced  within  the  area  of 
the  county  was  less  extensive,  the  number  of  species  which  it  furnishes 
would  be  decreased  in  proportion.  As  the  natural  result  of  its  varied 
structure  and  the  varied  elevation  of  different  parts  of  its  surface,  in  its 
flora,  groups  of  plants  of  austral  and  alpine  distribution,  with  the  various 
intermediate  gradations,  meet  and  mingle  together.  The  broad  and  fertile 
central  vale  and  its  ramifications,  where  the  annual  temperature  is  the 
normal  effect  of  latitude,  and  does  not  differ  materially  from  that  of  a 
considerable  part  of  the  midland  counties  of  England,  afford  a flora  com- 
paratively luxuriant  in  species,  typically  southern,  and  essentially  English 
in  its  characteristic  features.  Amongst  the  wide  extent  of  the  broad 
ranges  of  barren  moorlands,  where  the  climate  from  the  elevation  of  the 
surface  corresponds  with  that  of  the  lowland  provinces  of  Scotland,  a 
vegetation  of  a more  northern  stamp  finds  supplied  the  suitable  condi- 
tions for  its  existence.  Whilst  round  the  elevated  peaks  of  the  great 
central  ridge  of  the  island,  cluster  those  more  hardy  and  arctic  species 
(supposed  to  be  the  vestiges  of  the  flora  of  the  pre-glacial  epoch)  which 
find  in  Britain  their  head  quarters  amongst  the  Grampians  of  Perth  ,and 
Forfar,  and  Aberdeen. 

The  author  of  the  “ Cybele  Britannica”  lias  considered  the  surface  of 
Britain  as  subdivided  into  two  climatic  regions.*  The  boundary  between

these  is  marked  by  the  line  of  the  limit  above  which  grain  cannot  be 
cultivated : or  when  this  test  is  not  easy  of  application,  by  the  line  of 
cessation  of  the  common  brake,  (Pteris  aquilina,)  which  is  generally  dif- 
fused throughout  the  whole  extent  of  the  island ; but  only  grows  where 
cultivation  is  practicable.  The  lower  of  these  divisions  possesses  a mean 
annual  temperature,  ranging  from  52  to  about  42  degrees.  It  comprises  a 
much  larger  extent  of  surface  than  the  upper,  but  its  conditions  are  con- 
siderably modified  by  the  operations  of  agriculture  and  the  influence  of 
man.  It  is  therefore  designated  the  region  of  cultivation  or  Agrarian 
region.  The  upper  division  possesses  a range  of  mean  annual  temperature 
from  42  to  about  32  degrees,  and  remains  nearly  in  its  natural  state.  It 
includes  that  portion  of  the  surface  of  the  Scotch  Highlands  which 
rises  above  450  or  500  yards  in  elevation  above  the  level  of  the  sea : and 
of  the  English  and  Welsh  mountains  above  about  600  yards.  Its  charac- 
teristic flora  bears  a strong  analogy  to  that  of  the  north  of  Europe,  and  it 
is  therefore  distinguished  as  the  Arctic  region. 

In  order  to  supply  a means  of  registering  the  vertical  distribution  of 
species,  the  two  climatic  regions  are  each  subdivided  into  three  zones. 
Each  of  these  zones  has  a range  of  about  three  degrees  of  mean  annual 
temperature,  but  the  extent  of  surface  which  they  severally  embrace  is 
necessarily  very  unequal.  Each  is  characterised  by  its  peculiar  flora,  and 
as  an  aid  to  their  recognition  in  practice  we  may  regard  each  as  bounded 
by  the  line  of  limit  of  some  conspicuous  species.  The  author  of  the 
“ Cybele”  furnishes  the  following  table.

The  area  of  Yorkshire  is  embraced  within  the  second,  third,  and  fourth 


19 


of  these  climatic  zones.  The  midagrarian,  or  with  reference  to  the  county 
only,  the  lower  zone,  comprises  all  that  portion  of  the  surface  which  does 
not  attain  an,  elevation  of  about  300  yards.  The  inferarctic  or  upper  zone 
includes  those  mountain  summits  which  exceed  about  600  yards ; and  the 
superagrarian  or  middle  zone,  the  intermediate  space. 

If  we  wish  to  make  more  exact  and  accurate  comparisons  of  the  vertical 
distribution  of  species  than  can  be  supplied  by  tracing  their  zonal  range, 
it  is  easy  to  estimate,  with  sufficient  accuracy  for  practical  purposes,  the 
isotherms  or  lines  of  mean  annual  temperature,  within  which  their 
localities  are  respectively  circumscribed.  The  influence  of  latitude  in 
causing  a variation  between  the  climate  of  different  parts  of  the  county 
is  so  slight  as  scarcely  to  deserve  consideration.  The  mean  annual  tem- 
perature of  the  whole  coast  line  may  therefore  be  stated  in  round  numbers 
at  49  degrees,  though  in  reality,  it  is  rather  less.  That  of  all  inland 
situations  which  are  not  much  above  the  coast  level,  including  the  whole 
of  the  great  central  vale,  may  be  taken  at  48  degrees  For  the  remainder 
of  the  surface,  we  shall  not  fall  far  short  of  accuracy  in  adopting  the  rule 
first  proposed  by  Dalton  of  deducting  one  degree  of  mean  annual  tem- 
perature for  every  hundred  yards  of  elevation.  The  summit  of  Micklefell,  the 
highest  mountain  in  Yorkshire,  attains  an  elevation  of  2580  feet.  So  that 
according  to  the  rule  just  stated,  its  average  annual  temperature  will  be 
rather  less  than  40  degrees  ; and  consequently  the  range  embraced  within 
the  limits  of  the  county,  about  nine  degrees. 

Although  several  districts  have  been  only  very  partially  explored,  it 
is  not  probable  that  the  relative  proportion  which  the  Yorkshire  flora 
bears  to  that  of  the  whole  of  Britain  will  be  materially  increased  as 
knowledge  advances  : seeing  that  most  of  the  species  have  been  found 
which  might  be  expected  to  occur,  from  their  distribution  beyond  the 
limits  of  the  county.  But  although  such  is  the  case,  we  can  only  estimate 
very  imperfectly  from  the  data  which  have  been  accumulated,  the  manner 
in  which  each  species  is  diffused  over  the  surface,  and  the  proportion 
which  each  bears  to  the  general  mass  of  the  vegetation. 

In  order  to  obtain  a means  of  judging  respecting  the  horizontal  distri- 
bution over  the  island,  of  the  species  which  make  up  the  British  flora,  and 
reducing  to  accurate  expression  through  the  medium  of  a numerical  for- 
mula the  knowledge  which  has  been  and  maybe  obtained  respecting  each, 


20 


the  author  of  the  “ Cybele  ” has  considered  the  surface  of  Britain  as  sub- 
divided into  eighteen  botanical  provinces,*  usually  formed  by  grouping  to- 
gether several  counties  which  comprise  the  basin  of  a river,  or  possess  some 
other  physical  peculiarity  in  common.  Amongst  the  counties  of  Britain, 
Yorkshire,  alone,  is  considered  sufficiently  extensive  in  area,  and  natural 
in  its  boundaries,  to  form  a province  of  itself ; and  is  called  the  tenth  or 
Humber  province.  For  the  sake  of  attaining  greater  accuracy,  more 
recently  he  has  mapped  out  the  island  into  thirty-eight  sub-provinces ; f of 
these,  Yorkshire  contains  two,  East  Humber  and  West  Humber,  which  are 
bounded  from  each  other  by  a line  drawn  from  the  southern  bend  of  the 
Tees  to  the  mouth  of  the  Humber  along  the  course  of  the  Wiske,  the 
Swale,  and  the  Ouse.  These  again  he  has  further  sub-divided  into  vice- 
counties, the  total  number  of  which  is  112.  The  East  Humber  sub- 
province contains  two  of  these  vice-counties,  South-east  Yorkshire  and 
North-east  Yorkshire,  the  boundary  between  which  is  the  same  as  that 
between  the  east  and  north  ridings.  The  West  Humber  sub-province 
contains  three  vice-counties,  South-west  Yorkshire,  Mid-west  Yorkshire, 
and  North-west  Yorkshire.  The  boundary  between  the  two  former  of 
these  extends  from  the  Ouse,  along  the  course  of  the  Aire,  to  the  neigh- 
bourhood of  Skipton,  and  then  across  to  Lancashire:  that  between  the 
two  latter  is  a line  drawn  along  the  summit  of  drainage  between  the  TJre 
and  the  Swale. 

But  if  our  special  object  be  to  estimate,  not  the  distribution  of  the  flora 
of  the  whole  island,  but  of  that  of  the  county  only  : if  we  wish  to  trace 
each  species  throughout  the  extent  of  its  surface  more  accurately  than 
could  be  done  by  ascertaining  in  how  many  of  the  sub-provinces  it  occurs; 
and  to  obtain  a closer  idea  of  the  area  of  each,  and  the  proportion  which 
it  bears  to  the  general  mass  of  the  vegetation,  it  will  be  needful  to  descend 
a step  lower  into  detail.  With  slight  exception,  not  only  the  county,  but 
each  of  the  five  sub-provinces  is  bounded  by  natural  limits.  They  may 
therefore  be  readily  subdivided  into  natural  botanical  districts,  each  of 
which  will  comprise  the  whole  or  some  definite  portion  of  the  basin  of  a 
river,  and  can  therefore  be  very  easily  recognised  in  practice.  The  object 
of  the  present  sketch  is  to  point  out  how  the  geological  structure  and 
physical  aspect  of  the  county  are  mirrored  and  reflected  in  its  vegetation,

and  to  suggest  the  means  to  he  employed  in  tracing  the  links  of  connec- 
tion and  relations  between  them.  For  this  purpose  it  will  not  be  needful 
here  to  enter  into  the  details  of  the  geography  and  condition  of  each  of  the 
different  river  basins  -which  the  county  includes.  My  own  attention,  from 
residing  in  the  midst  of  it,  has  been  more  especially  directed  to  the  north 
riding ; the  surface  of  which  embraces  almost  as  wide  a range  of  variation 
as  that  of  the  whole  county,  and  has  been  ascertained  to  produce  all  but 
46  species  which  the  county  affords.  I have  therefore  selected  it  for 
illustration,  and  will  proceed  to  give  a brief  and  cursory  account  of  the 
prominent  features  of  the  respective  districts  which  it  comprises.  I 
would  refer  those  who  may  wish  to  study  the  physical  geography  of  the 
county  to  the  various  works  on  the  subject  by  Professor  Phillips,  especially 
his  latest,  “ The  Rivers,  Mountains,  and  Seacoast  of  Yorkshire,”  from 
which  many  of  the  facts  here  brought  under  consideration  have  been 
obtained. 

As  has  been  already  explained  in  the  Flora,  the  north  riding  consists  of 
a broad  central  vale,  running  north  and  south,  between  two  groups  of 
hills,  the  eastern  range  of  which  has  also  a smaller  depression  both  on 
the  north  and  south.  Of  these,  the  western  series  is  the  most  extensive 
and  attains  the  highest  elevation.  The  general  slope  of  the  surface  is: 
from  west  to  east,  and  consequently  the  general  flow  of  the  river  is  in  the 
same  direction.  With  the  exception  of  a small  tract  of  greenstone  at  the 
north-western  corner  of  the  county,  and  a few  inconsiderable  veins  and 
dikes  of  plutonic  origin,  the  mineral  masses  of  the  surface  are  all  sedi- 
mentary, and  have  been  deposited  during  the  primary  and  secondary 
periods.  In  order  of  succession  they  are  thus  arranged  from  west  to  east; 
each  usually  sloping  more  considerably  in  that  direction  than  the  whole 
mass.

These  strata  have  been  many  times  elevated  and  depressed  during  the 
period  of  their  deposition : and  a considerable  portion  of  them  must  even 
have  been  submerged  since  various  members  of  the  flora  and  fauna  of 
the  county  have  occupied  the  regions  which  they  now  inhabit.  The 
prominent  physical  features  which  we  observe  have  been  gradually  de- 
veloped through  the  long  succession  of  ages  by  the  continual  action  of 
water  upon  the  surface.  So  that  the  strata  formed  of  softer  materials, 
the  sandstones  and  aluminaceous  shales  have  wasted  away  beneath  its 
abrading  influence,  and  now  form  the  central  vale  and  lower  levels  of  the 
county : whilst  the  oolites  and  still  harder  gritstones  have  better  with- 
stood its  power,  and  now  tower  upwards  as  ranges  of  hills  and  moorlands 
of  greater  or  lesser  elevation,  margined  by  “grey  cliffs  and  winding  scars.’’ 

As  may  be  seen  at  a glance  by  reference  to  the  map,  the  three  vice- 
counties of  the  “Cybele  Britannica”  which  are  wholly  or  partially  included 
in  the  north  riding,  may  be  conveniently  subdivided  into  eight  districts, 
founded  upon  the  river  drainage.  Of  these,  North-east  Yorkshire  will 
comprise  five,  North-west  Yorkshire  two,  and  Mid-west  Yorkshire  one- 
If  we  also  include  the  Ainsty,  the  vice-counties  will  contain  respectively 
five,  two,  and  two  districts,  as  below : —

Before  proceeding  to  characterise  these  districts,  it  may  be  desirable  to 
dwell  for  a short  time  on  the  general  features  of  the  vegetation  of  the 
three  climatic  zones. 

As  before  stated,  the  lower,  or  with  reference  to  the  whole  of  Britain, 
the  midagrarian  zone  may  be  considered  to  comprise  all  that  portion  of 
the  surface  which  does  not  attain  an  elevation  above  the  sea  of  about  300 
yards.  Consequently,  it  includes  the  whole  of  the  central  vale  : on  the 
east,  the  vales  of  Cleveland  and  Pickering  and  the  wide  extent  of  the  sur- 
face of  the  oolitic  moorlands,  with  the  exception  of  the  summit  of  Boseberry 
Topping  and  a few  other  detached  peaks ; and  also  a broad  branched 
serpentine  strip  which  forms  the  watershed  between  the  rivers  Derwent, 
Swale,  Leven,  and  Esk : and  on  the  west,  narrow  at  first,  but  widening  as 
the  rivers  descend,  the  valley  of  the  Tees  to  the  neighbourhood  of  Hol- 
wick  and  Mickleton,  Swaledale  to  the  vicinity  of  Muker,  and  Wensleydale 
to  the  junction  of  the  two  forks  of  the  Ure  near  Hawes.  The  great  body 
of  its  vegetation  is  made  up  of  the  species  enumerated  throughout  the 
work  as  belonging  to  the  British  type  of  distribution  : but  these  mostly 
ascend  also  into  one  or  both  of  the  upper  zones.  But  those  which  make 
up  the  three  austral  types  (i.  e.  English,  Germanic,  and  Atlantic,)  seldom 
pass  up  above  the  limits  of  the  present  zone.  Some  of  them  are  com- 
paratively plentiful,  and  are  probably  distributed  at  intervals  throughout 
almost  the  whole  extent  of  its  surface.  As  examples  of  this  class,  I may 
mention  Cornus  sanguinea,  Pulicaria  dysenterica,  Ranunculus  arvensis, 
Bryonia  dioica,  Rhamnus  catharticus,  Scrophularia  aquatica,  Acer  cam- 
pestre,  Convolvulus  sepium,  Tamus  communis.  But  others,  such  as  most 
of  the  species  previously  mentioned  as  finding  their  boreal  limit  in  the 
county,  are  much  more  restricted  in  their  range.  The  flora  of  this  zone 
is  also  characterised  by  the  comparitive  rarity  within  its  precincts  of 
many  of  the  more  or  less  boreal  species,  as  Trientalis  europsea,  Primula 
farinosa,  Listera  cordata,  Empetrum  nigrum,  Habenaria  albida,  Gnaph- 
alium  dioicum. 

The  middle,  or  with  reference  to  the  whole  of  Britain,  the  superagrarian 
zone  includes,  on  the  east,  the  detached  peaks  before  mentioned,  and 
the  broad  branched  serpentine  strip  forming  the  watershed  between 
the  rivers  Derwent,  Swale,  Leven,  and  Esk:  and  on  the  other  side 
of  the  great  central  vale,  that  considerable  portion  of  the  western 


24 


part  of  the  county,  and  the  parallel  ranges  of  hills  between  Teesdale, 
Swaledale,  Wensleydale,  and  Nidderdale,  which  lies  above  an  elevation 
of  about  three  hundred  yards,  and  below  the  limits  of  possible  cultivation. 
Its  surface  consists  principally  of  broad  bleak  moorlands,  sparingly  inter- 
spersed with  cultivated  land,  and  consequently  there  is  not  nearly  so 
much  variety  in  situation  as  in  the  zone  below,  and  the  number  of  species 
which  make  up  its  flora  is  comparatively  small.  The  bulk  of  its  vegeta- 
tion is  composed  of  species  which  would  naturally  be  equally  plentiful  in 
the  lower  zone,  but  which  have  there  been  considerably  diminished  in 
quantity  by  drainage,  and  the  operations  of  agriculture  : as  Calluna  vulga- 
ris, Erica  Tetralix  and  cinerea,  Nardus  stricta,  Juncus  squarrosus,  Scirpus 
csespitosus.  The  species  which  make  up  the  colonist  class  of  citizenship, 
many  of  which  are  plentiful  in  the  lower  zone,  are  here  comparatively 
rare,  whilst  the  aliens  are  almost  altogether  wanting.  Some  of  the  species 
which  belong  to  the  two  boreal  types  of  distribution  (i.  e.  the  Highland 
and  Scottish)  appear  in  the  riding  to  be  peculiar  to  this  zone,  but  they 
are  mostly  of  very  limited  diffusion.  Of  this  class  Saxifraga  Hirculus, 
Hieracium  iricum  and  croeatum,  Meum  athamanticum,  Arbutus  Uva  ursi, 
Allosorus  crispus,  Equisetum  umbrosum  and  variegatum,  are  examples. 
Other  species,  as  Draba  incana,  Rubus  Chamsemorus,  Saxifraga  aizoides 
and  stellaris,  Bartsia  alpina,  Gentiana  verna,  and  Carex  capillaris,  are 
common  to  this  and  the  upper  zone. 

The  upper  or  inferarctic  zone  comprises  those  mountain  summits,  about 
twenty  in  number,  near  the  western  boundary  of  the  county,  which  rise 
above  the  limits  of  possible  cultivation.  Marked  upon  the  map,  the  por- 
tions of  surface  which  it  embraces  appear  to  consist  of  two  groups  : one 
of  them  a horse-shoe  shaped  tract  encircling  the  head  of  Swaledale, 
with  several  minor  circular  patches  in  its  vicinity : the  other  a single 
oblong  streak  between  Lunedale  and  Teesdale.  The  flora  of  this  zone  is 
made  up  of  only  a very  small  number  of  species,  and  is  best  characterised 
by  the  absence  of  a large  class  of  plants  which  are  common  in  both  the 
zones  of  the  Agrarian  region,  including  all  the  more  conspicuous  trees 
and  shrubs,  and  the  weeds  which  attend  upon  cultivation.  A few,  however, 
of  the  species  belonging  to  the  Highland  type  of  distribution,  appear  (in 
the  riding)  to  be  peculiar  to  it.  Amongst  these  are  Myosotis  alpestris, 
(the  most  thoroughly  boreal  species  which  has  been  found  in  Yorkshire,) 


Thalictrum  alpinum,  Helianthemum  eanum,  Dryas  octopetala,  Epilobium 
alsinifolium,  and  Tofieldia  palustris. 

Reversing  the  order  of  the  districts  we  begin  with — 

No.  IX.— WEST  TEES. 

Drainage. — Taking  its  rise  on  the  slope  of  Cross  fell  in  Cumberland, 
augmented  by  the  drainage  of  the  dreary  moors  of  Milburn  and  Har- 
thorpe,  after  spreading  out  into  a tarn-like  expansion,  called  the  Weal, 
and  thus  forming,  for  several  miles,  the  boundary  between  Westmoreland 
and  Durham,  the  Tees  introduces  itself  to  Yorkshire,  thundering  over  an 
irregular  series  of  basaltic  cliffs,  two  hundred  feet  in  height,  called  the 
Caldron  Snout ; and  forms  for  the  remainder  of  its  course  the  northern 
limit  of  the  county.  Below  the  waterfall,  it  is  joined  by  the  Maizebeck, 
and  flows  towards  the  east  in  a broad  rocky  channel,  margined  on  the 
south  by  the  scars  of  Cronkley,  and  on  the  north  by  Falcon  Clints  : and 
after  a few  miles,  it  falls  over  a perpendicular  cliff  of  greenstone  69  feet 
in  height,  forming  the  High  Force.  Thence  descending  rapidly  in  a more 
confined  bed,  it  runs  through  a rich  and  well  known  botanical  district, 
under  the  bridges  of  Lower  Cronkley  and  Wince,  and  advances  for  about 
the  next  twelve  miles  in  a south-eastern  direction.  Till  its  junction  with 
the  Lune,  opposite  Middleton,  a range  of  cliffs,  gradually  lessening  in 
height,  runs  parallel  with  it  at  some  distance.  Afterwards,  the  hills  recede 
and  decrease  in  altitude : and  the  river  flows  past  the  villages  of  Romald- 
kirk,  Cotherstone,  and  Lartington,  and  is  joined  at  intervals  by  the  parallel 
streams  which  drain  respectively  Balderdale,  Grizedale,  and  Deepdale. 
Below  Barnard  Castle  it  receives  the  Greta  from  the  forest  of  Stainmoor ; 
and  thence,  entering  the  central  vale,  it  flow's  with  many  sinuosities 
towards  the  east,  the  district  which  it  drains  being  considerably  narrowed 
in  breadth. 

Surface. — From  the  summit  of  Micklefell,  2580  feet  in  altitude,  the  forest 
of  Lune  slopes  gradually  towards  the  east  to  Cronkley  Scarrs ; and  is 
principally  included  in  the  arctic  region.  The  moors  to  the  south  are 
considerably  less  elevated,  and  the  highest  peaks  do  not  exceed  1860  and 
1448  feet.  The  surface  ascends  to  the  line  of  watershed  between  Greta- 
dale  and  Arkendale,  where  Hoove  and  Baxton  Nab  nearly  attain  the  upper 


26 


limit  of  the  middle  zone.  The  lower  zone  includes  the  whole  of  the 
eastern  portion  of  the  district,  the  valley  of  the  Tees  till  above  its  junc- 
tion with  the  Lune,  and  the  lower  levels  of  the  subordinate  dales. 

Structure. — The  course  of  the  Tees  from  the  Caldron  Snout  to  the  High 
Force  runs  over  a mass  of  basalt,  called  the  Whin  Sill,  which  ascends 
Maizebeck  for  about  two  miles,  and  attains  an  elevation  of  about  1800  feet, 
in  the  almost  inaccessible  cliffs  of  Cronkley.  By  contact  with  the 
plutonic  rock,  the  narrow'  ridge  of  scar  limestone  which  borders  it,  the 
oldest  in  our  series  of  deposits,  is  in  a great  measure  metamorphosed  into 
a coarsely  granular  “ sugar  limestone,”  wdiich  produces  several  plants  not 
found  elsewhere  in  the  riding.  Next  in  succession,  over  Micklefell  and 
along  the  western  margin  of  the  county,  extend  Yoredale  limestones,  which 
also  cover  a small  district  south  of  the  junction  of  the  Greta  with  the 
Tees.  Whilst  on  the  east,  the  broad  moors  which  surround  the  dales  of 
of  the  Balder  and  Greta,  and  extend  to  the  summit  of  drainage  on  the 
south,  consist  of  millstone  grit.  In  the  neighbourhood  of  Croft,  are 
traces  of  Permian  deposits,  wdth  their  botanical  concomitant  in  Anemone 
Pulsatilla : and  from  thence  to  the  boundary  of  the  district  stretches  the 
new  red  sandstone  of  the  central  vale. 

No.  VIII.— WEST  SWALE. 

Drainage. — The  Swale  takes  its  rise  by  numerous  branches  amongst 
the  lofty  series  of  undulated  summits  which  form  the  boundary  between 
Yorkshire  and  Westmoreland.  From  Hollow  Mill-cross  the  main  branch 
flows  due  east  for  about  five  miles,  receiving  numerous  inconsiderable 
feeders  both  from  the  north  and  the  south.  Opposite  the  celebrated  Auld 
Gang  lead  mines  it  curves  towards  the  south,  the  valley  widening  to  en- 
circle the  curious  conical  mound  of  Keasdon,  1639  feet  in  altitude.  South- 
ward of  this,  below  the  small  town  of  Muker,  it  again  advances  due  east, 
and  maintains  that  direction  till  Swraledale  loses  itself  in  the  great 
central  vale.  Margined  by  the  scars  of  the  gradually  descending  summits, 
at  Reeth  it  receives  the  considerable  stream  which  rises  near  Baxton  Nab 
and  drains  Arkengarthdale.  Below  Grinton  the  dale  widens  and  becomes 
more  highly  populated  and  cultivated.  At  Marske  the  river  receives  an 
addition  from  the  moorlands  on  the  north ; and  after  flowing  past  Rich- 


27 


mond  it  is  joined  by  another  branch  from  Barningham  and  Dalton.  Below 
Catterick  it  winds  through  a more  level  country,  in  a south  eastern  direc- 
tion. At  Deeming  it  is  further  augmented  by  Grim  scar  Beck,  which  rises 
amongst  the  group  of  summits  a few  miles  south  of  Beeth,  and  flows  past 
Bellerby  and  Bedale.  After  its  junction  with  the  Wiske,  near  Sandhutton, 
the  Swale  forms  the  boundary  between  the  eastern  and  western  sub-pro- 
vinces. The  district  which  it  drains  on  the  west  becomes  much  narrower, 
and  does  not  contain  any  town  of  importance.  Opposite  the  mouth  of 
Codbeck  is  Leckby  Carr,  the  original  British  station  for  Scheiwhzeria 
palustris.  At  My  ton  the  Swale  unites  with  the  Ure. 

Surface. — A considerable  portion  of  the  watershed  of  the  Swale  is 
included  within  the  arctic  region.  Between  Arkendale  and  Swaledale,  the 
summits  of  Rogan’s  Seat,  Watercrag  and  Pinseat  attain  respectively  an 
elevation  of  2207,  2192,  and  2125  feet.  Round  the  head  of  Swaledale 
several  peaks  exceed  2000  feet.  Of  these,  the  loftiest  is  Hugh  Seat  (2330 
feet).  Along  the  summit  of  drainage  between  the  Swale  and  the  Yore,  rise 
the  peaks  of  Shunnor  Fell  (2351  feet),  the  second  in  altitude  of  the  moun- 
tains of  north  Yorkshire,  Lovely  Seat  (2216  feet),  and  Bakestone  Edge 
(1983  feet),  The  remaining  portion  of  the  more  considerable  moorlands, 
including  the  upper  part  of  Arkengarthdale  and  the  valley  of  the  Swale 
above  Muker,  are  comprised  in  the  middle  zone.  The  whole  of  the  eastern 
part  of  the  district,  from  Richmond  racecourse,  on  the  north  side  of  the 
river,  and  Downholme  moor,  on  the  south,  with  the  lower  levels  of  the 
dales,  is  included  in  the  lower  zone. 

Structure. — The  principal  summits  at  the  head  of  Swaledale,  and  the 
lower  levels  of  the  vallies  of  the  Swale  and  Arkle,  are  formed  from  lime- 
stones of  the  Yoredale  series.  The  surface  of  the  more  elevated  portions 
of  the  moorlands  sloping  gradually  towards  the  east,  consists  of  millstone 
grit.  New  red  sandstone  strata,  overlaid  with  diluvial  clays,  fill  up  the 
eastern  part  of  the  district.  At  Topclifle  the  river  touches  the  lias  forma- 
tion. 

No.  VII.— URE. 

Drainage. — Wensleydale  is  formed  by  the  junction  of  two  branches, 
Widdale  and  Cotterdale,  which  unite  below  the  town  of  Hawes.  The 
river  is  supplied  by  numerous  small  streamlets,  which  rise  amongst  the 


28 


lofty  moors  of  Mossdale  and  Abbotside,  some  of  which,  are  diversified  by 
waterfalls  of  considerable  height.  During  the  earlier  part  of  its  course  it 
runs  in  an  eastern  direction,  almost  parallel  with  the  Swale,  at  a distance 
from  it  varying  from  five  to  seven  miles.  Opposite  the  town  of  Askrigg  it 
receives  a considerable  stream  from  Seamer  water,  which  rises  amongst 
the  summits  of  Stake  Fell  and  Yokenthwaite  moor.  The  district  which  the 
Ure  drains  on  the  north  is  necessarily  very  limited,  and  seldom  exceeds 
three  miles  in  breadth.  It  includes  the  town  of  Leyburn,  and  the  ruins  of 
the  castle  of  Bolton.  Below  Askrigg  are  three  interesting  waterfalls,  the 
largest  of  which,  Millgill  Force,  is  69  feet  in  height.  There  is  another, 
rather  lower  down,  at  Aysgarth,  after  which  the  river  is  considerably 
augmented  by  the  united  streams  which  flow  down  Bishopdale  and 
Waldendale.  Passing  beneath  the  peak  of  Penhill,  (1817  feet)  at  Middle- 
ham,  it  is  joined  by  the  Cover,  which  rises  near  to  Little  Whernside,  not 
far  from  the  head  of  Nidderdale.  At  Witton  and  Jerveaux  Abbey  it  enters 
the  central  vale,  and  flows  in  a south  eastern  direction  for  the  remainder 
of  its  course.  From  Masham  to  its  junction  with  the  Swale,  it  forms  the 
boundary  between  the  north  and  west  ridings. 

Surface. — As  mentioned  under  the  last  district,  a portion  of  the  water- 
shed between  the  Swale  and  the  Yore  attains  the  arctic  region.  At  the 
point  of  juncture  between  the  north  and  west  ridings,  the  peaks  of  Wild 
Boar  Fell,  Swarth  Fell,  Bow  Fell,  and  Sayls,  attain  or  exceed  2200  feet. 
Between  Widdale  and  Cotterdale,  and  towards  the  head  of  the  former 
dale,  and  along  the  summit  of  drainage  between  Wensleydale  and  Kettle- 
welldale,  are  several  fells  of  considerable  altitude,  with  lateral  ridges 
between  Bishopdale,  Coverdale,  and  Nidderdale.  The  remainder  of  the 
western  portion  of  the  district,  including  the  valley  of  the  Ure  above 
Hawes,  and  the  moorlands  to  Leyburn  and  Witton,  are  comprised  in  the 
middle  zone.  The  lower  zone  includes  a narrow  strip  of  surface  which 
stretches  along  the  north  side  of  the  river  to  its  junction  with  the  Swale, 
and  the  less  elevated  portions  of  the  various  dales. 

Structure. — As  before  mentioned,  the  watershed  between  the  Swale 
and  the  Ure  consists  of  mill-stone  grit  strata,  which  also  descend  to  the 
river  at  Masham,  and  form  the  summit  of  drainage  between  Bishopdale 
and  Coverdale.  The  surface  of  the  remainder  of  the  western  portion  of 
the  district  consists  of  a series  of  limestones  of  earlier  date,  which  have 


20 


been  called  “ Yoredale  limestones,”  from  their  abundant  developement 
here.  A narrow  ridge  of  magnesian  limestone  borders  the  millstone  grit 
at  Tanfield  and  Shape.  The  remainder  of  the  district  is  included  in  the 
great  central  vale. 

No.  VI.— NIDD  AND  WHABFE. 

Dra.ina.ge. — The  Ainsty  is  a highly  populated  and  richly  cultivated 
district,  only  82  miles  in  superficial  area,  bounded  on  three  sides  by  the 
rivers  Nidd,  Wharfe,  and  Ouse,  and  on  the  west  by  a line  drawn  from 
Colthorpe  to  Thorpe  Arch.  The  southern  portion  is  drained  by  a small 
stream,  the  two  branches  of  which  rise  near  Wighill  and  Marston.  It 
flows  towards  the  south-east  and  falls  into  the  Wharfe,  near  Bolton 
Percy.  On  the  north,  also,  a rivulet  rises-near  Bilton,  and  falls  into  the 
Ouse  opposite  Overton. 

Surface. — The  surface  is  very  little  undulated  or  elevated;  so  that  no 
portion  of  the  district  rises  above  the  isothermal  line  of  48  degees.  Near 
Askham  are  a series  of  low  wooded  bogs,  which  produce  in  abundance 
the  very  local  Carex  paradoxa. 

Structure. — The  surface  of  nearly  the  whole  of  the  district,  like  that  of 
the  remainder  of  the  great  central  vale,  consists  of  new  red  sandstone 
strata,  overlaid  with  diluvial  deposits.  A narrow  terrace  of  magnesian 
limestone  bounds  them  on  the  west,  and  margins  with  cliffs  that  portion 
of  the  rivers. 


No.  V.— EAST  TEES. 

Drainage. — From  the  southern  bend  of  the  Tees  below  Darlington,  it 
flows  with  many  windings  in  a north-eastern  direction,  past  the  towns  of 
Yarm  and  Stockton,  and  expands  into  an  estuary  at  Middlesborough. 
The  ballast  hills  around  its  mouth  afford  an  interesting  ground  for  the 
botanist,  as  they  produce  several  species  which  have  originally  been  in- 
troduced from  the  south  of  England,  or  the  Continent.  The  marshes  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  Coatham  and  Bedcar  are  intersected  by  numerous 
salt  water  ditches,  (locally  called  stells,)  which  supply  various  maritime 
rarities.  The  Leven  is  formed  by  the  union  of  two  branches,  which  unite 
near  the  town  of  Stokesley.  The  northern  of  these  rises  near  Codhill, 


30 


not  far  from  the  source  of  the  Esk,  and  flows  down  Kildale,  past  Stokes- 
ley  and  Ayton ; the  other  on  the  slope  of  Burton  Head,  the  loftiest  of 
East  Yorkshire  summits.  The  united  streams  wind  towards  the  west,  and 
soon  receive,  on  the  north,  the  Tame,  which  rises  on  Eston  Nab  and  flows 
past  Ormesby  and  Nunthorpe ; and  on  the  south  several  inconsiderable 
feeders  from  the  banks  of  Dromanby  and  Carlton.  At  Budby,  the  Leven 
is  joined  by  the  stream  which  drains  Scugdale,  and  turns  in  a northern 
direction.  After  flowing  past  Hilton  and  Kirklevington,  it  enters  the  Tees 
below  Yarm. 

Surface. — The  summit  of  the  drainage  of  this  district,  on  the  east  and 
south,  along  Boseberry  Topping  (1022  feet),  Burton  Head  (1485  feet), 
Wainstones  (1800  feet),  Cranimoor  (1428  feet),  Dromanby  Bank  and  Carl- 
ton Bank  (1325  feet),  is  included  in  the  middle  zone;  but  the  surface 
descends  abruptly,  and  the  whole  of  the  remainder  of  the  district,  though 
considerably  undulated,  does  not  rise  above  the  lower  zone. 

Structure. — The  southern  summits  consist  of  a series  of  arenaceous 
and  argillaceous  deposits,  corresponding  to  the  Bath  oolite  of  the  south 
of  England.  Below  these,  a broad  band  of  the  shales  and  marlstones 
of  the  lias  extends  from  the  coast  at  Marske,  along  the  upper  branch  of 
the  Leven,  to  Osmotherley.  The  north-western  portion  of  the  district  is 
included  in  the  great  central  vale. 


No.  IV.— ESK. 

Drainage. — The  Esk  is  formed  by  the  junction  of  two  streams  which 
unite  near  Castleton.  The  northern  of  these  rises  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  Boseberry  Topping,  not  far  from  the  head  of  the  Leven,  and  flows 
down  Sleddale  and  Commondale.  The  southern  is  supplied  by  the  drain- 
age of  Baysdale  and  the  two  divisions  of  Westerdale.  From  their  point 
of  junction,  the  river  flows  due  east  for  about  fifteen  miles,  through  a 
well-wooded  valley,  interesting  alike  to  the  botanist  and  the  antiquarian. 
It  is  joined  by  numerous  rivulets  during  its  course,  each  of  which  takes 
its  name  from  the  dale  through  which  it  runs.  Between  Castleton  and 
the  town  of  Egton  are  Danbydale,  Fryopdale,  and  Glaisedale  on  the  south, 
and  Stonegate  Gill  on  the  north,  each  three  or  four  miles  in  length.  At 
Grosmont  Bridge  the  Esk  is  joined  by  a branched  and  more  considerable 


31 


stream  from  Goathland  Dale,  upon  which  is  the  waterfall  called  Thomas- 
son’s  Force.  Below  Sleights  the  hills  decrease  in  altitude,  and  the  valley 
expands  after  its  junction  with  Iburndale.  Near  Ruswarp  the  river  curves 
slightly  towards  the  north,  and  is  joined  by  Cockmill  Beck,  and  soon  after- 
wards falls  into  the  sea  at  Whitby.  From  Robin  Hood’s  Bay  to  Saltburn, 
the  coast  is  margined  by  a series  of  elevated  cliffs,  which  rise  near  Boulby 
to  an  elevation  of  681  feet.  Near  Staiths  is  the  mouth  of  a small  stream, 
of  which  the  two  principal  branches  rise  on  the  northern  slope  of  Danby 
Beacon.  Another  rivulet  rises  near  Freeburgh  Hill,  and  falls  into  the  sea 
at  Skinningrove.  A more  considerable  beck  rises  below  the  recently  dis- 
covered station  for  Gyperus  fuscus,  at  the  head  of  Sleddale,  and  flows  past 
Guisborough  and  Skelton  to  Saltburn.  From  Saltburn  to  Marske  the 
coast  is  guarded  by  a series  of  bold  rocky  embankments,  gradually  des- 
cending northward  into  a range  of  loose  sand-hills,  firmly  bound  together 
by  the  interlacing  roots  of  Ammophila  arundinacea  and  Triticum  junceum. 

Surface. — North  of  the  Esk,  from  Roseberry  Topping  and  Guisborough 
Moor,  the  hills  slope  gradually  eastward,  so  that  only  the  western  ridge 
and  a few  detached  summits  attain  the  middle  zone.  The  watershed  on 
the  south  of  the  river  declines  in  the  same  direction,  from  Burton  Head 
(1485  feet)  along  Farndale  Head  (1412  feet),  Shunnor  Hoe  (1404  feet),  and 
Lilia  Cross  (1000).  The  remainder  of  the  surface  belongs  to  the  lower 
zone. 

Structure. — The  moorlands,  both  north  and  south  of  the  Esk,  consist  of 
strata  belonging  to  the  Lower  Oolite  formation.  Beneath  these  extend  the 
shales  and  ironstones  of  the  lias  period,  filling  up  the  lower  levels  of  the 
dales,  and  composing  the  whole  of  the  cliffs  at  many  parts  of  the  coast. 

No.  III.— DERWENT. 

Drainage. — South  of  Robin  Hood’s  Bay,  the  cliffs  which  margin  the 
coast  attain  their  highest  elevation  in  High  Peak  (585  feet),  and  then 
descend  gradually  towards  Scarborough  and  Filey.  At  Scalby  is  the 
mouth  of  a small  stream  about  five  miles  in  length,  which  runs  past 
Cloughton  and  Burniston.  The  Derwent  rises  only  three  miles  from  the 
coast,  about  midway  between  Whitby  and  Scarborough.  At  first,  it  flows 
southward,  down  Harewooddale,  Longdale,  and  the  valley  of  Hackness, 


32 


during  which  portion  of  its  course  it  is  joined  by  numerous  inconsider- 
able feeders.  Above  Ganton,  it  receives  the  Hartford  river,  which  rises 
in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  Filey.  Afterwards,  it  turns  towards  the  west, 
and  forms,  for  the  greater  part  of  the  remainder  of  its  course,  the  south- 
ern boundary  of  the  riding.  At  Newstead,  it  receives  a rivulet  from 
Ellerburn  and  Thornton.  Above  Malton,  it  directs  its  course  towards  the 
southwest,  and  is  joined  by  the  Eye — a river  which  is  formed  by  the 
union  of  numerous  small  streams  of  considerable  length,  which  rise 
amongst  the -moorlands  on  the  North;  each  of  which  flows  down  a dale 
for  the  early  part  of  its  course,  and  then  descends  into  the  level  country 
of  the  vale  of  Pickering.  From  east  to  west  in  order  of  succession  are, 
the  Hole  of  Horcurn,  (in  which  grows  Gornus  suecica,)  Newtondale,  Bose- 
dale,  Farndale,  Brantsdale,  Bilsdale,  and  Snailesworth,  with  several  others 
of  lesser  extent.  The  vale  of  Pickering  contains  the  towns  of  Helmsley, 
Kirby-Moorside,  Malton,  and  Pickering,  and  the  abbeys  of  Bievaulx  and 
Byland.  An  eastern  branch  from  Byland  and  Ampleforth,  aud  another 
from  Hovingham  and  Slingsbyjoin  the  Eye  near  Brawby.  Below  Barton, 
the  Derwent  receives  a further  augmentation  from  the  Howardian  hills, 
which  rises  near  Bransby,  not  far  from  the  head  of  the  Foss.  At  Helms- 
ley, about  five  miles  north-east  of  York,  it  directs  it  course  due  south, 
and  entirely  leaves  the  north  riding. 

Surface. — The  summit  of  drainage  along  the  Hambleton  Hills  on  the 
west,  and  the  watershed  between  the  Derwent  and  the  Esk,  with  lateral 
ridges  of  surface  between  several  of  the  dales,  are  included  in  the  middle 
zone.  The  whole  of  the  remainder  of  this  extensive  district,  sloping 
towards  the  east  and  the  south-west,  belongs  to  the  lower  zone. 

Structure. — The  level  district  called  the  vale  of  Pickering,  extending 
from  Filey  on  the  sea-coast  to  Kirby-Moorside  and  nearly  to  Helmsley  on 
the  west,  consists  of  Kimmeridge  clay  strata.  Eound  these,  embracing 
the  southern  portion  of  the  moorlands,  and  extending  through  the  level 
country  to  the  Derwent  below  Malton,  occur  upper  oolitic  deposits.  The 
next  in  succession,  occupying  the  surface  of  the  summit  of  drainage  on 
the  north  and  west,  and  a district  in  the  level  country  to  the  south  of  that 
last  mentioned,  are  oolites  of  an  earlier  era.  Below  these  is  a narrow  band 
belonging  to  the  lias  period,  and  south  of  all  a small  portion  of  the  great 
central  vale.

No.  II.— EAST  SWALE. 

Drainage. — The  Wiske  rises  near  Osmotherley,  and  curves  towards  the 
west.  Near  Cowton  it  receives  the  drainage  of  several  small  lakes,  and 
directs  its  course  due  south;  forming,  till  its  junction  with  the  Swale,  the 
boundary  between  the  eastern  and  western  sub-provinces.  Below  North- 
allerton it  receives  a small  stream,  which  flows  in  a south-western  direc- 
tion from  Hartsey  and  Brompton.  The  Codbeck  is  formed  by  the  union 
of  two  principal  branches.  The  northern  of  these  rises  near  Osmotherley, 
and  flows  past  Sigston  and  Crosby ; the  other  on  the  slope  of  Black  Ham- 
bleton,  flowing  past  Kepwick  and  Borrowby.  The  united  streams  wind 
towards  the  south-east,  and  receive  at  Kilvington  a rivulet  from  the  vicinity 
of  F eliskirk.  Passing  Thirsk,  below  Gristh  waite  they  are  joined  by  a con- 
siderable stream,  which  flows  past  Boltby  and  Sutton-under- Whitstonecliff, 
and  fall  into  the  Swale  below  Topcliffe.  At  Cundall,  the  Swale  receives  a 
rivulet  on  the  east,  which  rises  on  the  southern  slope  of  Hood  Hill,  and 
runs  past  Coxwold  and  Sessay. 

Sureace. — The  middle  zone  includes  the  summit  of  drainage  between 
the  Swale  and  the  Derwent,  along  Black  Hambleton  (1246  feet),  Kepwick 
Bank  (1148  feet),  Boltby  Scar  (1106  feet),  Whitstonecliffe  (1078  feet),  and 
Rolston  Scar.  The  surface  sinks  into  the  central  vale  by  a single  abrupt 
descent,  and  the  bank  is  interspersed  by  several  series  of  irregular  cliffs 
and  precipices.  Below  two  of  these  the  lower  strata  have  slipped  away, 
and  lakes  have  been  formed  at  Gormire  and  above  Kirby  Knowle.  The 
first  of  these  is  about  a mile  in  circumference ; the  other  is  more  elevated, 
but  considerably  smaller.  The  remainder  of  the  district  is  all  comprised 
in  the  lower  zone. 

Structure. — The  surface  of  the  moorlands  consist  of  oolitic  strata  in 
the  form  of  coralline  limestone,  calcareous  gritstones,  and  clays.  Below 
these  extend  a series  of  liassic  deposits  of  varied  mineral  character,  which 
form  a broad  belt  on  the  east  and  south  of  the  oolite,  extending  from  Os- 
motherley to  the  neighbourhood  of  Northallerton  and  Thirsk,  and  touch- 
ing the  Swale  at  Topcliffe.  The  remainder  of  the  district,  like  the  rest  of 
the  central  vale,  is  filled  up  with  new  red  sandstone  strata,  overlaid  with 
boulder  (post  pliocene)  diluvium, 
c

No.  I.— OUSE  AND  FOSS. 

Drainage. — The  Swale  and  Ure  unite  together  at  My  ton,  and  wind 
towards  the  south-east,  the  united  streams  taking  the  name  of  Ouse.  At 
Newton  the  river  receives  a considerable  stream  from  the  north-east,  the 
northern  branch  of  which  rises  near  Easkelf  and  Easingwold,  and  the 
southern  in  the  forest  of  Galtres.  The  Foss  takes  its  rise  in  the  un- 
dulated distript  about  Gilling  and  Coxwold,  and  flows  towards  the  south- 
west past  Stillington  and  Strensall,  joining  the  Ouse  at  York. 

Surface. — Though  considerably  undulated  at  its  north-eastern  corner, 
none  of  this  district  rises  above  the  lower  zone. 

Structure. — The  greater  part  of  the  surface  of  this  district  consists  of 
the  new  red  sandstone  strata  of  the  central  vale.  On  the  east,  these  are 
margined  by  a broad  band  of  lias  which  contains  the  town  of  Easingwold. 


At  present  it  will  not  be  needful  to  describe  the  drainage  districts  which 
make  up  the  east  and  west  ridings,  but  they  may  be  easily  traced  upon  a 
good  map  of  the  county.  A few  words  in  conclusion,  respecting  the 
position  in  which  we  stand  and  the  path  for  future  exertion,  may  be  not 
unnecessary.  So  far  as  we  are  enabled  to  judge  from  theoretical  con- 
siderations, the  species  of  Exogens,  Endogens,  and  even  of  Acrogens, 
which  the  county,  viewed  as  a whole,  produces,  have  been  ascertained  and 
determined  with  a tolerably  close  approximation  to  completeness : although 
no  doubt  a few  others,  which  have  not  yet  been  detected  within  our  limits, 
will  be  discovered  by  future  research.  But  we  can  only  form  a general, 
and  in  consequence,  necessarily  a vague  idea  of  the  proportions  in  which 
they  unite  together  to  form  the  general  body  of  the  vegetation,  and  the 
manner  in  which  is  distributed  over  the  surface.  Leaving  the  Thallogens 
out  of  consideration,  the  determination  of  the  Flora  of  Yorkshire  is,  to  all 
intents  and  purposes,  accomplished;  but  the  general  outline  only  is  traced 
of  the  Gybele  of  the  county.  The  kaleidoscope  is  formed  and  the  objects 
supplied;  but  the  mirrors  require  nicer  adjustment  before  we  can  obtain 
symmetrically  combined  and  accurate  reflections.  The  most  useful 


35 


manner,  therefore,  in  which  those  who  wish  to  advance  our  knowledge  of 
the  geographical  botany  can  employ  themselves,  is  by  tracing  the  range 
of  the  species,  both  commoner  and  rarer,  which  the  county  affords ; 
horizontally,  by  means  of  the  sub-provinces,  vice-counties,  and  subordinate 
districts : vertically,  by  using  the  climatic  regions  and  zones,  and  the  lines 
of  mean  annual  temperature,  as  before  explained.  I shall  be  glad  at  any 
time  to  receive  lists  of  species  observed  within  any  of  the  districts  of 
superior  or  inferior  grade,  especially  those  which  make  up  the  north 
riding,  and  facts  respecting  the  zones  which  they  inhabit,  or  the  eleva- 
tions which  they  attain.  It  is  only  by  accumulating  details  in  the  first 
instance,  and  afterwards  analysing  and  comparing  them,  that  we  can 
ascend  to  theconsideration  in  a satisfactory  manner,  and  finally  arrive 
at  a correct  appreciation  of  general  principles  and  relations. 


GENERA  AND  SPECIES, 


ARRANGED  ACCORDING  TO  THE  FOURTH  EDITION  OF 

® foutott  Catitlogue. 


ORDER  I.  RANUNCULACEiE. 


CLEMATIS. 

1.  C.  Vitalba,  Linn.  Denizen.  English. 

Perhaps  indigenous  in  hedges  near  Whitby — Rev.  A.  Bloxam. 
Naturalised  on  the  green,  Richmond — James  Ward.  “ Really  wild,” 
in  a hedge  at  the  bottom  of  a wood  on  the  margin  of  Guisborough 
moor,  below  the  Warren,  three  quarters  of  a mile  S.S.E.  of  Guis- 
borough,  and  nearly  that  from  any  house — William  Mudd,  1854. 
This  species  might  perhaps  be  placed  in  the  native  category  without 
much  risk  of  error,  but  has  not  yet  been  ascertained  to  occur  in  the 
chalk  district  of  the  south-east  of  Yorkshire. 

THALICTKUM. 

2.  T.  alpinum,  Linn.  Native.  Highland. 

3.  T.  minus,  Linn.  Native.  Scottish. 

A glaucous  and  glandular  variety  of  this  species  (T.  pubescens, 
Schreb.)  is  plentiful  amongst  the  sand  hills  about  Coatham,  Redcar, 
and  Marske  (Vide  Phytologist,  vol.  iv.  page  933.)  Probably  it  is  the 
ordinary  littoral  form  of  the  species. 

3. *  T.  flexuosum,  Reich.  Native.  Scottish. 

Malham  Cove,  near  Settle! — J.  Dugdale.  Bolton  Woods,  Wharf- 
dale  ! — O.  Lord.  Mackershaw  Woods,  near  Ripon — T.  Simpson. 
Bank  of  the  Tees,  below  Holwick  and  Wince  Bridge,  plentiful. 
Banks  of  the  Wharf,  at  Thorparch.  Probably  T.  majus  of  the  Flora 
is  wholly,  or  in  greater  part,  identical  with  this  species. 

4.  T.  flavum,  Linn.  Native.  English.

RANUNCULUS. 

11.  R.  aquatilis,  Linn.  Native.  British. 

Of  the  three  forms  defined  in  the  third  edition  of  Babington’s 
Manual,  heterophyllus  is  common  in  pools  and  still  waters,  trichojohyl- 
lus  in  ditches  and  slowly  running  streams,  and  subjpeltatus  less  fre- 
quent in  similar  situations.  A maritime  variety  which  closely 
resembles  R.  confusus  of  Godron,  is  plentiful  in  the  ditches  in 
Coatham  marshes ; and  a much  branched  state  of  the  same  also 
occurs,  with  leaves,  flowers,  and  fruit,  only  about  one-third  the  usual 
size.  ( Vide  Phyt.  iii.  721  and  933.) 

11.*  B.  confusus,  Godr.  Incognit. 

The  series  of  forms  which  the  Coatham  salt  marshes  afford,  were  at 
first  referred  to  this  species  (Phyt  iii.  721  and  933) ; but  when  speci- 
mens were  submitted  by  Mr.  H.  C.  Watson  to  Professor  Grenier, 
Godron’s  coadjutor  in  the  preparation  of  the  “Flore  de  France,”  he 
considered  them  to  belong  to  R.  aquatilis. 

11.*  R.  circinatus,  Sibth.  Native.  English. 

Ponds  and  ditches,  apparently  rare ; Applegarth,  near  Richmond — 
James  Ward.  In  the  ditches  of  Potteric  Carr,  near  Doncaster — 
O.  A.  Moore,  Rev.  W.  W.  Newbould.  (Cyb.  Brit.  iii.  521.) 

11.*  R.  fluitans,  Lam.  Native.  English. 

Slow  streams  and  running  waters,  apparently  rare.  Skeeby  Beck, 
near  Richmond — J.  Ward.  Plentiful  in  the  Codbeck,  below  Dalton, 
near  Thirsk,  and  in  the  Swale,  below  Topcliffe  and  Leckby.

its  condition,  that  it  grows  in  considerable  abundance  amongst  the

* The  peculiar  difficulties  which  attend  the  study  of  the  fruticose  brambles  have  deterred  nearly  all 
resident  botanists  from  attempting  to  determine  the  forms  which  have  fallen  under  their  notice ; and  so 
many  alterations  in  nomenclature  have  been  rendered  needful  by  advancing  knowledge  within  the  last 
few  years,  that  it  would  he  unsafe  to  rely  with  confidence  upon  most  of  the  few  localities  which  have 
been  reported.  The  accompanying  list,  therefore,  is  scarcely  more  than  a resume  of  the  specimens  pre- 
served in  my  own  herbarium.  The  idea  of  comparitive  rarity  and  frequency  is  necessarily  formed  alone 
from  the  district  which  has  been  examined,  the  limits  and  extent  of  which  may  be  gathered  with  tolera- 
ble accuracy  from  a consideration  of  the  stations  quoted.  In  fixing  the  names,  I have  been  guided  less 
by  the  verbal  descriptions  of  authors  than  by  an  extensive  collection  of  dried  specimens,  mostly  authen- 
ticated or  furnished  by  those  botanists  who  have  studied  the  genus  most  successfully  in  this  country.

* In  this  genus,  I have  slightly  departed  from  the  classification  followed  in  the  London  Catalogue. 
The  species  which  Britain  produces  want  carefully  working  out  hy  watching  the  range  of  variation  of  the 
characters  of  each  in  its  natural  localities  and  under  cultivation.  The  “ Symbol  se  ad  Historiam  Hieraci- 
orum  ” of  Fries  has  given  a vivid  impulse  to  the  study  of  these  plants,  and  it  is  hoped  that  we  may  he 
enabled,  before  long,  to  have  the  nomenclature  of  the  British  representatives  of  the  genus  settled  upon 
a substantial  and  satisfactory  basis.  But  at  present,  whilst  undergoing  the  process  of  renovation,  they 
are  involved  in  a considerable  amount  of  confusion.  I have  published  specimens  of  most  of  the  York- 
shire forms  in  the  “ Hieracia  of  North  Yorkshire  and  Teesdale.”

closely  in  cultivation ; so  that  we  may  take  for  granted,  that  they 
are  all  one  and  the  same  species.  But  it  would  seem  doubtful, 
whether  the  Teesdale  cerinthoides  is  the  true  plant  of  Linnseus.  It

has  been  considered  to  belong  to  this  species  ( vide  Bab  Man.  iii. 
&c.)  but  when  specimens  were  sent  to  the  author  of  the  “ Symboloe  ” 
by  my  friend  J.  Backhouse,  Jun.,  he  referred  them,  perhaps  by 
some  oversight,  to  his  FI.  rigidum.  The  same,  or  something  simi- 
lar, occurs  at  Kirby  Hill,  near  Richmond — J.  Ward.

from  the  top  of  a flowering  stem  only,  this  is  the  plant  intended  by 
English  botanists  under  the  name  of  A.  serrata — one  cultivated  in

Possibly  this  species  might  be  referred  to  a higher  than  the  alien 
category.  In  the  woods  at  Storthes  Hall,  near  Huddersfield,  it  is 
stated  to  grow  “interspersed  with  Saxifraga  umbrosa  in  such  abun- 
dance as  to  preclude  the  possibility  of  its  being  an  escape  from 
garden  cultivation” — P.  Inchbald  (Phyt.  iii.  332).  But  on  the  pre- 
ceding page  it  is  expressly  stated,  that  the  Saxifraga,  though 
“covering  large  tracts,”  is  “naturalised”  only;  so  that  there  must 
be  a strong  probability  that  the  periwinkle  which  grows  intermixed 
with  it,  has  been  “naturalised”  also.

Near  Richmond — Jas.  Ward  (S.  B.  31,  32,  fide  Atiderssen). 

S.  Seringeana,  Gaud.  Incognit. 

To  this  species*  Dr.  Andersen  suggests  that  S.  B.  39,  collected 
near  Richmond — Jas.  Ward,  should  be.  referred.  It  merits  fur- 
ther investigation.

S.  hirta,  S.  B.  67,  from  Ravensworth,  near  Richmond — James 
Ward.  Near  Weathercote,  Bilsdale! — A.  Watson.  Damp  places, 
and  along  the  banks  of  the  stream  at  the  bottom  of  Flazendale, 
near  Rievaulx;  plentiful  (Andersoniana). 

1014.  S.  laurina,  Smith.  Native.  Scottish. 

S.  bicolor.  Flora,  92.  Near  Richmond — Jas.  Ward  (S.  B.  73). 
No.  43,  S.  B.,  is  a doubtful  form  from  the  same  vicinity,  referred 
by  Dr.  Anderssen  to  this  species. 


* I subjoin  a diagnosis  of  this  species,  translated  from  Koch’s  Synopsis: 

“ S.  Seringeana  (Gaud.  fl.  helv.  6.  p.  251).  Aments  sessile  arcuate  bracteated  at  the  base : capsules 
stalked  tomentose,  lanceolate  from  an  ovate  base:  pedicel  twice  the  length  of  the  gland:  style  elongate: 
stigmas  bifid:  leaves  lanceolate  oblong  acuminate  crenulate,  roughly  veined  and  covered  with  white 
tomentum  beneath : stipules  ovate  acute.  Banks  of  rivers  in  sub-alpine  vallies,”

1157.  J.  lamprocarpus,  Ehrh.  Native.  British. 

A procumbent  rush,  much  resembling  this  species,  but  smaller  in 
size,  with  all  the  segments  of  the  perianth  acute,  which  I col- 
lected in  1853  near  the  head  of  Bilsdale,  is  perhaps  J.  nigritellus,

1205.  C.  pulicaris,  Linn.  Native.  British. 

In  similar  situations ; frequent 

1206.  C.  paucielora,  Lightf.  Native.  Highland. 

The  localities  mentioned  under  this  species  in  the  Flora  rest 
upon  the  authority  of  Dalton.  With  reference  to  the  observations 
in  the  Cybele  Britaniea,  I may  remark  that  Lilia  cross  is  precisely 
1000  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea ; but  that  the  original  manu- 
script record  runs,  “ Banks  of  Derwent,  near  Lilia  cross,  &c.,”  so 
that  it  is  probable  that  the  Carex  descends  considerably  lower 
than  1000  feet. 

1209.  C.  stellulata,  Linn.  Native.  British. 

Damp  meadows  and  boggy  places  ; frequent: 

C.  brizoides,  Linn.  Incognit 

Studley  woods — W.  Mac  Ivor,  fide  G.  C.  Babington.  The  author 
of  the  Manual  mentions  that  he  has  received  a specimen  from 
this  locality.  I have,  however,  followed  the  Cybele  Britannica  in 
waiting  till  the  occurrence  of  the  species  in  Britain  is  confirmed, 
before  accepting  it  as  a clearly  established  inhabitant. 

1211  C.  ovalis,  Good.  Native.  British.

Damp  meadows  and  boggy  places  ; not  unfrequent. 

1218.  C.  arenaria,  Linn.  Native.  British. 

Plentiful  amongst  the  coast  sandhills  about  Redcar,  Marske, 
Coatham,  and  Saltburn. 


1210.  C.  divisa,  Huds.  Native?  English. 

It  is  desirable  that  the  occurrence  of  this  species  on  the  York- 
shire coast  should  receive  modern  confirmation.  A flowering 
specimen  from  “a  spongy  bog  on  the  edge  of  the  moor,  above  the 
village  of  Ramsgill,  in  Nithersdale,”  collected  in  1846! — -J'.  Simpson, 
is  probably  C.  schsenoides,  Host,  (C.  austriaca,  Schk:,)  now  ascer- 
tained to  be  a variety  of  this  species  This  merits  further  in- 
vestigation, and  it  would  also  be  interesting  to  ascertain  what 
Winch’s  station  really  produces.

species.  C.  Elirhartiana,  Hoppe , (C.  pseudo-paradoxa,  Gibson ,) 
probably  a variety  of  this  species  occurs  plentifully  by  the  side 
of  Malharn  Tarn,  near  Settle — S.  Gibson,  (Phjd.,  i.  779) ; and  per- 
haps also  near  Halnaby.  ( Vide  J.  Woods,  Comp.  Bot.  Mag.,  i.  290;

A specimen  from  Ingleborough  is  in  the  herbarium  of  the  Rev. 
J.  Dalton  in  York  Museum — 0.  A.  Moore.  It  is  desirable  that 
the  occurrence  of  this  species  should  receive  confirmation. 

1231.  C.  steicta,  Good.  Native.  English. 

Heslington  fields,  near  York — R.  Spruce.  Bogs  below  Cook’s

Scarborough.  Amongst  the  ditches  in  Askham  bogs. 

1232.  C.  acuta,  Linn.  Native.  British. 

Ditches,  river  banks,  and  boggy  places;  frequent.  A variety, 
with  the  perigone  bearing  anthers,  occurs  at  Bootham  [and  Clif- 
ton,-near  York — R.  Spruce',  and  I have  also  collected  a form,  with 
paniculate  spikes,  at  the  same  locality. 

C.  Mcenchiana,  Reich.  Incognit. 

“ In  1843,  I found  the  Carex  Mcenchiana  in  abundance  near  Heb- 
den  bridge.  The  plant  I sent  to  Dr,  Boott,  and  have  his  au- 
thority for  the  correctness  of  the  name  ” — S.  Gibson  in  litt.  (April 
23rd,  1847.)  The  author  of  the  Manual  informs  us  (Phyt.  v.  176) 
that  the  plant  afterwards  proved  to  be  only  a form  of  vulgaris.

ADDENDA. 


Whilst  tlie  work  has  been  passing  through  the  press,  various  ad- 
ditional items  of  information  have  come  to  hand.  In  order  that  it  may 
he  rendered  as  complete  as  possible,  I subjoin  in  this  place  a notice  of 
some  of  the  more  important. — J.  G.  B. 


80.  C amelina  sativa,  Crantz. 

Cornfields  at  Maltby,  near  Doncaster — Rev.  G.  E.  Smith.  Fallow 
fields  near  Roche  abbey — Rev.  G.  Finder. 

87.  Cardamine  impatiens,  Linn. 

Dowker  gill,  near  Sedbergh — Rev.  G.  Pinder. 

179.  Arenaria  tenuifolia,  Linn. 

The  Rev.  G.  E.  Smith  informs  me,  that  he  has  collected  this  spe- 
cies on  “ rocks  at  Maltby;  ” thus  confirming  the  accuracy  of  Salt’s 
report,  and  Air.  Moore’s  supposition  ( vide  pp.  51,  52). 

Erodium  cygnorum,  Nees. 

The  Rev.  G.  Pinder  has  obligingly  furnished  me  with  specimens 
of  a plant  identified  by  Babin gton  with  E.  cygnorum,  of  Nees  von 
Esenbeck,  collected  on  “ waste  ground  near  Guiseley,”  during  the 
present  summer  (1854).  It  is  a native  of  West  Australia,  and  he 
suggests  that  the  seeds  have  been  introduced  amongst  wool. 

262.  AIedicago  denticulata,  Willd. 

On  old  rubbish  heaps  near  Guiseley,  1853— Rev.  G.  Pinder. 

329.  Potentilla  verna,  Linn. 

Smeaton  crags,  near  Doncaster — P.  Inclibald.  Went  vale,  near 
Pontefract — W.  Robinson. 

357.  Alchemilla  alpina,  Linn. 

I am  informed  by  the  Rev.  G.  Pinder,  that  this  species  occurs 
also  in  Dent  dale,  but  not  so  plentifully  as  about  Cautley, 

372.  Epilorium  virgatum,  Fries. 

The  Gormire  plant  is  identified  by  Babington  with  that  described 
in  the  “ Manual  of  British  Botany,”  under  this  name.  During 
the  present  season,  I have  observed  it  on  the  edge  of  Guisborougli 
moor,  near  Highcliffe,  and  also  amongst  the  ballast  hills  at  Mid- 
dlesborougli. 


180 


340 — 3.  Rubus  suberectus,  Anders. 

In.  tlie  plantation  near  the  vicarage,  at  Cantley — Rev.  G.  E.  Smith. 
All.'''  Sedum  eupestre,  Smith . 

This  species  grows  upon  garden  walls  at  Rievaulx.  Perhaps  the 
reported  Guisborough  station  may  he  (or  have  been)  similar  in 
character. 

520,  Gallicm  pustllum,  Smith. 

During  the  present  season,  I have  collected  this  species  on  the 
rocky  hanks  of  the  Ure  at  Ays  garth  force,  in  Wensleydale. 
A Galium  which  grows  amongst  the  rocks  at  the  White  force, 
in  Teesdale,  is  probably  the  G.  commutatum  of  Jordan;  but 
whether  it  is  a form  of  this  species  or  G.  saxatile,  or  may  he  speci- 
fically distinct  from  both,  I cannot  at  present  undertake  to 
suggest. 

572,  Hieracium  caesium,  Fries. 

With  reference  to  specimens  from  the  Hambleton  hills,  of  the 
plant  given  under  this  name,  which  I submitted  to  his  considera- 
tion, M.  Jordan,  of  Lyons,  remarks — “II  est,  a moil  avis,  tres 
different  de  1’  H.  caesium,  Fries.” 

582.*  Hieracium  gothicum,  Fries. 

On  the  top  of  the  moor  above  Ingleby  Greenliow,  Cleveland ! — 
W.  JVLudd. 

580.  Hieracium  crocatum,  Fries. 

On  the  top  of  the  moor  above  Ingleby  Greenliow,  Cleveland,  with 
II.  gothicum  and  umbellatum  ! — TP.  Mudd. 

670.  Campanula  patula,  Linn. 

Between  Swinton  and  Doncaster — Rev.  G.  F.  Smith. 

707.  Pyrola  rotundifolia,  Linn. 

In  the  sixth  edition  of  Hooker  and  Arnott’s  “ British  Flora,”  I 
observe  that  “ Castle  Eden,  Dene,  Yorkshire”  is  given  as  a locality 
for  this  species.  My  herbarium  contains  an  example  which  may 
be  regarded  as  representing  the  variety  arenaria,  from  that 
locality,  which  is,  however,  not  in  Yorkshire,  but  near  Hartle- 
pool, in  Durham. 

745.  Verbascum  vtrgatum,  With.  Alien. 

Specimens  of  this  species,  from  three  Yorkshire  stations,  are  pre- 
served in  my  herbarium ; but  at  present  it  is  known  only  as  a 
casual  straggler  from  garden  cultivation. 

928.  Schoberia  fruticosa,  Meyer.  Alien  ? 

In  considerable  abundance  on  the  sea-bank  to  the  east  of  the 
docks  at  Middlesborougli,  1854! — T.  Simpson.  It  is  quite  proba- 
ble that  the  plant  may  be  a veritable  native  at  this  station ; but, 
as  it  is  so  near  the  docks,  I prefer  to  regard,  for  the  present,  this 
point  as  uncertain.  I have  myself  seen  tivo  or  three  bushes  of 
it,  during  the  present  season,  on  the  side  of  the  docks  nearest 
the  ballast  hills.

Alisma  natans,  Linn. 

Upwards  of  half  a century  after  its  original  publication,  the  Rev, 
G.  Pinder  has  confirmed  the  accuracy  of  Teesdale’s  suggestion, 
that  this  plant  grows  in  the  vicinity  of  the  mere  at  Hornsea. 
The  same  learned  botanist  believes  that  he  has  also  observed  it 
from  a train  “ in  ditches  by  the  railway  side,  between  York  and 
Sherburn.”

Sphagnum  laricinum,  Spruce. 

“ Sphagnum  laricinum  is  known  only  as  found  in  Terrington  earr, 
by  Mr.  Spruce.  I can  make  nothing  of  it,  except  as  an  anomalous 
form  of  S.  contortum,  and  have  accordingly  noticed  it  as  a variety 
of  that  species,  differing  in  no  essential  character,  unless  in  the 
cortical  cellules  of  the  stem,  which  are  not  in  a single  row  or 
stratum,  auin  all  normal  states  of  contortum.  As  for  the  reticu- 
lation of  the  leaf,  I have  aquatic  states  of  contortum  perfectly 
coincident” — W.  Wilson,  in  litt.  Nov.  1th,  1854.

Didymodon  aquaticus. 

“‘Didymodon  aquaticus,  Brid  V mentioned  in  Spruce’s  list,  has 
reference  to  a moSs  which  I found  near  Malham,  and  could  not 
then  identify.  Since  then,  I am  satisfied  that  Dillenius’  moss, 
referred  to  by  Bridel,  is  Racomitrium  protensum ; and  the  Mal- 
ham moss  I now  regard  as  a very  peculiar  barren  form  of  Tortula 
fallax,  having  the  leaves  much  recurved  and  squarrose.  It  may, 
however,  turn  out  to  be  a distinct  species,  whenever  fruit  shall 
be  obtained.  This  form  or  species,  I think,  will  be  found, rather 
frequent  in  limestone  districts,  on  banks” — W.  Wilson,  in  litt. 
Nov.  7th,  1854.  I have  lately  received  fine  specimens  of  the  same 
moss  from  Ingleborough,  (coll.  J.  Nowell,)  and  noticed  it  in  the 
vicinity  of  Thirsk.
