⁂ "July 22 [1801] I found Medicago Lupulina at Croft yoke [Mickleton], it is very like Trefolium procumbens but the latter has a round stem the former a square one." Includes collections of plants and where found, and a list of lichens, medical and other recipes, baptisms etc. The compiler lived in the Mickleton, Egglestone, Barnard Castle region and may perhaps be identified with further work as Rev. John Harriman (1760-1831), botanist; curate of Egglestone; "... a fellow of the Linnean Society on 18 December 1798, and his original work on lichens rivals that of Smith and Dawson Turner (1775-1858)... Harriman discovered many of the 'Teesdale rarities', including Gentiana verna L., new to Britain." - Oxford DNB.
