The area close to Scratchwood is acid grassland which has uncommon species such as dyer's greenweed and heath speedwell.

Hairy Greenweed (Genista pilosa)

Dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria)

Its other common names include dyer's greenweed, dyer's whin, waxen woad and waxen wood.

Woolen cloth mordanted with alum and dyed yellow with dyer's greenweed was overdyed with woad and, later, indigo, to produce the once-famous Kendal green.

Herbs include Oxeye Daisy, Devil's-bit Scabious, Yellow Rattle and Dyer's Greenweed.

Two rare species, Bristle Bent (Agrostis curtisii) and Hairy Greenweed (Genista pilosa), are associated with the community.

Other prominent plants are herbs, including many species with a local distribution among them; Saw-wort (Serratula tinctoria) and dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria).

Herbs include Dyer's Greenweed, Saw-wort, Adder's-tongue, Common Knapweed, Betony and Pepper Saxifrage.

Dyer's Greenweed, for instance, has been used since Saxon times to colour wool; it's the colour of Robin Hood's jerkin and the tunics worn at Agincourt.

The unimproved limestone grassland supports varied and colourful plants such as Dyer's Greenweed, Devil's-bit Scabious, Common spotted orchid and Fleabane.

The Chinese had dyeing down to a fine art as much as 5,000 years ago, and there are herbs grown today whose names record their colouring ability, such as dyer's-greenweed and dyer's-bugloss.

Cowslip, Dyer's greenweed, Common spotted orchids and bird's-foot trefoil are amongst the flowers to be found, and numerous butterflies include Meadow Brown, Marbled White and Large Skipper.

Genista pilosa, commonly known as hairy greenweed, Vancouver Gold and Creeping Broom Gold Flash Broom is a plant species in the genus Genista.

Genista tinctoria (dyer's broom, also known as dyer's greenweed or dyer's greenwood), provides a useful yellow dye and was grown commercially for this purpose in parts of Britain into the early 19th century.

Along the cliff top, there can be found Dyer's greenweed - Genista tinctoria, western gorse - Ulex gallii, heather - Calluna vulgaris and bracken - Pteridium aquilinum.

Less frequent species are Ladys-mantle Alchemilla vulgaris, Dyers Greenweed Genista tinctoria, Corky-fruited Water-dropwort Oenanthe pimpinelloides, Adders-tongue Ophioglossum vulgatum.

In late summer Pyramidal Orchid, Autumn Gentian, Clustered Bellflower, Carline Thistle, Betony, Yellow-wort, Margoram, Zigzag Clover, Small Scabious and Dyer's Greenweed flower.

The soil types on which it stands are complex and support a wide range of plants, including the chalk loving yellow-wort and dwarf thistle, dyer's greenweed, a feature of neutral soils and gorse which is associated with more acid soils.

Woollen cloth, mordanted with alum, was dyed yellow with dyer's greenweed, then dipped into a vat of blue dye (woad or, later, indigo) to produce the once-famous "Kendal Green" (largely superseded by the brighter "Saxon Green" in the 1770s).

But as the type species of Hübner's genus is the Greenweed Flat-body Moth - originally described as Tinea atomella, but nowadays called Agonopterix atomella -, Tichonia is actually a junior synonym of Agonopterix.

The dyers of Lincoln, a great cloth town in the high Middle Ages, produced the Lincoln green cloth associated with Robin Hood by dyeing wool with woad and then overdyeing it yellow with weld or dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria), also known as dyer's broom.

Yellow was obtained from the flowers of the woadwaxen, and gold from onion skins.

It was also the only place in Halland north of the river Ätran wheren Silky leaf woadwaxen could be found.

The larvae feed on Genista tinctoria.

Genista tinctoria (I)

Dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria)

Genistein was first isolated in 1899 from the dyer's broom, Genista tinctoria; hence, the chemical name derived from the generic name.

Genista tinctoria (dyer's broom) is a species of flowering plant of the family Fabaceae, native to meadows and pastures in Europe and Turkey.

The larvae are polyphagous, feeding on a variety of herbaceous plants, including Genista tinctoria, Hieracium, Lotus and Plantago.

Other prominent plants are herbs, including many species with a local distribution among them; Saw-wort (Serratula tinctoria) and dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria).

Genista tinctoria (dyer's broom, also known as dyer's greenweed or dyer's greenwood), provides a useful yellow dye and was grown commercially for this purpose in parts of Britain into the early 19th century.

Along the cliff top, there can be found Dyer's greenweed - Genista tinctoria, western gorse - Ulex gallii, heather - Calluna vulgaris and bracken - Pteridium aquilinum.

The larvae feed on Cytisus scoparius, Lembotropis nigricans, Genista scorpius, Genista tinctoria, Spartium junceum and Ulex europaeus.

Genista tinctoria (yellow) overdyed with woad (blue) produced the colour to which Shakespeare's Falstaff referred in Henry IV : 'Three misbegotten knaves in Kendal Green', Falstaff being one.

The larvae feed on Genista tinctoria, Genista ratisbonensis, Cytisus hirsutus, Colutea arborescens, Chamaecytisus, Astragalus glycyphyllos and Corothamus procumbens.

Less frequent species are Ladys-mantle Alchemilla vulgaris, Dyers Greenweed Genista tinctoria, Corky-fruited Water-dropwort Oenanthe pimpinelloides, Adders-tongue Ophioglossum vulgatum.

The larvae feed on various Fabaceae species, including Cytisus scoparius, Genista (mainly Genista tinctoria, Dorycnium, Scabiosa, Rumex, Polygonum, Thymus and Asperula.

The larvae feed on Astragalus, Chamaecytisus supinus, Genista tinctoria, Laburnocytisus adamii, Laburnum alpinum, Laburnum anagyroides, Lupinus polyphyllus and Petteria ramentacea.

The larvae feed on Cytisus scoparius, Cytisus purgans, Genista species (records include Genista tinctoria, Genista pilosa, Genista germanica and Genista sagittalis).

The largest species of broom is Mount Etna broom (Genista aetnensis), which can make a small tree to 10 m tall; by contrast, some other species, e.g. dyer's broom Genista tinctoria, are low sub-shrubs, barely woody at all.

The larvae feed on Chamaecytisus hirsutus, Cytisus scoparius, Cytisus sessilifolius, Genista germanica, Genista sericea, Genista tinctoria, Laburnum anagyroides, Lembotropis nigricans, Lupinus and Petteria ramentacea.

The dyers of Lincoln, a cloth town in the high Middle Ages, produced the cloth by dyeing it with woad (Isatis tinctoria) to give it a strong blue, then overdyeing it yellow with weld (Reseda luteola) or dyers' broom, Genista tinctoria.

Common names include dyer's rocket, dyer's weed, weld, woold, and yellow weed.

Limited evidence suggests the use of weld (Reseda luteola), also called mignonette or dyer's rocket before the Iron Age, but it was an important dye of the ancient Mediterranean and Europe and is indigenous to England.

Common names include dyer's rocket, dyer's weed, weld, woold, and yellow weed.

She started by asking who knew what a weld was.

Just a few more critical welds and they'd be done.

Now, just a few more welds and she would be ready to test her results.

On the finished car, the weld lines cannot be seen or felt.

White, Weld asked us if we wanted to take a third of the deal to their two-thirds.

A little less than a year after taking office, Weld's government resigned.

"Another hour and we'll have finished the last spot weld."

On January 8, the problem with the weld was corrected.

Manufacturers also include the strength that the weld must be.

"We have only five years before it will be too late to make the weld.

Warren Weld, the other name on the door, spoke up.

Sound welds are readily made (with good process design and control).

Tuesday Weld was at one stage mentioned as a possible female lead.

We've seen Weld come up empty in the effort to get our public schools going again after years of budget cuts.

Still, even Weld acknowledges that he's trying to pull off a long shot.

"Miss Weld will not be in until late this evening.

For this reason, Weld was under tremendous pressure to drop out of the race.

The process is limited to straight welds in horizontal position.

"I don't know what Weld's tax cuts are going to do to prepare our children for the future."

That weld always turns out to be the strongest part of the block.

Just two years ago, Weld was very much in.

She is the mother of five children by Weld.

The corresponding weld can still be seen near the signal box building.

Mr. Weld was also told exactly what he would say.

The home of Woold, an English slave trader, is located in southern Togo.

Litil basturd woold be roseted meet by now if I hadnae found the way up heer.

Before the city was liberated, there was a tank battle on 29 March in one of the townships called Woold, with sixty Sherman tanks.

March 31 is marked as the official day to remember the liberation of Winterswijk, despite of the fact that, in the late afternoon of March 30 parts of Miste and Woold were already liberated.

I squinted out the window at the yellow weeds.

They lay together in the crackling yellow weeds, clinging.

There was yellow weed on the line but the old man knew that only made an added drag and he was pleased.

There was a patch of winter-thin, pale yellow weeds between the industrial park and the water.

He got his feet up under him, and knew that Richard's back was probably visible above the yellow weeds and tall grass.

The paving was cracked and grimy, I noticed, with tufts of yellow weeds growing through.

Swathes of his coat came roiling upward with the disturbed water, brushing the surface like yellow weed.

He flew around Thomas Hudson¡ s head while he steered, then headed off toward another patch of yellow weed on the water.

More surprisingly, they also waded into the lake, and began to take mouthfuls of the yellow weed, which hung down from their faces like beards.

When he reached the border of high yellow weeds alongside the edge of the road, he inched forward on his belly and looked out.

Before I'd come to a full stop, Darla Jean scrambled out of the car and fell to her knees in the yellowed weeds.

There was a wino lying up in there among the yellow weeds and empty cans and dusty old bottles.

And though I was there in November, roses were everywhere, like pink and yellow weeds, climbing church walls, spilling into cafes.

Common names include dyer's rocket, dyer's weed, weld, woold, and yellow weed.

The sister was being pulled down by the yellow weeds; creepers and thorns clutching tight on her body, dragging her down to the world beneath the soil.

Reseda luteola, also known as dyers weed, yellow weed or weld, has been used as a yellow dye from neolithic times.

They started off through a field of rough yellow weeds to the hog pen, a five-foot boarded square full of shoats, which they intended to ease him over into.

These bare places were grown up with dingy, yellow weeds, hiding innumerable tomato cans; innumerable children played upon them, chasing one another here and there, screaming and fighting.

Her eyes flashed yellow, just the once, and then the ground was opening up beneath her feet, and weeds were pulling at her, yellow weeds, spiked with thorns.

Twisted yellow weeds sprouted on the banks and curious, small creatures scuttled for safety when the second probe popped and murmured and thrust forth a jerking, ratcheting scoop.

He got to the end of the block and found himself looking across the town's other main street at a dying lawn filled with yellow weeds from which peeked fiberglass statues of Disney-like fawns.

The spray of the water drenched that way, feeding small pools in the uneven surface, and strips of yellow weed trailed in slimy ribbons back below the surface of the waves.

By now, they were traveling by the side of a lake whose surface was almost entirely covered by a bright yellow weed, while on its far side was a vertical cliff, perhaps a thousand feet high.

Last time I saw my sister, close up, intimate, in the Vurt world, she was falling through a hole in a garden, clutched at by yellow weeds, cut by thorns, screaming my name out loud.

In another month or two, crops of scorched yellow weeds would blanket the hillside, but that year the spring showers had lasted longer than usual, nudging their way into early summer, and the grass was still green, peppered with tangles of wildflowers.

Reseda luteola (I)

Its roots have been used to make a yellow dye called "weld" since the first millennium BC, although the related plant Reseda luteola was more widely used for that purpose.

Limited evidence suggests the use of weld (Reseda luteola), also called mignonette or dyer's rocket before the Iron Age, but it was an important dye of the ancient Mediterranean and Europe and is indigenous to England.
