Fleetwood Docks, and with it \-''Vicia villosa Both and an abundance 

 of j'^'Melilotus indica AIL, Wh. 



Rubiis Jissns Lindl. By a ditch-side near Abbeystead, Wyres- 

 dale, and near Bailey Hey, on the north side of Beacon Fell, Wi. — 

 -'R. pHcatiis Weihe. Abundant on Cockerham Moss, June, 1900. — 

 Pi. erijthrinus Genev. North bank of the river Wyre near Preesall, 

 Wh. Hedges by the roadside. Lower Grizedale, near Garstang. — 

 jR. nemoralis var. silumm Ley. By the roadside across Lancaster 

 Moor, Aug. 1900, Wh. — U. Scheutzii Lindeb. Emmets, Over 

 Wyresdale, Sept. 1900. — R. rusticanus Merc. A fine form of this 

 is not uncommon in West Lancashire, distinguished by its white 

 flowers, broad-based somewhat pyramidal panicle, and flat leaves. 

 Mr. Eogers says of it : "A very marked form which I have oc- 

 casionally met with, but have no separate name for." — *i?. Drejei'i 

 G. Jensen. Koadside near the reservoir, Longridge, 24 July, 

 1900, Wh. Mr. Rogers writes: "You may put this to R. Drejeri 

 without hesitation, as a form going off type towards my var. 

 Leyamis, but still under the type." — "jR. cinewsus Rogers. In one 

 or two places near Preesall and Knott End, Aug. 1900, Wh. — 

 R. infestus Weihe. Caton Moor, Sept. 1900. This never occurs 

 in quantity with us. In all our recorded stations, both in West 

 and South Lancashire, only single bushes were found. 



PotentiUa procwnhens Sibth. Lancaster Moor and near Quern- 

 more Park, Wh. 



'-^'Agrimonia odorata Mill. Lane near Melling, Aug. 1900, Wi. 

 Rosa canina L. var. dumalis (Bchst.). Emmetts, Over Wyres- 

 dale, Sept. 1900. — Var. urbica (Leman). Bank of the Wyre, Pree- 

 sall, Aug. 1900, Wh. " On the whole, perhaps nearest to this 

 variety, but differing from it in the glandular petioles and bracts." 

 W. M. Rogers. — "^'R. glauca Vill. Emmetts, Over Wyresdale, 

 Sept. 1900. — R. arvensis Huds. A handsome form of this, occurring 

 about Longridge and Grimsargh with the ordinary form, is stated 

 by Mr. Rogers to be " a glandular form (or hybrid?) approaching 

 Baker's var. gcdlicoides:' — R. mollis Sm. This is very frequent and 

 variable in the hilly districts of West Lancashire. 



CratcBgus oxyacmithoides Thuill. Ascends to 1100 ft. on Mal- 

 low dale Fell, where its large oval fruits tipped with the multiple 

 styles are quite ripe, when those of var. juonogynia (Jacq.) at 

 a similar elevation are still hard and just commencing to change 

 colour. 



Peplis Portida L. Muddy pool near Overton, in the Heysham 

 peninsula, Wi. As the plant has long been lost at the Ribbleton 

 Moor station, it is pleasing to be able to restore this to our list of 

 existing species. 



\'^Carum Carvi L. Alien in Outermoss Lane, Morecambe, F. A. 

 Lees (NaUiralist, Aug. 1900, p. 246). 



■''Silaus flavescens Bernh. Frequent in pastures about Cantsfield, 

 July, 1900, Wi. 



'''Caucalis nodosa Scop. Near Berwick and Carnforth, June, 

 1900, WL 



jSenecio saracenicus L. Banks of the Lune near Melling, Wi.
