74 THE FLORA OF STAFFORDSHIRE. 



most useful work ; he has pubUshecl in the reports of the North 

 Staffordshire Natural History Society papers on the botany of 

 Biddulph and other Staffordshire localities, in which the following 

 are new records : — Rubus leucostachys, B. hirtifolius, R. pyramidalis, 

 R. criniger, Rosa sphcerica, Cuscuta Trifolii, Salix serica7is, Chara 

 frcKjilis. Other valuable work has been done by the Kev. W. H. 

 PuRCHAs, who would fittingly have undertaken the present Flora ; 

 the Rev. H. P. Reader ; by many of the members of the North 

 Staffordshn-e Natural History Society, which will be found re- 

 corded in due sequence. My own time has been more especially 

 given to the Rubi and Roscb of the county ; but much has still 

 to be done among these plants.
