a. acris, L. 



/t. repent, L. 



Pi. bulbosu.s, L. 



R. Fie aria, L. 



Caltha paliLstris, L. 



(-'ori/dalis daviciilata, DC. — Has occurred in 1879, close by the 

 Moor ; perhaps a casual. 



Canlamine pratensis, L. 



C. hirauta, L. 



[I have not noticed C. auiara, L., within the prescribed limits 

 of this paper, but it is common not half- a mile farther away.] 



Nasturtium ojficinaJe, Br. — Bogs. 



X. palustre, JDC. 



Armoracia rusticaua, Eupp. — An escape. 



Capsella Bursa-Pastoris, L. 



Barlxirea intermedia, Bor. — In cultivated ground. This seems 

 the prevailing form in the Prestwich district, but it is nowhere 

 very common. 



Viola palustris, L.^Not uncommon on the Moor, but not always 

 flowering. 



V. tricolor, L., and var. /3. arcemis. — In cultivated ground, 

 variable in then- appearance. 



[Droaera rotundifoUa, L., mentioned in Buxton's 'Guide' as 

 occurring here, has not been found for many years. I hear it is 

 irreaocably extinct.] 



Lijchnis diurna, Sibth. — Common. 



L. Flos-cuculi, L. — Boggy parts of the Moor ; frequent. 



Cerastium triviale, Link. 



(J. semidecandrum , L. — Is recorded as growing here, but we have 

 not personally observed it. 



Stellaria media, With. 



S. Holostea, L. 



S. (jraminea, L. 



■S'. uii/iinosa, Murr. — By Singleton Brook. 



Arenaria trinercia, L. — A characteristic plant of the neigh- 

 bourhood. 



A. serpijllifolia, L., /3. leptoclados, Bab. — Casual. 



Saijina procumbens, L. 



S. apetala, L. — Old walls and paths. 



Sper(/ula arreiisi.s, L. — Abundant. The prevailing weed in cul- 

 tivated ground. 



Spert/ularia rubra, Fenzl. — In sandy ground by the old race- 

 course. 



[Though just outside the limits, the discovery we made last 

 year (1881) of 1>iantlius deltoides, L., at the Prestwich Hills, not 

 more than half-a-mile from the Moor, seems worth recording here. 

 There was only one patch of the plant, and it would seem not to 

 have been planted there.] 



Montiafojitana, L. — Abundant by springs on the Moor, towards 

 Singleton Brook. 



Hj/jterinini hnmihisum, L. — Occurred sparingly in 1879, but has 

 not since then been observed.
