^i]<jui)odinm Pudaf/raria, L. — An escape. Not seen since 1878. 



Caruni Cand, L. — One specimen found in the next field to the

 Kersal Moor Hotel.

Heracleiuti !Sp]iondtjliuw, L. — Abundant. I have once found 

 also the var. /3. angustifoliuni, within a stone's-throw of the Moor, 

 but not noticed it for four years. 



Cimrophyllum Anthriscus, Lam. — Very common. 



Scandix Pecten- Veneris, L. — Bare in the cultivated portion of the 

 Moor.

Galium saxatile, L. — Abundant on the Moor, and more 

 luxuriant than usual. 



G. Aparine, L. 



G. jmlustre, L. 



Valeriana diuica, L. — It is interesting to find this plant still 

 holding its own in the most boggy portion of the Moor, by 

 Singleton Brook.

0. palustris L. — Very abundant. Varying with white flowers 

 occasionally.

Achillea Millefolium, L. — A fine variety with crimson flowers, 

 and more luxuriant growth, which preserves its characteristics in 

 cultivation, is not infr-equent in the peaty meadows which have 

 been reclaimed from the Moor, growing with the usual form. 



. / . Ptarniica, L. — Common. In the neighbourhood of Manchester 

 this plant is almost, if not quite, the last to be eradicated. It is 

 to be found in the most densely populated quarters, wherever a bit 

 of waste ground exists, iDrovided the ground be of a peaty or moory 

 character. And towards the smokiest and most undesirable 

 portion of the city, viz., towards the north-east, the ground is 

 mainly of that character, as it is round the whole of Oldham.
