NOTES ON THE FLORA OF NORTHERN CHESHIRE. 

 By R. S. Adamson. 



The following notes are the result of more or less casual observa- 

 tions on the Cheshire flora made in the course of excursions from 

 ]\lanchester during the past three years. It is now 20 years since 

 Lord de Tabley's Flora of Cheshire was published (1899), and 

 since that time only few notices have appeared on the plants of the 

 county. These {e.g., Druce, J. Bot. xlv. 1907, p. 354, and xliv. 1906, 

 p. 426, and Drabble, J. Bot. xlviii. 1910, p. 152, and xlv. 1907, p. 103) 

 refer to the Southern and Coastal Districts, while the present observa- 

 tions are almost confined to the N.E. part of the county. New 

 records are distinguished by an asterisk (*). The numbers refer to 

 the divisions of the county as given in the Flora. Where a new 

 divisional record is made the number is preceded by an asterisk. Plants 

 which liave no claim to be considered native are enclosed in square 

 brackets [ ].
