LEICESTERSHIRE PLANTS (1905-1910). 

 By a. R. Horwood. 



Some six years have elapsed ■■'• since any additional notes upon 

 the distribution of flowering plants in Leicestershire have ap- 

 peared ; and as the Elora of 1886 is now very out-of-date, and 

 during this interval much of interest has accumulated, I publish 

 these records as a further contribution to the county flora. The 

 results here set forth are the joint work of several botanists and 

 others whose names appear below ; but especial mention should 

 be made of the share taken by the Rev. H. P. Reader in this recent 

 work. He has been the constant companion (as well as botanical 

 guide) of the writer on excursions made with the object of survey- 

 ing the county anew botanically, and the following notes are, 

 except where the initials of other workers are cited, our joint 

 work. An asterisk denotes a new record ; a dagger stands for 

 plants of alien origin. 



In one or two works that have been overlooked in compiling 

 the Flora, some records of interest occur that we have incorporated 

 with the recent notes. In one of these by the Rev. Irwin Eller,f 

 the author states that a number of plants were " planted " in the 

 Belvoir district, e. g. Acorns Calamus, Muston ; Silene nutans, 

 Stathern; Aster Tripolium,NQ\e of Belvoir; Inula Pulicaria, Mus- 

 ton ; Lepidium latifolium, Muston ; Thlaspi arvense, Stathern ; 

 Geranium lucidum, Stathern ; Leonurus Cardiaca, Stathern ; 

 Trifolium subterraneum, Muston ; Medicago maculata, Muston ; 

 Myrrhis Odorata, Belvoir. Some of these are found, it is true, as 

 casuals. Others are not native, and we should be quite at a loss 

 to account for their occurrence in these stations had no such state- 

 ment been published. As the book is rare we have cited the cases 

 alluded to here, so that others may be on their guard.
