Papaver soiiinifcniui, Linn. Alien. 



58. Acton Grange, a few plants here and there during 

 1905-6-7 on the railway embankment. 



Papaver Rluvas, Linn. Colonist in cornfields ; denizen 

 on waste ground ; becoming very plentiful in some 

 stations. 



Papaver diibitiin, Linn. Alien on waste ground. 



Papaver Argeniouc, Linn. Alien on waste ground. 



58. A local species ; it has increased very rapidly on 

 the railway embankment at Acton Grange during 1905, 

 1906, and 1907. 



Note. — Papaver Argemofte, and F. diibium are recorded 

 by Mr. George Crosfield, Secretary of the Warrington 

 Botanical Society, in a Flora published in the year 1801, 

 as occurring in Warrington, but no station is given, and 

 their status is not expressed. 



Lord De Tabley, in his " Flora of Cheshire," ranks all 

 the three " red " poppies as aliens, but the " Flora of 

 Liverpool " (Greene), describes them as true natives of the 

 area with which it deals. There is no evidence of a 

 natural habitat for any of them in the Warrington district; 

 and I feel doubtful about the Liverpool status. 



Clielidoniuui majus, Linn. Denizen, near old cottages ; 

 about old stone walls and farm buildings, 



* Corydalis hulbosa, DC. Denizen. 



59. A garden relic surviving near Orford Hall.

 stone cutting in the road below Overton Church. (C.R.B.).
