FLORA AND VEGETATION 
The Peak District has been well studied from the floristic 
standpoint, for each county represented, with the exception of 
the small portion which occurs in south Lancashire, has its 
published local flora. Those of west Yorkshire (Lees, 1888), 
Cheshire (de Tabley, 1899), and Derbyshire (Linton, 1903) may. 
be taken as representative, in various ways, of the best of the 
British county and local floras; and those by Painter (1889) 
and Bagnall (1901) provide useful lists of species. The flora 
by Crump and Crossland (1904), although it deals with an area 
a little to the north of this district, may be taken as illustrating 
the flora of the non-calcareous soils of the southern Pennines 
generally; and it shares, along with Wheldon and Wilson’s 
flora (1907), the honour of being one of the very few British 
floras which deal at some length with the occurrence and 
distribution of plant associations. 
Whilst, however, the flora of the Peak District has been 
dealt with by several authors, its vegetation has not been 
described. The distinction between flora and vegetation was
