List of Plants, growing within a two mile radius of Chester, 
found by Miss Cummings, Miss Payne, and Miss A. Payne, 
and which are not included in the late Mr. E. J. Baillie’s 
City Flora, 1875-77. 
Mr. Baillie remarks in the Preface of his Catalogue, that ‘several 
important and universally distributed genera, such as Rubus, Rosa, Pota- 
ape Salix, Chenopodiacee, Atriplex, and Rumex are not included in 
the list.” 
They have particularly observed the Potamogeton and Rumex genera, 
and have been able to verify nearly all the latter, but feel there are several of 
the former yet to be discovered. 
They have been pleased to be able to add considerably to the numbers of 
Menthas on his list; and to find that several Plants mentioned in the late 
Lord de Tabley’s book are still existing in the localities where he found them, 
The total number of Plants recorded by Miss Cummings, Miss Payne, 
and Miss A. Payne is 352 ; 98 of these are not given in Mr, Baillie’s list, and 
~ are not indigenous. They omit all the Funcacee, Cyperacee, Gramineae, 
and Cryptogams, which they hope to undertake at a future time, 
The radius taken was two miles from the Cross, as the City Boundary is 
a very arbitrary arrangement, and so much land within it has been built over 
since 1877. :
