The following list contains the names of Plants mentioned by the late 
Mr. E. J. Baillie in his City Flora, as having been found by himself, or by 
Members of the Botanical Section of the Natural Science Society during 
1875-77, and which have not been verified as still existing in the places he 
mentions by Miss Cummings, Miss Payne, and Miss A. Payne. 
They think that the disappearance of many of these Plants from the 
localities they formerly inhabited, is due, in most instances, to building on the 
spots, to cultivation of the land, and alterations in the roads. 
Some may still be found, as the list made last year was far from 
complete, and they hope to add to it very considerably. 
The number of Plants mentioned in Mr. Baillie’s list is 311, including 
4 not indigenous, and excluding all the Funcacew, Cyperacea, Gramineae, and 
Cryptogams. The 57 plants enumerated below have ot been found by Miss 
Cummings, Miss Payne, and Miss A. Payne. He took the City Boundary as 
his radius, which is nominally one mile and a half from the Cross.
