270 THE FLORA OF BURTON AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. 
To the iist of observers must be added the name of the 
Rev. W. R. Linton, M.A., to whom we are indebted for 
notes from the North Western portion of our area. 
For the list of Rubi Mr. T. Gibbs is entirely responsible. 
The basis of the list is the fine set collected by the late 
Rev. W. H. Coleman, in the neighbourhood of Ashby, about 
1847-1849, and now in Dr. Mason’s herbarium. These are 
all marked in the list “P.B.M.” The few other local 
specimens in Dr. Mason’s herbarium are distinguished by 
the name of the collector, in brackets thus, ‘(Bloxam) 
P.B.M.” The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, F.L.S., has kindly 
looked through this collection, and, as far as possible, brought 
the nomenclature up to the present standard of knowledge. 
Mr. Gibbs is also indebted to the same gentleman for like 
assistance with his own collection. In dealing with two 
other sources of information, viz: the late Mr. Edwin Brown’s 
Flora (E.B.). and the.“ Flora of . Leicestershire” (F.E.); 
considerable difficulty has been encountered in identifying 
the plants intended by the writers; where there is no doubt 
as to the species meant, although a different name is used 
than that adopted in this list, the former is given in brackts; 
where there is some doubt as to the species meant, the 
record is given in italics.
