 pap !■. • ■ i 1 1 1 1 id, " Remarkable Plants Pound Growing in the Vicinity 



Birmingham in the year L836." This is a record from the neigh- 

 bouring countieB, Worcester and Stafford, as well as from Warwick-

 '*Th( was commenced. In the earlier volumes several 



contributions will be found, bearing upon the botany of Warwickshire.

 m Sutton Park, by George Luxford. A much more extensive list 

 per published in July. 1842, pp. 261-2, entitled "A List 

 of the Rare Plants observed m the neighbourhood of Birmingham," and 

 signed Samuel Freeman, Sun Street, Birmingham. I was not aware

Flora of Sutton Park." or 1 should have given to this botanist the credit
