THE FLORA OF FRODSHAM. 

 By James F. Robinson. 



Frodsham is a small town in Cheshire^ situate midway between 

 Chester and Warrington. On the south it is bounded by a long- 

 range of hills^ from the top of which there is a most beautiful 

 prospect. Birkenhead and Liverpool may be seen very distinctly 

 on a clear day. On the north it is bounded by marshy ground^ 

 extending down to the river Weaver, thus making the botanizing 

 ground of a mixed character, hilly and marshy plants being 

 found in abundance. It is easily accessible from Manchester and 

 Liverpool, from either of which towns may be arranged a good 

 day^s botanical excursion. The following list is arranged accord- 

 ing to the Natural method, and all the most common plants are 

 left out.
