Ranunculus circinatus. Plentiful about Frodsham. 



Ranunculus ophioglossifolius. I am in uncertainty about this 

 plant. A botanist to whom I sent a specimen said the achenia 

 resembled those of R. Flanimula, but I think it is quite distinct 

 from that, the flowers being white and corymbiferous, and the 

 plant more stunted. 



Berber is vulgaris is rather common at Kingsley, there being 

 several large hedges of it. 



Nympli(£a alba. Pond, Morley. 



Cochlearia officinalis. Rather scarce ; by the river Weaver. 



Viola odorata. The blue and white varieties of this plant are 

 common in several places in the neighbourhood. 



Malva moschata. The purple variety of this plant was found 

 on the Ry Bank, at Sutton, last summer, but perhaps an escape 

 from a garden. 



Rhaynmis catharticus. Kingsley and Morley, but not common. 



Melilotus officinalis. Weaver Valley ; abundant.
