JTJHE second edition of the Flora of Dorset was issued 

 in 1895, an d consequently some ten years have 

 elapsed since its issue, and it seems a fitting time 

 to put on record such additional species and 

 varieties as have since been observed in the 

 county, and such localities of rarer plants as help 

 to fill a gap in one or other of the districts. The 

 seven districts into which the county was divided 

 by the late J. C. Mansel-Pleydell, Esq., for the 

 purposes of the Flora were lettered from A to G ; G, for 

 instance, denoting the Isle of Purbeck ; F, the Stour watershed 

 below Shillingstone ; E, that part of it in the county above 

 Shillingstone ; and so on. These letters I have introduced in 

 this paper for easy reference to and comparison with the Flora 

 of Dorset. The nomenclature is that of the London Catalogue, 

 Ed. IX. ; and, where it differs from that of the Flora, the 

 synonym used in the latter is added in a bracket.
