THE FLORA OF HAMPSTEAD 



By henry T. WHARTON, M.A., M.R.C.S., F.Z.S., &c. ' 



In this list of the plants known to occur in the district, the 

 authorities for the names are omitted, since the order and nomen- 

 clature of " The London Catalogue of British Plants " (8th ed., 

 1886) are followed throughout. Varieties are not noted, as they 

 have never been sufficiently worked out. Hence one plant. 

 Ranunculus aquatilis, stands under its old name. Trimen and 

 Dyer's ** Flora of Middlesex" (1869) has been freely used. 

 Doubtful plants are passed over. Collectors extirpate rarities, 

 but Maiantkemtim grows abundantly in a certain part of Caen 

 Wood. There is still much left for conscientious investigators to 

 add. Out of the 1,760 Phanerogams enumerated in " The London 

 Catalogue," only 455 species appear in this list.
