BOTANY 



Foord-Kelcey of Quorn, for lists of plants, for the loan of her copy of Mr. Preston's MS. and 

 published lists of Leicestershire flowering plants, and for help in many other ways; to Mr. J. A. 

 Wheldon for determining several mosses, to Mr. H. N. Dixon for the number of Northampton- 

 shire plants, to Prof. Carr for latest additions to Nottinghamshire, and the Rev. H. P. Reader of the 

 Holy Cross Priory, Leicester, for a complete list of the mosses and hepatics, with some useful notes. 

 Father Reader's experience of Leicestershire, combined with much knowledge of plants in other 

 parts of England, has enabled the writer to give a representative list of mosses and hepatics. 



In the following summary of the vascular plants of Leicestershire species to which no sign 

 is attached are to be regarded as ' wild ' in the sense of being natives, colonists, or denizens. 



Aliens and plants of recent introduction which maintain their ground more or less successfully 

 are indicated by an asterisk. 



Species of merely casual occurrence recorded down to 1886, or which were probably recorded 

 in error, or have long been extinct, are inclosed within square brackets. The sequence of the 

 London Catalogue (ed. 9) is followed as far as possible, the brambles (Rubi) in accordance with 

 Mr. Rogers' Handbook, the Gymnosperms follow the Monocotyledons, and the Characeae follow the 

 mosses. 



Localities are given for all new county records, both of vascular and cellular plants. 



The following abbreviations have been adopted : W. M. R. = W. Moyle Rogers ; E. F. L. = 

 E. F. Linton ; Journ. Bat. = Journal of Botany ; B. R. = Babington's British Rubi ; Fl. L. = Flora 

 of Leicestershire, 1886.
