A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



W. Mason for a MS. list of flowering plants from all the three vice-counties. 

 To Mr. C. Crossland for much help with fungi, and to Mr. J. A. Martindale 

 for help with lichens. 



N.B. The writer wishes it to be clearly understood that the com- 

 monest of British flowering plants and mosses, including hepatics, are not 

 enumerated. This was unavoidable. 



EXPLANATION OF SIGNS 



t signifies possibly introduced, * probably or cer- 

 tainly introduced in the county, and -f- more than 

 three stations known, ' r. r.' is an abreviation for ' very 

 rare.' 



A full stop after a locality signifies that the writer 

 has gathered the plant there. Otherwise the name 

 of finder is given.
