ADDITIONS TO 
THE NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE FLORA. 
* ? 
Dewsbury; Hon Secretary, Botanical Section, Vorkshire Naturalists’ Union. 
SEVERAL times during the past six or seven years, at varying seasons, 
I have enjoyed a day’s botanizing on the sandhills and marshy places 
of the coast-line north and south of Skegness, and am glad to be able 
to make a few additions to the list enumerated by Mr. J. Burtt Davy 
in connection with an excursion of Lincolnshire naturalists at Gibraltar 
Point, pp. 49 to 54 of ‘The Naturalist’ for February of the current 
year. Keeping pace, I suppose, with the advancing intelligence and 
of the town, on which I have seen a forest of Hippophaé rhamnoides L. 
ablaze with ripe fruit, and the plants of Senecio jacobea L. smothered 
with the larve of the Cinnabar Moth (Zuchelia jacobee) has now 
stretching over it the ugly limbs of a switchback railway! The 
following species have been verified by Mr. Arthur Bennett, of 
Croydon, and I give them, hoping that a county ‘ flora’ may one day 
be compiled. 
Trifolium fragiferum L. Occurs plentifully amongst the grasses 
bordering a dyke behind the sandhills north of Skegness. 
Juncus compressus Jacq. sub-sp. J. Gerardi Loisel. On 
marshy ground. 
I believe all the Scirpus maritimus, so abundant in the dykes, 
is the var. compactus, with compact spikes and enlarged tubers 
on the roots. All I have gathered is so verified by Mr. Arthur 
Bennett. 
Carex arenaria L.,C. glauca Murr., C. distans L., C. hirta L. 
In marshy places.
