A CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF 
NORTH (OR LAKE) LANCASHIRE. 
LISTER PETTY, 
Ulverston, Lancashire. 
THE list that follows is a selection from notes made in an attempt to 
extend the Lancashire localities in Mr. J. G. Baker’s ‘ Flora of the 
Lake District,’ 1885. Only those plants are included whose Lond. 
Cat. (Ed. 8) census is 40 or under. So far as possible, no locality 
already published is given, except to confirm some record or note 
that a plant is disappearing. In these cases references are given. 
To Mr. Baker and Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill I am much indebted ; of 
the new plants, specimens have been seen by one or other of those 
gentlemen where their confirmation was felt to be necessary, or 
where I found myself at fault. Mr. Wm. Duckworth has kindly 
allowed four new plants, found by him, to be included. 
Plants new to North Lancashire are marked *.
