Method of online Te object being to give a chrono- 
logical view of the plants, the method followed has been to give, 
1st, the name in Lond. Cat. (with one or two exceptions); 2nd, the 
name given to the plant in the work in which it is first given as 
growing in N. Lancashire (if different), followed by the locality. 
After, the arrangement, I think, requires no explanation, changes in 
name of locality (not necessarily a different one), or authority being 
noticed. In dealing with the old names there may be errors in 
determination, but, it is hoped, few. In the localities, too, it is 
sometimes difficult to understand what a writer means, and I may 
have claimed more than I ought for the northern part of the 
~ county.
