NOTES ON THE FLORA OF DERBYSHIRE. 
By toe Rev. W. H. Panter. 
As no complete record of the Flora of Derbyshire has been 
published, it is hoped that the following notes may stimulate 
the Botanists living in that county to investigate and record 
its plant-life. 
wing to the geological formations of the county, its Flora is 
; th 
an extensive and interestin In the northern portion of it 
ave a resting upon the rocks 
of the Millstone Grit Series, of which Kinder Scout (1981 ft.), 
Cowburn (1816 ft.), Axe Edge (1751 ft.), and Mam Tor (1709 ft.) 
are its highest points, with a subalpine Flora. These rocks 
extend from Glossop on the north to Duffield, near Derby, on the 
Beneath the Millstone Grit lie the Yoredale Rocks, which are 
well exposed in the ravines on the flanks of Kinder Scout and the 
Buxton, underlies the greater part of the county, and terminates at 
Matlock Bath, with outliers at Crich Hill, and Ticknall on the 
borders of Leicestershire. 
_ The Coal-measures extend from Sheffield on the north to 
within six miles of Derby; and parallel with these to the eastward 
is a broad band of Magnesian Limestone. The Flora of these 
parts has not been thoroughly investigated.
