NORTH LANCASHIRE PLANTS. 
JOHN HENRY, 
Barrow-in-Furness. 
TuE following is a short list of plants which I have found in 
the North Lancashire District. They have been examined hy 
Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill, F.L.S., and two of them which were doubtful 
confirmed by Mr. J. Gilbert Baker, F.R.S., and Mr. Lister Petty 
assures me that the habitats of the plants have not previously been 
recorded for this district; and to these gentlemen I offer my humble 
thanks for their valuable aid. I have omitted all plants (as far as I 
know) which have already been recorded for the district, unless 
I have found them in a different position from the record. I have 
also in the list four new records, namely, Rumex maritimus L., 
Melilotus alba Desr., Cnicus eriophorus Roth., Atriplex littoralis L.
