BOTANICAL NOTES 
FROM THE SHEFFIELD DISTRICT. 
T. GIBBS anp E. SNELGROVE, B.A. 
THE following list is the result of botanical rambles in South 
Yorkshire and North Derbyshire during the three years 1891, 1892, 
and 1893, and is intended to be read as supplemental to the records 
contained in Mr. F. Arnold Lees’*‘ Flora of West. Yorkshire,’: and 
the Rev. W. H. Painter’s ‘Contribution to the Flora of Derbyshire.’ 
Most of the work was done on the Derbyshire side, and within six 
miles of Sheffield ; but it was diversified by several excursions to 
more distant localities in Derbyshire and West Yorkshire, where the 
somewhat poor flora of the coal measures is replaced by the rich 
and varied floras of the mountain and magnesian limestones. 
The arrangement and nomenclature is that of the 8th edition 
of the London Catalogue; an exception has, however, been made 
in the case of the fruticose Rubi, in which group the order and 
nomenclature are those adopted by the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, F.L.S., 
in his ‘ Key to the British Rubi.’ All the specimens in this puzzling 
group have been looked through and their nomenclature authenticated 
or (where necessary) corrected by Mr. Rogers. 
The counties to which the records belong are indicated by the 
initial ‘Y’ or ‘D’ prefixed to each; one locality, viz., Cresswell 
Crags‘is entered throughout under ‘ D,’ though it is in fact partly in 
Nottinghamshire. The initials after a record indicate the contributor ; 
where none are given the species has been noted by both the 
compilers of this list.
