OLD LINCOLNSHIRE PLANT-RECORDS. 
1724 AND 1726. 
Rev. EDWARD ADRIAN WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK, L.Th., F.L.S., F.G.S., 
Vicar of Cadney; Organising and Botanical Secretary, Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union. 
I HAVE received from Mr. J. Britten, F.L.S., of the British 
Museum, the following short catalogue of plants extracted from 
the Proceedings of a Botanical Society, which met at London at 
the dates given. In the proceedings of this Society Dillenius 
took part. We know that John Martyn, F.R.S- (1699-1768), 
founded his Bot. Soc. London, in 1721-26; and Vincent Bacon, 
F.R.S., surgeon and apothecary, of London and afterwards of 
Grantham, became a member of Martyn’s Bot. Soc. in 1721. 
The extracts are as follows. I have added the modern 
nomenclature in every case.
