LONDON 
The City of London (area 1 square mile) is in vice-county 21 (Middlesex). 
With the exception of that by Lousley, which refers to the City of London, all the works 
here listed are general and relate to the “‘London area’”’ or the “metropolitan area,’’ whose 
limits have varied somewhat with different botanists but are now generally regarded as 
bounded by a circle with a radius of 20: miles about St. Paul’s Church, thus including the City of 
London, all of Middlesex County (vice-county 21), and parts of Buckinghamshire (vice-county 
24), Essex (viee-counties 18, 19), Hertfordshire (vice-county 20), Kent (vice-county 16, West 
Kent), and Surrey (vice-county 17)—essentially what may be called “‘Greater London.” Publi- 
cations on individual localities within this area are placed under the appropriate counties. 
The principal ones that might be looked for under London are Ardagh (Islington), Hampstead 
Scientific Society (Hampstead Heath), Warren (Hyde Park), and Webster (Regent’s Park), 
listed under Middlesex; Currey (Greenwich area) and Webster (Greenwich Park), under Kent; 
Curtis (Flora Londinensis), under Great Britain, General; Groves (South London) under 
Surrey.

Brief account of compilation of list, collaborators, ete.; annotated list of 
vascular plants and Characeae [1,835 species and 433 infraspecific taxa and 
hybrids], with localities and names of collectors. P. 334-360 constitute a 
supplement. “Not intended to be a ‘Flora’ of the London area, but remains, 
like its predecessor, primarily a statement of observations made by past and 
present members of the Society;’’ but it lists essentially all the species known 
from the area, except for many casual aliens found in the late 19th and 
early 20th centuries and apparently not seen since. It covers a radius of 
20 miles around St. Paul’s Cathedral, including the whole of Middlesex and 
parts of the counties of Buckingham, Essex, Hertford, Kent, and Surrey, as 
well as the administrative county of London which includes parts of four of 
these counties. Replaces Bishop, E. B., Robbins, R. W., and Spooner, Herman.
