flora, unless the bird-sown theory be sound). Seen (by 

 Mr. Wilson) on three different occasions during the years 

 1883 to 1888, who is quite sure it is the true plant, being 

 familiar with its facies in other localities. The nearest 

 known station in Kingsdale (W. Yorks.) is not above three 

 or four miles as the crow flies. 



Festuca elatior L. , a. majus (type) ! Near Melling, July 1888. 



Festuca sylvatica L. {Calamarid). Mr. Wilson also sent me 

 a specimen of this, from a wood near Leek, but I have 

 mislaid it somewhere. 



Epilobium angustifolium L. Leek Fell, on calcareous rocks, 

 altitude 1,280 feet, July 1888. 



Scleranthus annuus L. Field near Garstang, July 1888. 



Helosciadium inundation Koch. Marshy pool near Yealand, 

 along with Nuphar lutea, July 1888. 



Helminthia echioides Gaert. Clay banks by sea, between 

 Naze Point and Lytham, July 1888. 



Carex laevigata Sm. Swampy woods by river Calder, near 

 Garstang. 



Rosa tomentosa Sm. (pseudo-mo His E. G.B.). Near Garstang, 

 September 1888. Bush five to seven feet high, arching. 

 Flowers deep rose colour. 



Rosa mollis Sm. Banks of Calder near Garstang, September 

 1888. (The type, with connivent fruiting sepals, and 



smooth globose heps.) 



Rosa mollis Sm. (glabrata Fries?). Hedges at Leek, July 1888. 

 Nearly glabrous long-oval leaflets, prickly small sphasrical 

 fruit, nearly straight long'-based prickles. Bushes three to 

 five feet high, scarcely arching. 



Potamogeton natans L. Type. Ponds near Garstang, very 

 abundant ; all over the Fylde plain in nearly all the pools 

 below 200 feet. 



Stachys arvensis L. Field near Silverdale, May 1888. 'This 

 is very rare in West Lancaster Vice-county.' 



Titia parvifolia L. (cordata Miller). N.C.R. Quite wild 

 and flowering well, in rocky woods on limestone near 

 Warton. One of the most interesting of Mr. Wilson's 

 additions to our knowledge of the range of our native 

 woodland trees.
