60 Preston : Lincolnshire Naturalists at Little Bythanu 



The Rev. E. Adrian Woodruffe Peacock, F.L.S., reports 

 that Little Bytham lies in a rich floral neighbourhood, instinct 

 with memories of long past workers. This meeting was 

 specially arranged to re-discover, if possible, Lris fovtidissi?na 

 and Melampynun cristatum. The latter was taken after being 

 sought in vain for eight years ; the former still remains to be 

 found, or is perhaps extinct now, though there is the Rev. W. 

 Fowler's specimen in the British Museum. From the full lists 

 of the Careby Wood species, supplied by Miss S. C. Stow and 

 Mr. J. S. Sneath, and my own notes from the abandoned railway 

 and Grimsthorpe Park, I make the following selection : — 



Coronopus Ruellii. 



Silene noctiflora.

its flore albo form.
