1 70 Crossland and N'eedhain : The Plants of Pecket Wood. 



unbroken sheets as in EUand Park Wood, but in more or less 

 interrupted patches towards the far end of the wood. 



In a paper of this g-eneral nature it is unnecessary to attempt 

 to deal with the peculiarities or characteristics of each plant in 

 however limited a degree. The remaining- phanerogams are 

 simply arranged under the kind of habitat they mostly favour 

 and compete for, this being considered preferable either to their 

 chronological order of appearance or their systematic sequence. 

 With one or two exceptions the nomenclature of the London 

 Catalogue, 9th ed., has been followed. 



Occasionally a little difficulty is experienced in deciding into 

 which division certain plants should be placed. In many cases 

 their power of adapting themselves to varied conditions is very 

 elastic, and such might with equal propriety be placed in several 

 divisions.
