INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS TO WATSONIA 
PAPERS 
Papers are invited both from members of the Society and others. 
They should have a bearing on the taxonomy or distribution of British 
Vascular Plants or Charophytes. Papers may be typed, but clearly 
written MSS. can be accepted. They should be double-spaced and 
written or typed on one side of the paper only. The fonn adopted in 
Watsonia, Vol. I, Part IT, should be used for citations and references. 
Full references should be put at the end, except where special reasons 
exist (e.g. the citation of place of publication of a plant name) or in 
very short papers. Illustrations, which may take the form of line 
drawings or photographs, will be considered for publication. Twenty- 
five separates of each paper are given free to the author, and further 
copies may be obtained on payment; requests for extra copies should 
be made when proofs are returned. Papers should be sent to the Editor, 
Dr E. 1^. Warburg, Druce Herbarium, 9 Crick Road, Oxford. 
PLANT RECORDS 
Records are for the year previous to publication when no date is

[ ] enclosing a record : to indicate doubt as to the validity of the 
record, either of identification or locality. 
Records should be sent, if possible not later than the end of the 
year to which they belong, either to the Editor, Dr E. F. Warburg, 9 
Crick Road, Oxford, or to Mr E. C. AVallace, 2 Strathearn Road, Sutton, 
Surrey. 
Records wdiich are known to be of local interest only should not be 
sent. Should there be doubt on this point it is better to send the record. 
The appropriate County Flora should be consulted in this respect. 
Attention should be given to recording varieties and critical species. In 
some County Floras these are not adequately recorded. If the jilant 
belongs to a critical group, the name of the expert by whom it was 
determined must be given : if the plant has not been named by an ex-
