in “Lyson’s Magna Britannia” as being the station for it 
sixty years ago. 
Utricularia minor was flowering most freely at Oak- 
mere in the small ponds made by digging out the peat for 
fires. It seldom blooms, although found in several places 
in this district. I have seen it for many years on Hale Moss, 
but was never able to gather a single flower. 
By the side of a rivulet near Rostherne the ground was 
carpeted with 
Lysimachia nummularia , whose bright-yellow flowers 
were in great profusion. On stiff soil this species, when 
once introduced, grows readily, and would probably be 
much commoner were it not that, like many other creeping 
plants, it seldom produces seeds. 
In the higher parts of Cotterill Clough there are some 
fine shrubs of 
Daphne Laureola , which was supposed to have been 
nearly destroyed by the herbalists. 
I expected to be able to record an addition to our local 
flora, in 
Orchis conopsea. I have known of it for some years on 
Knutsford Moor, where it blooms so freely, that I was first 
attracted by the scent. I find, however, that it is recorded 
as growing in the same situation in the work I have 
referred to. It is singular that neither Buxton nor Grindon 
have noticed it in this locality. I may state that in the 
same book the following stations are given for species, which 
are well worth the attention of botanists. 
Villarsia nymphceoides , Delamere Forest. This species is 
not now known to exist in the county. 
Alisma ranunculoides. Kelsail. 
Limosella aquatica. Frodsham. 
Pilularia globulifera. Congleton Moss. 
Saxifraga aizoides. Beeston Castle. 
Lathyrus Nissolia. Blaconpoint.
