Statice reticulata. Hiltree Island. 
Listera cordata. Stayley Moors. 
Trollius europceus, in great plenty, in a wood between 
Stayley Hall and Scout Mill. 
Galamagrostis stricta. Oakmere is now the only known 
British locality for this grass ; for although it was formerly 
found by Mr. Hon in two places near Forfar, it has long 
since been extirpated by drainage. The plant grows very 
abundantly on the boggy shore at the north-west end of 
the lake. I see no probability of its extinction in this 
locality. Thousands of specimens could have been gathered 
last June without exhausting the supply. 
Air a caryophillea and prcecox. Both of these species are 
found in every county in Britain, and yet neither are 
common in Cheshire. A. caryophyllea may be considered a 
rare plant with us ; it is therefore .somewhat remarkable to 
find such extremely luxuriant examples as those I exhibit. 
On May 1st, last year, the side of the road near the Abbey 
Arms Inn, Helamere, was covered for upwards of half a 
mile with its beautiful silvery panicles ; in less than a month 
afterwards there was not a vestige of the grass to be seen. 
Possibly the fact that they fade so soon is one reason they 
are not more frequently noticed. 
Festuca pseudo-myurus attracted my attention near the 
farm entrance to Dunham Park. It differs from the typical 
form (which I exhibit from Oakmere) in being more slender, 
and having a very long, attenuated, and drooping panicle. 
In Cotterill Clough I had the pleasure of seeing 
Hordeum sylvaticum, for which this has long been 
named as the only station in our local flora, and of late it 
was by most supposed to have ceased to exist even here ; 
it was not abundant, but was flowering very freely. 
Lycopodium inundatum grows at the edge of the Fish- 
pool, Delamere, and I also found it on Lindon Common. 
The last station again adds the species to our Manchester
