Anemone Pulsatilla, Ophrys apifera, Brachy podium pinnatum. 
6. Atlantic Type. — Species which have their head quarters in the south- 
west of England, and run out northward and eastward Examples : 
Hypericum Androssemum, Sedum anglicum, Asplenium marinum. 
7. Local oe Uncebtain Type. — Species too much restricted in their dis- 
tribution to be ranged under any of the preceding pages. Ex- 
amples : Actaea spicata, Potentilla fruticosa, Gentiana verna. Or 
doubtful for various reasons 
In those cases in which the species has been discovered within the 
limits of the county, since the “ Flora ” was published : or further infor- 
mation of sufficient importance to be worth recording has been obtained 
respecting it : or correction and explanation were rendered necessary, 
the line which contains the category of citizenship and type of distribu- 
tion to which the species belongs is followed by a paragraph conveying 
the requisite information As may readily be supposed, new localities 
have been ascertained during the interval which has elapsed since the 
“ Flora ” was published, for the greater proportion of the rarer species 
included in it. But they have only been given in the present work in 
those cases where very few localities were mentioned under a species in 
the “ Flora, ” or further verification and confirmation of its occurrence 
within the limits of the county has appeared desirable. I may take this 
opportunity of expressing an acknowledgement of my obligations to 
the numerous kind friends and correspondents, whose names will be 
found throughout the pages of the work, who have furnished lists of 
localities, illustrative specimens, and information of various kinds. It 
will be understood, that in those localities which are not followed by the 
name of any authority, I have personally collected the species under 
which they are given. A note of admiration implies that I have examined 
an authenticated specimen, either from the station specified or of the 
plant described by an author ; and in most of these cases an example is 
preserved for reference in my herbarium. 
In arranging the second part of the work, my colleague has followed 
the same system of nomenclature and the same order of sequence of the' 
genera and species that was adopted in the “ Flora.” We should, however, 
have preferred taking the “ Brvologia Europea” of Bruch and Sehimper 
as a Standard of classification, if the issue had been completed, or Wilson’s
