Lathraea squamaria take precedence of Edwin Lees’s records 
in Loudon, 1830 ; Orchis ustulata takes precedence of the

The late Mr. Edwin Lees in the introductory remarks to 
his catalogue of Worcestershire plants, contributed to the 
“Illustrations of the Natural History of Worcestershire,” 
by the late Mr. Charles Hastings, M.D. (1834), to be 
described hereafter, has given a list of the principal works in 
which notices of Worcestershire plants were to be found up 
to that date. Those which have not been already referred 
to in these pages are the following:—

of England and Wales.”
