CATALOGUE OF BRITISH PLANTS 
IN THE HEEBAEIUM 
OF THE 
YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 
H. J. WILKINSON, Honorary Curator. 
In order to render the Herbarium useful to those members 
who are interested in the Study of Botany, either in regard to 
the classification or distribution of plants, or the diagnosis of 
genera and species, an attempt has been made to arrange the 
specimens in accordance with the Natural System adopted in 
the London Catalogue of British Plants (eighth edition, 1886- 
90). 
In doing this the specimens constituting the various 
Herbaria will be clearly defined in the Herbarium Catalogue. 
The consecutive numbers which appear on the left hand of 
the names of the plants denote the position of the specimen 
in the Herbarium and Catalogue. 
For the nomenclature and distribution of the plants, the 
following works have been consulted: — Sir Joseph Dalton 
Hooker’s Students’ Flora of the British Islands, 3rd Edition, 
1884 ; H. C. Watson’s Topographical Botany, 2nd Edition, 
1883, and the London Catalogue already alluded to. 
The Honorary Curator is deeply indebted to Mr. Arthur 
Bennett, E.L.S. (Croydon), for his kindness in establishing 
the identity of several of the specimens, in addition to the 
practical advice that he has so freely given on many occasions.
