FLORA. PLAN OF THE FLORA. A. Annual. B. Biennial. C. Perennial. The authority upon which a plant is stated to occur follows the locality, and, where none is added, it must be concluded that the authority for its occurrence rests solely on that of the author. The county, as has been already stated, is grouped into seven districts, distinguished by the Roman capitals A, B, C, D, E, F, G. In the following List of Plants, the order agrees with that of the London Catalogue of British Plants (sixth edition). The first line gives the Latin and English names; then follow in succession the names whereby they were designated previous to Linnæus, as well as their subsequent synonyms; the reference to Mr. Hewett Watson's important works on the distribution of plants in Great Britain; Cybele Britannica, Compendium to the same, and Supplement; Mr. Boswell Syme's important edition of Sowerby's British Botany (just completed); Babington's British Manual, sixth edition, 1871; Hooker's Student's Flora, 1871; Moore's Nature-printed British Ferns; and Newman's History of British Ferns, 1844; the conditions under which the plant grows; also whether it is a native, colonist, or an alien; the various gradations between very common and very rare; and, lastly, the extension of the plant in any of the four adjacent counties and Normandy. SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS. []. The localities inclosed by square brackets designate the probability or the certainty that the plant no longer grows there, and if it incloses the whole account it is probably extinct in the county. (Designates the doubt as to the accuracy of published statements, it being considered right not to omit them altogether. * Before the Latin name indicates plants introduced, and more or less completely naturalised. ! After the Latin name indicates that the author has seen the plant growing in the county. †That the author has received fresh-gathered specimens from the spot. ‡ That he has received dried specimens gathered within the last two years, or statements without such evidence on warrantable and undoubted authority.
