ADDITIONAL RECORDS OF ESSEX PLANTS. 185
As I indicated in the Essex Review,2 the face of the country has
been so greatly changed by various agencies during the past
twenty years that many species, even if sought in their exact
localities, will not now be found and have probably gone for ever.
The list, which is arranged according to the second edition of
Druce's List of British Plants, 1928 (though some species are
subsequent additions to the British Flora) has been considerably
extended by the inclusion of plants largely from South and
West Essex, kindly placed in my hands by Mr. C. Nicholson
before he left the county. I have not seen dried material of any
of these latter so they must rest on the authority of the finders.
Mr. E. E. Turner has kindly furnished me with some
additional records, although many of his plants were included in
Mr. Nicholson's lists. In a number of cases the records have
appeared in the volumes of the Essex Naturalist, but even
where this is the case I have thought it better to bring this
scattered material into the compass of a single paper, but I
believe I have been able to avoid the duplication of records
included in my 1926 paper. Records without collectors' names
are my own.
A few of the names standing in recorders' lists have been
altered in accordance with Druce's List and some will possibly
appear strange to readers.
