Arrangement of Flora
The arrangement of the flora is based on the Census Catalogue
of British Mosses (Warburg, 1963) and the Census Catalogue of
British Hepatics (Paton, 1965).
Where the origin of a record in one of the Census Catalogues
has not been traced, the edition in which the plant was first
recorded is given.
Records entered in square brackets are considered doubtful.
If a record is enclosed in round brackets the species in question
has not been reported in the vice-county during the past fifty-
years.
Acknowledgments
Although I must accept responsibility for any inaccuracies
that there might be in this work, I have received much assistance
from members of the British Bryological Society and others and
without their help this flora would never have been completed.
Mr B. T. Ward, Verderer of Epping Forest, not only contributed
many records but also checked the place names, a task which
required much knowledge in an historical county like Essex. I am
indebted to Mrs J. A. Paton, B.B.S. Recorder for Hepatics, whose
help and encouragement were most valuable. Mr A. C. Crund-
well, B.B.S. Recorder for Mosses, dealt with the Mosses and made
many helpful suggestions. Miss E. M. Lobley revised the original
draft of the Sphagna, and Dr A. J. E. Smith spent much time in
reading through the original manuscript and eliminated many
inaccuracies. Messrs E. C. Wallace, A. H. Norkett, C. C. Towns-
end and A. R. Perry gave help when requested. Dr H. L. K.
Whitehouse who dealt with F. Y. Brocas's Herbarium at Saffron
Walden, supplied me with the list of Essex specimens there. Dr
K. J. Adams has provided many records and has done much
searching for older records.
Eric Saunders would have enjoyed working with me on the
final stages of this flora. It would have been a better one with
his help.
