Abstract
SOME of the correspondence in your columns on the subject of the flora of the Cheddar Cliffs seems to assume that the Somerset County Council has a power to “proclaim” the flowers in question, that is, to protect them from being gathered, and that it has not exercised this power. I should be much indebted to any of your correspondents who can show me what power the council possesses to protect particular flowers; or how a bye-law can be framed for this purpose with any chance of its being valid. I think it will be found that, without further legislation, County Councils are powerless to afford the protection desired.
