Abstract
THE first local Flora published in England gives a list of the plants of Hampstead Heath. It was prepared by Thomas Johnson, Apothecary on Snow Hill. Early on the morning of the 1st August, 1629, and accompanied by a few friends, he left London and proceeded on a simpling expedition to Hampstead, by way of Kentish Town and Highgate. A heavy shower arrested their progress for a little, but nothing daunted they made their way into the woods, and then on to the heath. The day's excursion was brought to a close in a country inn at Kentish Town, where the party dined together.
