This article highlights the discovery of a new species of flatworm, Marionfyfea adventor, in St. Nicholas Fields in York. The flatworm is believed to have been brought from New Zealand through the horticultural trade, and its ecological characteristics are not well understood. Additionally, the article discusses the herbarium collection of John Dodd, a botanist from the late 18th century, which contains valuable information about the flora of Cumberland during that time. The collection includes detailed descriptions of 399 plant species and their habitats. The article also explores the different editions of the botanical book "Withering" and its guidance for novice botanists, as well as the plant localities recorded by John Dodd. It further examines the abundance of plant species and the changing landscape and habitats in Aspatria, Cumberland, and acknowledges the contributions of other contemporary botanists in the area. Overall, the herbarium collection by Dodd serves as a foundation for understanding the flora of Cumberland and predicting future changes. [Extracted from the article]
