AND FERNS. 267 
CUPULINEKA. 
315. Quercus Robur. (There are some dwarfish, 
stunted, rugged, gnarled oak trees, evidently 
very old, in a rough, damp pasture called 
the Harst (the Hurst), between Mildenhall 
and Eriswell; these may be relics of an 
aboriginal wood. Trunks of oak trees are 
not uncommonly found buried in the peat 
of the Fens, and prove that the tree was 
indigenous in this district). 
310 Corylus Avellana. (Hazel-nuts are occasion- 
ally found buried in the peat of the Fens, 
but I do not remember to have ever seen 
the hazel growing apparently wild any 
where in this district). 
SaALiGCAC EA. 
Bee oalix fusca (vars. a. fusca and 0: repens). 
(In the boggy grounds and on the sandy 
heathy ground bordering on. the bogs, 
between Mildenhall and Eriswell). 
Salix. (I omit the rest of this genus, partly 
because I have not studied it, and partly 
because I am very doubtful which of the 
species and varieties, or whether any of 
them are real natives of the Mildenhall 
district). 
ORCHIDE/S, 
318. Spiranthes autumnalis. (On damp, grassy 
ground by the side of the road from Mil- 
denhall to Eriswell, a little way beyond 
Holywell Row). :
