128 Mr. Turner'j Calcndar'ium Plantarttm marinarum. 



bcr, I ncvcrthelefs flatter m)'felf witli the hope that it may have its 

 ufe, by inducing the botanifts of dillant counties to bcftow feme at- 

 tention upon this negledted branch of a favourite fubjecl. For its 

 accuracy, as far as it extends, I can with fafety vouch, as I have ad- 

 mitted nothing that has not been the refult of my ov/n adlual ob- 

 fervation, either upon Fuel found along the Norfolk lliore, or upon 

 a few which I have at various times received through the medium 

 of failors from the fouthern counties. 



It now only remains for mc to add, that a principal caufe of the 

 impcrfeftion of the following Catalogue lies in our being wholly 

 unacquainted with the fruftification of many fpecies, as Fitcus fac- 

 <harinus, Vilunv'^^ viridis, &c. together with almofl; all the membra- 

 naceous i/A;^, and a great proportion of the Confervie\ which genus 

 I fhall hapdly mention, as our knowledge of the fpecies is at prefent 

 fo imperfed:, that it requires more than ordinary fortune to find 

 two botanifts who agree in affigning to the fame plant the fame 

 name. 



Yarmouth, 

 February lo, 1799. 



* This Fucus, figured in the Flora Danica, tab. 886, was, I believe, firft difcovered to 

 be a native of Great Britain by Sir Thomas Frankland, Bart. F. L. S. and is occafionally 

 gathered upon the Yarmouth beach. It deferves to be remarked, that when freJh it is 

 of a beautiful orange colour, which it lofes after having been a fliort time expofed to the 

 air, and becomes of a pale verdegris green; but if kept in frefti v/ater it changes this alfo 

 -to a dark brown.
