293 NOTES ON NORFOLK PLANTS. {OctobeVy 



dium Draba is taking its place in our lists, and possibly it ap- 

 pears in some of the ancient localities for this fine plant. 



Lepidium Smilhii and Nasturtium sylvestre grow sparingly 

 by hedges near Ranworth. Cochlearia danica appears among 

 stones at Breydon, near Yarmouth, and also at Burgh Castle, 

 though rare. Is found by watersides. 



Note. The common Crucifers are omitted in the above enu- 

 meration ; those quoted are very favourable representatives of the 

 Order in a county which is nearly flat, and possesses no rocky 

 elevations. Further, Iberis amara, which occurs, was intro- 

 duced from Berkshire, probably among seed-wheat, and Brassica 

 oleracea, from Torquay, Devon. 



The following are not grouped in Orders, because there are 

 so few under each Order that to enter them as above would oc- 

 cupy more space than is necessary. 



Reseda alba grows on sandhills at (jisleham, near Lowestoft. 

 A great many plants like those observed at Wandsworth, are re- 

 ported from this locality. (Will some obliging friend send a list 

 of them to the Editor or to the Publisher of this magazine ?) 



Viola odorata is plentiful about Ranworth and Aldeby, in 

 woods and on hedge-banks. The white variety of this early fa- 

 vourite is found occasionally in these parts. 



Frankenia Icevis grows in salt-marshes, near Yarmouth, in 

 abundance. It is one of our frequent maritime species. 



The following rare Caryophyllaceous plants (would Dr. Lindley 

 call them Caryophyllads ?) occur in this district (a strip of coast 

 between Lowestoft, Yarmouth and Norwich), viz. Dianthus pro- 

 lifer, in pastures, near Norwich ; also at Thorpe and Catton 

 occasionally. (Is it plentiful in pastures ? — Ed.) D. Caryophyllus, 

 on an old wall near the Cathedral Close, Norwich, August 1st, 

 1856. I have not seen it since. Of Silene Otites I found some 

 tiny plants in flower at St. FaitVs, near Norwich, August 15th, 

 1855, and again July 28th, 1859. I found a few plants of S. 

 anglica, in flower, about Whit- Sunday, 1857, in some fields be- 

 longing to Sir R. Mittou, near Thetford, and also at Brandon in 

 the same year. 



Moenchia erecta is common. 



Stellaria nemorum is another addition to the Ouse province, as 

 a Cybelian or a Watsonian would enter this species, that is, if he 

 condescended to enter it at all in his records of new discoveries.
