1861.] NOTES ON NORFOLK PLANTS. 295 



Rectory. Epilobium angustifolium is a Ranworth plant, and a 

 very conspicuous one : it flowers in August. (This species has 

 a predilection for peat-bogs and for fens. It also thrives well on 

 rocks above Killiu, Breadalbane, a situation probably above 2000 

 feet in altitude; here it is on a level with the coast.) 



Bupleurum roimidifolium grows sparingly in chalky-marly 

 cornfields about Crostwer and Korstead. It is one of the rarest 

 of our plants. 



We are comparatively rich in rare Compositce ; for example, 

 we have Crepis paludosa, a plant which a neopliytogeographer 

 would describe as new to the Ouse province. It has probably 

 been here since Noah's Flood ; it is certainly here now, in moist 

 woods near Knapton and Cromer, and it bears no marks of 

 being a recent importation, like the Iheris amara, Arenaria 

 balearica at Moncrieffe, etc., and some of the species lately re- 

 ported from Wandsworth. 



Diotis maritima is indeed a gem, a rare flower of our Suflblk 

 shore, near Orford. May its numbers never be fewer, but on 

 the other hand may it increase and multiply along both the 

 southern as well as on the eastern coasts ! 



Senecio paludosus is only occasionally found in bogs at Ran- 

 worth. It is a large handsome plant, with conspicuous flowers, 

 and easily distinguishable from our other British Ragweeds. 

 (We wish some Norfolk correspondent would tell us, or rather 

 the readers of the ' Phytologist,' where Senecio palustris [Cine- 

 raria palustris) and Sonchus palustris grow in their bounds. 

 They have been recently told of a good locality for the latter.) 



Artemisia campestris is found, though rarely, on heaths near 

 Yarmouth. Is this a new station for this rare plant ? The 

 Thetford locality has been long known. 



Campanula latifolia has been detected in an osier-bed?, or 

 alder-wood, called Laseys, at Ranworth, a fine plant with large, 

 handsome, pale-blue flowers. I first observed it here in July, ] 857. 



Andromeda polifolia occasionally appears at Ranworth. I ob- 

 served it in June 28th, 1855, and 1857, when it was in flower. 



I also found Pyrola rotundifolia in flower, October 19th, in 

 a wood by the side of a lake at Fritton, south-west of Yarmouth; 

 also in bogs at Bardwell, among seeds, and growing out of 

 what are called gnat-hills. Here there are large tumps of Carex 

 paniculata, where Lastrea spinulosa abounds. Sometimes L.
