34 A day's collecting at LOWESTOFT. [February, 



Siachys alpina. Valley of the Bocq, near Banche^ on the border 

 of the same wood in which grow Aconitum Lycoctonum and 

 Lunaria rediviva. 



In the spring I was invited to spend some time with a friend 

 at Liege, and rejoiced in the thought of making quite a harvest 

 of rare plants^ but^ unfortunately, bad weather effectually pre- 

 cluded any botanical rambles. My only captures were Holosteum 

 umbellatum, which grew abundantly by the side of a ditch along 

 the towing-path and up the hillsides in the Val Benoit, and 

 Veronica Buxbaumii, very common in a lane near the railroad. 

 The only other locality in which I have met with this latter was 

 at Newmarket, in the parklike grounds formerly the property 

 of the famous (?) Crockford, and which are still known by his 

 name. In another part of the same grounds there was a good 

 patch of Doronicum plant agineum, but wliether indigenous, or in- 

 troduced with the trees under which it grew, I had of course no 

 means of ascertaining. 



I must not omit to mention, in reference to my former Notes, 

 that the last wet spring brought forth Crassula rubens and Poly- 

 gala comosa again, in great abundance ; and* that our Corydalis 

 bulbosa (solida, Smith) is the variety digitata, Reichenbach. 

 We searched the valley most carefully, but could not find a 

 single specimen with undivided bracts. 



•I must likewise rectify two slight misprints in my June article: 

 instead of the Visdre, the river is the Vesdre ; and our village is 

 Houx (the French for Holly), not Honx. 



A DAY'S COLLECTING AT LOWESTOFT. 

 By H. Trimen. 



While staying for a short time at Lowestoft, during the past 

 August, I collected a few plants which I think it may be useful 

 to enumerate for the benefit of future botanical visitors to the 

 east coast. 



Lowestoft, I should first mention, is by no means a good lo- 

 cality (botanically speaking), and I would not recommend it to 

 any collector. It consists of a long straggling town, divided into 

 two parts by the river Waveney, which forms its harbour, and
