322 NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK BOTANY. [November, 



which was a puzzle to him, as it had been and still is to myself 

 and others. We found most, if not all, of the marsh plants enu- 

 merated in my previous list, several of which were new to my 

 brother-botanist. We had some difficulty in finding specimens of 

 Utricularia minor, which was plentiful last year. This I conceive 

 to be owing to the scarcity of water in some of the shallow pools 

 in which the plant grows. Shortly after finding the Liparis, we 

 crossed the river and entered the county of Norfolk. We con- 

 tinued along the bank of the stream in an easterly direction to- 

 wards Diss, where my friend was to take the train for Norwich. 

 Among the rushes, etc., on the left we soon espied that hand- 

 some plant Ranunculus Lingua in considerable quantities. Fur- 

 ther on, in the river itself, we met with Sium latifolium QXid.Ru- 

 mex Hych'olapathum. After a time we emerged into the high 

 road from Lopham to Bressingham and Diss, and on the hedge- 

 bank to the left, shortly before reaching Bressingham, we saw 

 Mentha sylvestris growing in the greatest abundance. At Bress- 

 ingham my companion and myself parted company, he pursuing 

 his way to Diss, and I proceeding on my return to the place of 

 my temporary sojourn in Sufiblk. In woods at Bressingham, 

 Angelica sylvestris and Lythrum Salicaria were growing most 

 luxuriantly, and Rhamnus Frangula and R. catharticus were 

 abundant. Lysimachia vulgaris was also occasionally to be met 

 with. 



Arrived upon Wortham Ling, I soon espied Cnicus acaulis, 

 which was plentiful there. In one spot on the Ling, near the 

 bridge over the Waveney to Roydon, there was a considerable 

 quantity of Spiranthes autumnalis ; and a little further on, in a 

 rather damp place from which the surface had been pared, I ob- 

 served a number of specimens of Radiola Millegrana, which was 

 the last of my recent botanical discoveries in East Anglia. 



The above is not a very extensive list of plants, but it is a fair 

 supplement to the article on Norfolk and Sufi:blk Botany, which 

 was printed in the ' Phytologist ' for November, 1861. The spe- 

 cies, though few, are of great rarity and interest.
