1862.] EAST ANGLIAN BOTANY. 327 



On this occasion we collected the following plants : — Geranium 

 sanguineum, Rumex with long, undulated or crisped leaves, Li- 

 gusticum scoticum, abundant among the rocks ; by the margin of 

 the sea, Artemisia Absinthium sparingly, Catabrosa aquatica, 

 etc. 



By Pitmilly Links, growing by the sea, margin of cultivated 

 fields, Cynoglossum offixinale with its downy foliage and small 

 dark wine-coloured flowers, Blysmus comp7'essus and ritfus. 



A single specimen of Hyoscyamus niger was all that represented 

 the many gigantic specimens which we have formerly observed 

 in this locality, also Asplenium marinum, Fife Ness, that had es- 

 caped from the fangs of the merciless fern-fanciers. 



Passing on towards Craig, as we rounded the north side of the 

 entrance to the Firth of Forth, we came upon a fine-spread lot 

 of the prince of British plants, Lithospermiim maritimum, grow- 

 ing by high-water mark, in a gravelly lake. We have found it 

 formerly north of Fife Ness, but failed this time in finding it 

 except in this spot. 



By the clifls at Craig we found the common Wormwood, Beta 

 maritima, and what has been registered as the native Cabbage. 

 This we found in a rough state, with Parsley, Parsnips, and various 

 other plants, tributaries from the gardens of Craig, where such 

 plants will readily be found where rubbish from gardens is cast 

 out, and circumstances favour their development.

EAST ANGLIAN BOTANY. 



{From, a Corresponde^d : to the Editor.) 



Sir, — Induced by a strong desire to investigate the vegetable 

 productions of our native land, and allured by the notices of Nor- 

 folk botany which have recently appeared in the ' Phytologist,' 

 we decided last July to visit this, the most eastern part of the 

 kingdom. 



The Great Eastern Railway supplies a cheap and expeditious 

 conveyance to Norwich, Lynn, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, etc., by 

 two routes; one by Bishop's Stortford^ Cambridge, Ely, and 

 Downham, and the other by a somewhat shorter route, through 

 Romford, Colchester, Ipswich, etc.
