EAST ANGLIAN BOTANY. 



{Continued from par/e ZZ^.) 



On Tuesday, the 15tli (St. Switliin's day), our walk was by 

 the Waveney, on the Suffolk side, and we sauntered or loitered 

 about its banks till we heard almost accidentally that Burgh 

 Castle was in that direction, and toward this ancient ruin we 

 now proceeded. 



While on our way thither for the first time, for we w^ent 

 again on the 31st, the ditches and opposite arable land about 

 the village of Burgh, by their alluring aspect, tempted us to 

 deviate from the river bank, which by this time had become 

 wearisome. Botanists never lose their way, or, in other words, 

 they improvise a way, and all ways are conducive to their pur- 

 suits, especially if accompanied by change of situation and soil. 

 This divergence from the river-side added at least a long mile to 

 our walk, for, at the place where we turned to the left to go 

 through the meadows to Burgh Castle, we were not more than 

 half a mile from the object of our search, if we had kept by the 

 bank of the stream, but, by going through the village, we both 

 increased the distance and added several interesting plants to our 

 diurnal list. 



Nothing was met with in the marshes which had not previ- 

 ously been observed, but in the lane from thence, leading up to 

 the street or road, some strange forms of Mentha aquatica were 

 collected. In and about this village Sisymbrium Sophia abounded, 

 as indeed it did near villages in all this part of Suffolk. Cheli- 

 donium majus and Smyrnium Olusatrum made their appearance, 

 but so sparingly, and under such suspicious circumstances, as the 

 purists say, that if we had not known something of their history
