1863.] BOTANY OF GREAT YARMOUTH. 491 



last list of Yarmouth plants appeared in Paget's ' History of 

 Yarmouth/ of which a new edition is now in the press. 



The following remai'ks refer exclusively to a few plants which 

 are presumed to have disappeared, or which have not been re- 

 cently reported from this part of the country, and to a few which 

 have recently been reported, but whose existence as Yarmouth 

 plants has been questioned. 



Frankenia Icevis, on the authority of the 'Botanist's Guide/ 

 and on that of a Yarmouth living correspondent, grow by the 

 river^s bank, near the ferry adjoining the Nelson monument. 

 Another correspondent wrote only a short time ago that he had 

 collected it on the Gorleston, or Suffolk, side of the river. It has 

 not been recently observed on either of the banks. Another cor- 

 respondent informed the writer of these remarks that he saw it 

 on the bridge which spans the river about a mile above the har- 

 bour's mouth. Any information about this plant, as a native of 

 Norfolk or Suffolk, will be very acceptable. 



The author of the articles on East Anglian Botany suspects 

 that there has been a mistake about the appearance of Stellaria 

 nemorum in the ' Phytologist' as a Yarmouth plant. That it may 

 grow in Norfolk is not very improbable ; but that it grows on 

 Yarmouth Denes, he, the aforesaid writer, doubts, because he 

 never saw it, but chiefly because it was unobserved and unre- 

 corded b}' Mr. Wigg and Messrs. Dawson Tamer and Dillwyn, 

 and especially by the Rev. Mr. Paget. Of course, any trust- 

 worthy notice or report of the occurrence of this northern plant 

 is most desirable, and, above all, of its having been seen near 

 Yarmouth. 



The rare Lepidium latifolium surely grows both in Norfolk and 

 Suffolk, though our Yarmouth correspondent who contributed 

 the articles on East Anglian Botany does not report it. But as 

 this plant has disappeared in Kent, if we may trust to two recent 

 local Floras of Faversham, it is not improbable that some of the 

 localities given in the ' Botanist's Guide' may produce it no longer. 

 At all events, it would be worth while to ascertain, as exactly as 

 possible, the precise location of this species. 



GEnanthe peucedanifolia is a species which has been often con- 

 founded with GE. Lachenalii, and the latter species may have 

 been mistaken for the former. Both species may grow in Nor- 

 folk and in Suffolk also, but the latter is a common salt-marsh
