VEGETATION OF BLAKENEY POINT. 33 



although topographically not part of the " elbow," must from 

 the character of its flora be included here. 



The common species are : Lotus corniculatus, Rumex 

 acetosella, Plantago lanceolata, Armeria maritima and Poa 

 pratensis. 



All of the above, with the exception of Armeria, are 

 characteristic members of inland gravel heaths ; and to these 

 we can add Galiunt verum, Aira prcecox, Festuca ovina, 

 Koeleria cristata and Senecio sylvaticus, which are also found 

 on the highest parts of one or more of the banks. Such plants 

 as Bellis, Carduus, and Hordeum, which are only to be met 

 with in the near neighbourhood of the Watch-house, doubtless 

 owe their presence to human agency. 



The following is a complete list of the species observed on 

 the elbow, the numbers of the banks, as above, only being 

 given when the distribution is not general :
