 purpureo-caeruleum: 'Bergholt' in Watson's Topographical Botany. This requires 

 investigation, and should not be accepted until confirmed ; Mr. H. C. Watson could get 

 no more information.) Veronica triphyllos : Little Thurlow. Melampyrum- cristatum :

3. Orwell 



This division, coloured pink on map, is in the south of the county, and includes a small 

 piece of coast line which produces some very interesting maritime species ; it is well watered 

 by the River Orwell (called the Gipping above Ipswich) and the Deben with its numerous 

 side streams. 



North of a line drawn through Bramford, Ashbocking Green, Otley, Monewden, and 

 Earl Soham this district is on the chalk mostly overlaid with chalky Boulder Clay, with patches 

 of sand or gravel. South of this line the newer ferruginous shelly Red Crag formation crops 

 up, but it is rarely exposed owing to the glacial sands and gravels overlying it ; along the 

 rivers the underlying London Clay may be cut into. 



An isolated deposit of Coralline Crag occurs south-west of Shottisham, and Coprolite Beds 

 have been worked near by and also at Sutton, Bawdsey, and Trimley, but are becoming 

 worked out. The beds are pebbly, rich in phosphate of lime, and are used as manure. 



Species worthy of Special Notice 



(Those unique in Division in Larger Type) 



Brassica oleracea .* Felixstowe. Lepidium latifolium : By the River Orwell and a pond 

 near Ipswich. Frankenia laevis, a plant typical of Eastern England, grows at Felixstowe. 

 Silent conica : Wherstead. Medicago falcata : Landguard Common and Boulge. AI. minima 

 and Trifolium suffocatum grow on Landguard Common and about Bawdsey. Vicia lutea : 

 Between Landguard Fort and Felixstowe. Lathyrus maritimus occurs near Landguard Fort. 

 Alchemilla vulgaris : Woodbridge. Pyrus torminalis : Helmingham. FilagO galHca : 

 A rare Germanic cornfield weed, which has been found at Sutton. Essex is the county 

 from which most British Herbaria are supplied, Berechurch and Castle Hedingham being its 

 localities there. It formerly grew in Kent and Buckinghamshire, and in 1867 occurred near 

 St. Martha's Chapel, Chilworth, Surrey. Pulicaria vulgaris : Bramford. \_Diotis Catldi- 

 Jissima^ a remarkable plant with woolly leaves and stem, has been found near Landguard 

 Fort, but not recently. It is a decreasing species in England, and almost extinct now ; it 

 possibly lingers in Cornwall, Hampshire, Suffolk, Anglesey, and Jersey, whilst it is still locally 

 plentiful in Ireland (Waterford and Wexford)]. Primula elatior : Finborough. Statice 

 Bahusiensis grows at Chelmondiston and Wherstead ; at the former spot, S. Limonium grows 

 with it, and the hybrid S. Neumani may be observed (see Journ.Bot. 1904, p. 361). Veronica 

 triphyllos : Shottisham and Barham Heath. Melampyrum cristatum : Clopton Park, Rattlesden, 

 and Bramford. Salicornia radicans : Walton and near Landguard Fort. S. appressa : Chel- 

 mondiston. Hippophae rhamnoides : Lane between Shottisham Church and Sutton Heath
