"hibit the distribution of the individual species in the County, 

 are given the localities in which the plants have severally 

 been found, with a reference to the authorities, who vouch 

 for the occurrence of the plants in the places named. Where 

 one or more plants are set down without an authority follow- 

 ing-. Dr. Hind is to be regarded as responsible for their 

 ^authenticity. Plants separated by a semicolon (;) belong 

 to the same authority. A dash after a colon (: ) shows 

 a change of authority. The divisions are those appointed 

 under the Act of 1885 for the representation of the 

 County in Parliament. Divisions 1 and 2, together agree 

 nearly with Mr. H. C. Watson's West Suffolk, and 3, 4, 

 and 5, with his East Suffolk. No. 1 is the N.W. division; 

 No. 2 is the S. division (Sudbury). No. 3 is the N.E. divi- 

 sion (Lowestoft) ; No. 4 the East division (Eye); No. 5 

 the S.E. division (Woodbridge), for which we have substi- 

 tuted Ipswich, as being the more central and important 

 place. Also division 1, we have connected with Bury, as a 

 more fitting centre than Stowmarket. The localities for 

 the very common species are not recorded. In cases to which 

 peculiar interest is attached, as in doubtful or possibly 

 extinct plants, the occurrence of abnormal forms or unusual 

 varieties, special reference is made to the fact, or such ex- 

 planations are given, as maybe necessary for the information 

 of the reader. 



V. As far as has been possible, the earliest notice of 

 the occurrence of each species in Suffolk has been noted. 

 In some cases, more or less doubt may attach to the date 

 given. Great care, however, has been taken to ascertain 

 the correct year.
