An edition of the Synopsis was published in 1724 by J. J. Dillenius, 

 M.D. This celebrated botanist was born at Darmstadt, and was edu- 

 cated at the University of Giessen. He was brought to England by 

 Wm. Sherard, and at his instance edited the Synopsis. On the founda- 

 tion of the Professorship of Botany in the University of Oxford under 

 the will of Mr. Sherard, Dillenius was appointed to fill the chair. 

 In 1735 he took an Oxford ad-eundem Degree. He died of apoplexy 

 April 2, 1747, in his sixtieth year. The additions to the Suffolk list in 

 Dill. Ray are Thalictrum minus ; Hzlleborus fcetidus ; Lepidium ruderale ; 

 Erysimum cheiranthoides and orientate ; .Sedum anglicum ; Asperula cynan- 

 chica ; Senecio palustris ; Asperugo procumbens ; Verbascum pulverulentum ; 

 Orobanche ramosa ; Thesium humifusum & Urtica pilulifera. 



In the Herbarium of that diligent Botanist the Rev. Adam Buddie, 

 in the Botanical Department of the South Kensington Museum, formerly 

 in Sir Hans Sloane's Museum, there are several Suffolk plants ; probably 

 many, as in 1698 his home for a time was at Henley in Suffolk. Un- 

 fortunately he rarely gives localities for his plants. His Mss. in the 

 British Museum have been looked into by a friend but without impor- 

 tant result. He seems to be the earliest authority for Medicago falcata ; 

 Lathyrus palustris; Eryngium campestre; Triticum junceum; Nitella 

 flexilis. 



In 1763 the Plantas Cantabrigienses of Thos. Martyn, B.D., F.R.S., 

 Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge, was published. 

 To this were appended * Lists of the more rare plants growing in many 

 parts of England and Wales.' In 1797 he issued the first part of an 

 edition of P. Miller's Botanical Dictionary, which was completed in 

 1807. P. M. Miller's original work was first published in 1724. Martyn's 

 works added to our Suffolk list, Glaucium luteum ; Cakile maritima; 

 Honkeneja peploides ; Malva moschata ; Prumus Avium ; Artemisia mari- 

 tima ; Neottia Nidus avis; Acorus Calamus; and several Cryptogams.
