Hardwick in 1741, and was educated at the Charter House. He was 

 Bath King of Arms from 1771 to 1800. He became a member of the 

 Corporation of Surgeons in 1778, and of the College of Burgeons in 

 1800, and attained to eminence as a practitioner in Bury St. Edmunds. 

 He became in succession F.R.S., F.L.S., & F.S.A. He early applied him- 

 self to the study of Botany, and some interesting finds by .him are 

 recorded in Sir John's Journal. His ' Floras Anglicse Specimen ' was 

 commenced (inchoatus) in 1774, and, though printed, was not published. 

 In 1785 he succeeded to the Baronetcy and family estate ; he lived 

 to the ripe age of 90, and was buried at Hawstead. 



The contributions of Sir T. G. Cullum to the Flora of Suffolk may 

 "be found in Gillingwater's History of Bury, 1804, and in the Botanist's 

 Guide, 1805. The former work contains an anonymous list of Suffolk 

 plants, chiefly from the neighbourhood of Bury. From internal evi- 

 dence it is plain that it was written by Sir Thomas. There is also a 

 statement in the Botanist's Guide, p. 557, to the effect that the list was 

 from his hand. The list contains 180 plants, nearly 40 of which are new 

 records for Suffolk. In the Botanist's Guide 89 Suffolk plants have Sir 

 Thomas Cullum's name attached to them, but the greater part of these 

 had appeared in his list of the preceding year. The more interesting and 

 important species contributed by him are Papaver hybridum ; Sisym- 

 brium polyceratium ; Altli&a officinalis; Medicago silvestris; Trifoliwn 

 medium and suffocatum; Lathy <rus silvestris]; Ly thrum Hyssopifolia ; 

 Tamarix anglica; Myriophyllum spicatum ; Herniaria glabra ; CEnanthe 

 peucedanifolia (? Lachenalii) ; Chcerophyllum Anthriscus; Hypochceris 

 maculata ; Crepis fwtida ; Cuscuta Epithymus ; Orobanche elatior ; 

 Mentlia piperita; Anagallis ccerulea; Chenopodium hybridum ; Rumex 

 maritimus and palustris ; Salix fragilis and undulata ; Epipactis palus- 

 tris ; Herminium Monorchis ; Cephalanthera ensifolia ? ; Sturmia Losselii ; 

 Iris fcetidissima and Tulipa silvestris. It has seldom fallen to the lot of 

 a Naturalist to add so large a list of noteworthy plants to a County 

 Flora. His eminence as a Botanist is sufficiently attested by the flat- 

 tering dedication of the English Flora to him by Sir J. B. Smith, and 

 by the genus Cullumia-Lisianthus, named in compliment to him. 



Six years before the publication of the History of Bury, Loder's 

 History of Framlingham was given to the world. This work was 

 enriched by a list of local plants, drawn up by one who has a name in
