published until more than 20 years after. In his earlier work mention 

 is made of several Suffolk plants, of which the following were new to 

 the County Silene conica ; (Enothera biennis; Sedum album ; Diotis 

 maritima; three Chenopodia; Atriplex farinosa ; Digitalis humifusai 

 Corynephorus canescens and Poa bulbosa. 



The publication of the Botanist's Guide in 1805 augured well for 

 the progress of Suffolk Botany in the 19th Century. Its list of Suffolk 

 plants comprises 365 species, of which 112 are Cryptogams ; and its con- 

 tributors in the County amounted to forty, all of whom, except two, 

 were still alive when the Guide was published. That so many persons 

 "were at that time giving attention to the local Botany, is an evidence 

 that the science had taken firm root in the County, and was bringing 

 forth good fruit. The Guide was compiled by Dawson Turner, F.R.S., 

 Ac., and Lewis Weston Dillwyn, F.R.S., &c. It does not pretend to 

 give complete lists of the plants of the various Counties, but only the 

 rarer and more interesting species. The fact that one of the Editors 

 resided at Yarmouth, on the border of this County, largely assisted in 

 making the Suffolk list more perfect. 



The chief contributors to the Suffolk portion of the Botanist's Guide 

 and the more important plants added by them to the County Flora, 

 are, Dawson Turner, Esq., F.R.S., F.A.S., F.L.S., &c., a banker in 

 Yarmouth ; we owe to him Hesperis matronalis ; Erodium moschatum ; 

 Potentilla procumbens ; Chcerophyllum sativum ; Suceda maritima ; Cerato- 

 phyllum submersum ; Gagea lutea ; Potamogeton rufescens ; Eleocharis 

 acicularis ; Carex axillaris^ remota, (Ederi (cyperoides), binervis, and 

 Jiliformis ; Avenafatua and 54 Cryptogams. 



Lilly Wigg, F.L.S., was trained as a shoemaker ; for a time he was 

 a schoolmaster and afterwards a clerk in Messrs. Gurney and Turner's 

 bank at Yarmouth : to him we owe Barbarea prcecox ; Viola palustris ; 

 Trifolium maritimum ; Carduus tenuiflorus and pratensis ; Pyrola rotundi- 

 folia ; Verbascum Blattaria ; Centunculus minimus ; Salix argentea ; 

 Polygonatum 'multiftorum ; Ehyncospora alba ; Eleocharis multicaulis ; 

 Scirpus pauciftorus ; and two Cryptogams. Mr. Wigg is also the earliest 

 authority for Peucedanum palustre; Valerianella dentata; Lamiunt 

 incisum and with others for Cladium Mariscus.
