in the Natural History of Yarmouth, and in the works of Sir J. E. Smith. 

 To this was added new matter obtained from several contributors, but 

 little or nothing from the personal researches of the Author, who likely,, 

 at the time, had no special knowledge of the County. 



The Authorities for new Suffolk plants in N.B.G., and the added 

 species, are, D. Stock, of Bungay Medicago maculata-, Monotropa 

 Hypopitys ; Myosotis collina ; Veronica polita ; Chenopodium murale ; 

 Polygonum minus ; Ceratophyllum demersum ; Lemna gibba ; Schosnus 

 nigricans ; Carex divulsa ; Calamagrostis epigejos ; Kcehleria cristdta. 

 Samuel Woodward, of Norwich, Carex stricta. 

 Winch, Isatis tinctoria. 

 Miss Bell, Hypericum calycinum. 



John Lindley, Ph.D., F.R.S., &c., Professor of Botany in University 

 College, London, Eubus K&hleri. 

 Messrs. Paget, Apium repens. 



The later works of Mr. Watson deal with a speciality in Botany 

 the Geographical Distribution of Plants in Great Britain. His re- 

 searches in this department of botanical science are chiefly contained 

 in Cybele Britannica, 4 vols., London, 1847-59 ; and a supplement 

 (not published), 1860. This superseded an earlier work, ' Geographical 

 Distribution of British Plants,' printed for private circulation in 1832. 

 In 1868-70 was published, ' Compendium of Cyb. Br. ; and a supplement 

 to the same in 1872. His ripest thoughts and latest researches on the 

 same subject were published in 1873-4, in 2 vols., under the title, * Topo- 

 graphical Botany.' In his own field of inquiry, Mr. Watson has no 

 equal, and he has left his mark on British Botany for all time. 



A work, entitled Southwold and its Vicinity,' by Robt. Wake, 

 M.R.C.S.L., was published in 1839. The Flora of the neighbourhood is 

 treated of in a short chapter of six pages. It adds but little to our- 

 knowledge of the rarer plants of the County. It supplies the earliest 

 notice of Crithmum maritimum, and possibly of Cyclamen hederifolium, 

 as he seems to indicate that Sowerby's plate was taken from a plant 

 supplied by Mr. Wm. Hay, gardener to Lord Stradbroke. 



In 1846 was published, in small folio, 'Specimens of Natural Grasses 

 of West Suffolk,' by W. & H. Raynbird, of Hengrave. The work has. 

 been looked into, but no special use has been made of it for this Flora.
