BOTANY 



as truly native. Holosteum was probably used, as its name would seem to imply, for some 

 medical purpose, and it is strange that this plant should have been confined to East Anglia, 

 beyond which it does not appear to have extended. I have not seen it growing since 1887, 

 and the wall on which I then saw it was pulled down the following year. 



Eastward of Norwich are two small broads communicating with the river Yare, and one 

 of these at Surlingham was a locality for Lastrea cristata, now almost if not quite exter- 

 minated there. Further south, but still in this division, the late Rev. Kirby Trimmer first 

 found Potamogeton trichoides in Norfolk, though he gives to Mr. Skepper the credit of having 

 directed his attention to this species as having been found in Suffolk. 



The neighbourhood of Brooke and Seething has yielded many rare plants, among them 

 Lathyrus Aphaca^ Tul'tpa sylvestris and Doronku?n plantagtneum, but this last has probably been 

 introduced. Blackstonia perfoliata and Panicutn glahrum are both apparently native in the 

 extreme south of the division, and Asplenium viride appeared spontaneously, and held its own 

 for many years, and was at last destroyed by an alteration to the wall on which it grew.
