The level land which stretches east and southwards from 

 Southport is in many parts intersected by little watercourses, 

 the flora of which presents features quite novel, and often of 

 .great attractiveness. The most interesting constituents are 

 not, perhaps, those which possess the special charm of beauty 

 of blossom, except in some few instances. There are plenty, 

 however, that are gay enough for the bouquet, as will be seen 

 from the enumeration, which includes also the principal 

 marsh plants.
