NOTE ON THE VEGETATION OF CROMER, NORFOLK. 
By Heney Temen, M.B., F.L.S. 
Wuutz staying at Cromer, on the ae coast of Norfolk, during 
the past August, 1876, I marked in a ‘London a ogue” the 
species I met with in a small radius— neva ore than tw ie tou 
with the peculiarities - East Anglian vegetation, on 
here presented in a strongly marked manner. In the first place, 
paucity of species is striking; the whole number marked was 
a singularly small number*—and of these the great bulk are 
the universally diffused European and British species. Notwith- 
standing this, the — of the eastern counties generally gives the 
impression of luxuriance, and, as has been frequently observed, is 
much more showy zm that of the Atlantic side of England. The 
leading plants which by their combination in masses cause this floral 
brilliancy are, in August, Reseda lutea, Silene inflata and S. vespertina, 
Enautia arvensis, Cichorium Intybus, Carduus nutans, Centaurea vea- 
biosa, Senecio Jacobea, Linaria vulgaris, Lycopsis arvensis, Echium vul- 
gare, and some others. These are typical and char: acteristic species 
about Cromer. 
Besides them the following less conspicuous plants are important 
factors of the vegetation, bein — abun dant in the uncultivated 
portions of the low sandy clift in waste groun :—Sisymbrium 
nse, Ero tum, 
arvensis, ee Medioago \egiadiron Trifolium arvense, T. procu

- Babington, who was also staying in Cromer at the same time, has, 
decay tied end as poate visits, raised the whole number of ew 
ey i ono a eam iderably over over two miles.
