NOTES ON NORTH NORFOLK PLANTS. 
By James Saunpers. 
Durine a brief holiday at Wells, Norfolk, in August, 1899, and 
at Sheringham, 1898, the following plants were noticed. Most of 
these have already been recorded for the Watsonian vice-counties 
(27 East Norfolk and 28 West Norfolk) in which the districts are 
situated, but their interest as recent records may warrant their 
publication. 
most interesting stations visited were two sandy flats, 
which are apparently inundated in winter. These are situated 
amongst the sand-dunes about midway between the entrance to Wells 
Harbour and Holkham Bay, on the seaward side of the pine trees 
which form a conspicuous feature of this part of the landscape. The 
most noteworthy species observed was in the more easterly of these 
sand-flats. This is a form of Gnaphalium luteo-album L., of whic 
there were some hundreds of plants, which whitened a sonaidgeable 
area with their downy foliage and stems. All of them were un- 
branched, most were erect in =<? and only a few were slightly 
decumbent at the base. I think th ae can be no doubt that it is 
native in the locality specified, which is remote from houses, 
uninfluenced by “oo agama nat iso and out of the track of

Associated with the Gnaphalium were many thousands ¢ 
Eirythrea_pulchella Fries, from one to two inches high. This 
given in Hooker’s Student’s Flora as a subspecies of E. ieee 
Pers., but when the two forms are seen in company, as in 
instance, their wide dissimilarity in — and in the colour of the 
corolla seems to warrant specific r 
It should be remarked that the eemsively dry summer of 1899 
evidently affected the development of several species that grew on 
these sand-flats. This was especially noteworthy in Gnaphalium 
luteo-album, E’rythrea pulchella, Glaux maritima, Polypogon monspelt- 
ensis, and Statice caspta, all of whic r less starve 
habit; even Juncus compressus in its unusually shortened stature 
gave evidence of a diminished supply of moisture. In Liymus
