326 BURGESS : RARER PLANTS OF SPILSBY. 
of kind friends. I take this opportunity, therefore, of acknow- 
ledging the valuable aid I have received from everyone, and, more 
especially, from Mr. J. Jarvis Rainey, of Spilsby, whose untiring 
researches during the last two or three seasons have been rewarded 
by some speciaily good finds. 
The order in which my list is arranged and named is practically 
that of the Eighth Edition of the London Catalogue. Where this 
has not been followed, the authors whose names have been used are 
given, and, where circumstances justify, special remarks added.

1882. A few scattered plants were found on the sea bank 
at Croft.

of this somewhat rare plant was discovered in a plantation at 
Hundleby, by Mrs. Burgess, in 1882, and has been under 
observation ever since. It also grows freely on a bank at 
Gunby, but here is probably a garden escape. :
