NOTES ON THE FLOEA OF SUFFOLK. 



meteorological data, it would be well to warn the reader that he 

 must not expect too close a parallelism between average favourable 

 weather conditions and indications of rust prevalence. Cloud and 

 ram, at particular seasons (especially January to March), are 

 together very favourable conditions for the attack of cereals by the 

 fungus ; but a very few days of each would suffice for attack, and 

 these days might not bring the average cloud proportion and rain- 

 fall of the month up to a normal standcird. Still, on the whole, we 

 would expect to find a decided, though not perhaps a close, paral- 

 lelism, and this, I think, the data disclose.

NOTES ON THE FLOEA OF SUFFOLK. 



By Arthur Bennett, F.L.S. 



The publication of Dr. Hind's Flora of Suffolk* calls attention 

 to a county which I believe has not yet been sufficiently explored. 

 The sandy "brick-lands" have not yet yielded all that is to be 

 found on them ; and among aquatics I feel confident that other 

 discoveries will be made. Careful and continuous searching is 

 especially required in the extreme N.E. portion of the county for 

 aquatics ; and such species as Potamogeton zosterifolius, P. acuti- 

 folhis, Nairn marina, Chora stelligera, &c, will probably reward the 

 searchers. I have made the following notes in looking through 

 the Flora, and I add a few localities. Watson = H. C. Watson's 

 Geographical Distribution of British Plants (1843): for localities 

 followed by ! I am responsible. 



Myosurus minimus L. Marshes near the Gipping, at Ipswich, 



Watson. 



Ranunculus hederaceus L. Local about Ipswich. Belton Bog, 

 Watson. Between Yarmouth and Burgh, by the river ! — H. Jim tans 

 Lam. River at Brandon ! — R. arvmsis L. • Bungay, Watson. 



Aquilegia vulgaris L. Brettenham, in hedges, Lk. Babington. 



Helleborus viridis L. Stradbrook, Watson. — H. fcetidus L. 

 Chedbury, Mia Bell; Watson. 



Berberis vulgaris L. Plentiful by the road-side between Elveden 

 Hall and Icklingham ! 



Sisymbrium polyceratium L. I have a specimen labelled " 29/7/88, 

 E. M. Holmes." A fuller account of the plant is given in New BoU 

 Guide, p. 592.
