one with whom he came in contact. In his particular branch of 

 botany his loss is quite irreparable. Such a good systematic and 

 collector is a rare treasure nowadays. The knowledge which he 

 possessed is not to be learned from books or classes, and demands 

 both natural aptitude and years of observation and study. 



His name is commemorated in the genus Battersia founded

NOTES UPON HIND'S FLORA OF SUFFOLK. 



By C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



Whilst preparing an article upon the flowering plants of 

 Suffolk for the Victorian History of the county, it seemed a suit- 

 able time to take advantage of Dr. Hind's suggestion in the 

 preface to his Flora : — " Whilst the Flora has been in progress, a 

 Herbarium of Suffolk has also been in course of preparation. . . . 

 As it is to be placed in the Ipswich Museum ... it w r ill be avail- 

 able for future students of Suffolk Botany; and it will serve as a 

 test of the correctness, or the contrary, of the genera and species 

 as set forth in this work." By the kind permission of the Museum 

 authorities I was allowed to examine the Herbarium at Ipswich, 

 and to borrow many of the more critical forms for careful study. 



The notes which follow show the result of this examination, 

 and must be compared side by side with the Flora ; particular 

 note must be taken that the comments refer only to the plants 

 from the localities cited and not to the species generally. 



The opportunity has been taken to add a few records (distin- 

 guished by an asterisk) which appear to be new to their respective 

 divisions of the Flora : all the other plants may be found in the 

 Ipswich Museum. 



I wish to thank, for much critical help, Messrs. A. Bennett, 

 J. Groves (Ranunculus, Characea, &c), Eev. E. F. Linton (Rosa,
