KIEJ.U MEETINGS, iU49 
Wolt'ei'ton ]}each has been a comparatively well-worked small area 
and afforded the critical workers o])])ortunity to obtain good material 
of varieties of Festiica rubra and Agropyron spp. Here, too, were 
noted Desinazeria marina, Hordeum marinum in abundance, and 
I'hleum arcnarinm . It was a good year for the sea-coast variety of 
Ihbtnex crispus nearing the fruiting stage on the shingle storm-shelf. 
Other interesting salt-marsh and shingle plants included Arenaria 
Si ipyllifnlia var. macrocarpa, Limonium binervosum, Suaeda fruticosa-, 
whilst Chenupodium ficifolium was found on a farm rubbish-heap 
nearby. 
After a picnic lunch the party visited Dersingham Fen, parts of 
which are bog-peat overlying the Lower Greensand and bordering the 
tyt)ical heather and Scots pine country. By the roadside a large clump 
of Mentha alopeeur aides, a frequent Norfolk mint, often cultivated in 
cottage gardens, was seen. There was a fine' show of Narthecium in full 
flower, associated with JRhynchospora alba. Several species of J uncus 
were noted, including J . bulbosus var. Kochii; here also were seen fruit- 
ing plants of Oxycoccus quadripetal-us and its speckled-fruited 
variety. In the birch-scrub areas Hypericum dubium and a newcomer 
for this station in Lysimachia punctata were observed, the latter an 
obvious escape from gardens close at hand. 
By kind invitation of Mrs F. J. Bone, tea was taken at Sandring- 
ham, where members were escorted through the grounds and incident- 
lally found Lemna minor in flower by the lake, Manunculus Lingua 
massed with Lysimachia punctata, and one plant of Carex paUescens. 
Heavy and prolonged showers now brought field work to an abrupt close 
but members enjoyed being shown the beauties of Sandringham church 
through the kindness of Mr Bone, who gave a short organ recital. The 
closing of a B.S.B.I. excursion with musical honours must be unique! 
Sunday, July 17th. 
In the morning Roydon Common was visited. This is one of the 
many tracts of heath on the range of the Lower Greensand hills which 
borders the eastern shore of the Wash. Here members found a new 
station for the special plant of this large area of 670 acres, namely, 
Hanimarbya paludosa, the known local range of which is thus extended 
by about a mile. Dvosera anglica was found to be very rare, but masses 
of non-flowering Utricularia intermedia filled many of the wet hollows. 
Other interesting plants were Platanthera bifolia, Eriophorum latifolium 
and Carex lepidocarpa. The presence of these latter two, more or less 
calcicolous, plants, in an otherwise typical acid-heath flora, appeared 
somewhat incongruous, but the swamp areas in which these are found 
carry the drainage of decalcified gravels and loams of the surrounding 
hills. On the acid-heath Orchis ericetorurn was seen in small quantity. 
After lunch by the roadside the party visited^ Derby and Sugar 
Fens which are good examples of true sedge-fens and similar to the
