ill fruit. This is called V. Rivinunia, R., and is common 
every vvliere. fiut there is a much less frc(|uent form, called 
V. lielchenbachicnKi, Bor., witli narrower and paler petals, spur 
bluer and not furrowed, prolongation at base of sepal small and not 
increasing in fruit; this I found in August last, in company with 
the Rev. F. W. Galpin, by whose invitation I was enabled to visit 
(Jawdy Hall Wood, near Ilarleston, where it grew. I think I also 
found this form lately in a wood at Beeston St. Andrew ; but there 
was merely a single flower out, and, perhaps because it was a 
late one, the marks of distinction were not very clear. 
Between Doreham and Seaming, I noticed recently three varieties 
of Rom canivu, L., viz. : R. iirhic.a, R. ^p/iaerica, and R. tomentella. 
Two, if not three of those, are new to that division of the county ; 
though previously reported for the neighbourhood of Norwich. 
In the same locality, the Rev. W. R. I.inton and myself were 
fortunate enough to come upon two rare sjiecies, which, so far 
as I am aware, have not been reported for Norfolk before. 
Ejnlohium roseuin, Schreb., was one of these. It is one of the 
least common of the Willow-herbs ; and I have never been able to 
find it anywhere previously. It grows in about twenty-seven 
counties, but very sparsely ; and is generally a difficult species to 
get a specimen of from other botanists. It is known in Essex, but 
doubtful for Sulfolk, ami not recorded for any other neighbouring 
county. Though called roseiim, the llowers in these specimens 
were rather pale ; this may be from their being nearly the last 
to come out. The leaves of this species are very distinctive, being 
stalked and narrowed at both ends. The stigma is entire. The 
locality is in Norfolk West of Watson’s divisions. 
The other plant my brother and I discovered that day was 
Jnnem diffusm, Hoppe. This too is very scarce, and (till the day 
before) we had never come across it. Though probably a hybrid, 
it is so fairly distinct that it is more often than not ranked as a 
species. It usually grows in very wet meadows where J. glaucus 
and J. effusns are found in compan3\ It is usually sterile or 
nearly so. It most resembles J. glaucus, having a finely striate 
rigid stem ; but the capsules are much smaller, the stems rather 
softer and greener, and the pith is continuous. In J. glaucus the 
pith is remarkably interrupted. 
It is rather curious that this Rush, after so long eluding Norfolk
