REV. E. F. LINTON ON A FEW NORFOLK PLANTS. 
botanists, should turn up within a week in three diiferent jdaces in 
the county, viz., at Bradfield (near North Walsham) and Beeston 
St. Andrew in the East division of the county, and near East 
Derehain in West Norfolk. 
Eor the last two years I have noticed a small form of Myosotis 
collina, Hoffm., which I had ventured to think was the variety 
Mittenii, of the London Catalogue. It is not, however, a well- 
known plant, and many good botanists have never seen it. In the 
Eeport of the Botanical Exchange Club just out. Prof. Babington 
remarks on my specimens : “ They seem to be the true plant. 
I had not seen it before.” I have gathered very nearly the same 
plant on a sandy common between Thetford and Eushford ; and 
got some excellent examples last May at Lawlish Warren in 
South Devon. 
I mentioned in last year’s ‘ Transactions ’ that Potamogeton 
imsillus var. tenuissimus grew in a ditch between Norwich and 
Hellesdon. The other day I gathered it between Attlebridge and 
Alderford. I think there is an unnamed specimen of it in the 
Salmon Herbarium in this room. The most obvious point of 
distinction is that the very narrow leaf has only one nerve. 
I should like to mention here that the Jiincus nigritelhis, which 
was mentioned in the ‘Transactions’ for 1884-85, as found by the 
Eev. W. E. Linton and myself near Holkham, Avas J. nigritellns 
of Don, not Koch. Juncus nigritelhis, Koch, is a variety of 
J. supinus, better known now as J. Kochii, Syme. Ours was the 
small variety of J. lamprocarpus, Ehrh. 
The next plant I have to mention is reported once for the 
county in l\Ir. Geldart’s list, as occurring near Lynn, on the 
authority of the Eev. G. Munford. This is the neat looking sedge, 
Carex curfa, Good. It is very plentiful in some mountain 
districts, and I have gathered it at an elevation of three thousand 
feet or thereabout both in Perthshire and Porfar. It has a wide 
distribution, occurring in several of our southern counties ; but in 
East Anglia it is decidedly rare, and for Norfolk well worthy of 
mention. I found this Carex in June of this year by the edge of 
Barton Broad, on the Barton Turf side. It was only to bo seen in 
one spot ; there it was growing, in a quaking morass, suggestive of 
a mud-bath. There were several tufts of it, so in due time it may 
help in making a lirmer surface.
