MR. W. G. CLARKE ON A WEEK IN BRECKLAND. 68l 
Drove road near the Punch Bowl and in the middle of West 
Tofts Belt ; and the Henbane ( Hyoscyamus niger ) with its 
curiously arranged double row of capsules, among the mounds 
which mark the site of St. Helen’s Church, Santon, and 
almost surrounded by a luxuriant growth of Sand-sedge 
(Carcx arenaria). The Rock-rose (Helianthcmum vulgare) was 
found abundantly on the south and west sides of Grimes’ 
Graves plantation, growing on the outskirts of the wood in 
tufts two or three feet long, kept short by the Rabbits like 
many of the heather-tufts, no spray being more than three 
inches in length. In the track made by the horses on the 
“ Drove,” immediately west of West l ofts Belt, in a site first 
noted by Mr. H. Dixon Hewitt last year, Mr. Mayfield and 
I found the rare Moss-like Tillaea (Tillcea muscosa) not uncom- 
mon, appearing at first sight like a dwarfed form of Sedum 
acre. On the ” Drove ” also, near the Punch Bowl, we noted 
the Spathulate-leaved Cudweed (Filago spatliulata) and on the 
shores of Langmere, the Golden Dock (Rumex maritimus) an 
inland station for this seaside species, which here only attains 
a height of from two to three inches. Large patches ot Ring- 
mere, and a belt extending from end to end of the long pool in 
Langmere were occupied by Amphibious Persicaria (Polygonum 
amphibium) which in full bloom presented a spectacle of 
wondrous beauty. On Ihetford Abbey Heath there was an 
abundance of the rhyme-leaved Sandwort (Arenaria serpylli- 
folia ) while a small patch of marshy ground on Thetford 
Two-mile-bottom Common contained Toadrush (Juncus 
bufonius) Bitter Cress (Cardamine amara), Thyme-leaved 
Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia) and a colony of Buckbean 
(Menyanthes trifoliaia), the nearest known station of which 
is at Wilton, seven miles distant. 
Many of our best finds were, however, made on Barnham 
Cross Common, where Mr. Dutt and I followed in the footsteps 
of Mr. Dixon Hewitt. Here we found fairly commonly the 
Field Southernwood (Artemisia campestris) : the Spanish Catch- 
fly (Silcne otites), the Thorny Rest-harrow (Ononis spinosa), 
the Perennial Knawel (Scleranthus perennis), and the Purple 
Mountain Milk-vetch (Astragalus danicus), and the White
