BOTANICAL RAMBLES IN WEST NORFOLK. 265 
Fine specimens of Aquilegia vulgaris were noted on Caldecote 
Fen ; Silene conica at Great Cressingham, Cranwich, and 
Gasthorpe ; Silene Otites on the Devil’s Dyke at Cranwich, 
and also within the Methwold boundary adjoining, and in 
Weeting near the Devil’s Dyke (several of the plants being 
18 ins. in height) ; Arenaria tenuifolia on Cockley Cley Warren, 
Roydon Common, Thetford Warren, Oxburgh churchyard 
wall, and part of Santon Warren in Thetford ; Medicago 
ialcata on the Weeting Road at Wilton. Cranwich, Kilverstone , 
and Gasthorpe ; Trifolium scabrum on Cockley Cley Warren 
and between Wilton and Weeting (in both parishes) ; Tillcea 
muscosa on Grimston and Roydon Commons, Santon Warren, 
and abundantly on Roudham Heath ; while in August the 
rarest but one of the bedstraws, Galium anglicum, was found 
fruiting in abundance, though in a very restricted area, on 
the top of chalk walls in Thetford. Asperula cynanchica 
occurred in abundance on almost every heathy area, par- 
ticularly on Cockley Cley Warren, Foulden Common, Cran- 
wich Devil’s Dyke, and adjoining heath in Methwold. and 
the Devil’s Dyke, Weeting (both on the Methwold and 
Wilton boundary). One plant of Achillea Ptarmica was 
found on the border of a ditch in Feltwell Fen ; Hypochceris 
glabra on Thetford and Santon Warrens and Swaffham 
Heath ; a flourishing colony of Campanula glomerata among 
bracken on the Devil’s Dyke, Cranwich (in August) ; and 
Oxycoccus quadripetala abundantly on Roydon and Grimston 
Commons. Liparis Loeselii was found just over the Suffolk 
border in Hinderclay Fen, at least 30 plants, from 5 to 6 ins. 
high, each having from one to three fruits, occurring in a few 
square yards in a very boggy area. One of the most beautiful 
of the floral feasts that we enjoyed was furnished by the 
massed orange-yellow blooms of thousands of specimens of 
N arthecium ossifragum on Roydon Common. Between Thet- 
ford and Rushford we found Phleum phleoides fairly common, 
in a locality noted by the Rev. E. F. Linton ten years ago. 
Another grass of limited distribution, Apera Spica-venti, rarely 
noted by Norfolk botanists, was found in several places, the 
specimens ranging from about 3 ins. high on part of Santon
