NOTES ON SOME RARER NORFOLK PLANTS. 
631 
colony of Scirpus maritimus. On Ling Common, Castle 
Rising, and South Wootton Commons Myrica Gale was noted 
in great abundance. The exceptionally dry summer of 1911 
gave us the opportunity to examine the bog on Bio’ Norton 
Fen with less danger than usual, and there we found another 
Norfolk locality for Liparis Loeselii, which was not infrequent. 
Helleborine longifolia is widely distributed in East Norfolk, 
but finds at Holme, Titchwell, and East Walton were additions 
to the few recorded West Norfolk localities. Another orchid 
of general distribution is Habenaria conopsea, but specimens 
on East Bilney Common are worthy of mention, an average 
one being 2 ft. in height, with a head 7 in. long and 3 in. 
in diameter. Allium vineale var. compactum was found on 
the bank of the freshwater marsh at Holme (the type 
grows persistently at Sheringham), and Allium oleraceum 
adjoining Barnham Common, Thetford (S). Scirpus fluitans 
was found abundantly in ditches at Hempstead, near Stal- 
ham ; S. filiformis on East Ruston and Beeston Commons; 
Scirpus Taberncemontani at Brancaster and Palling; and 
S. compressus on Massingham and Swardeston Commons. 
Rynchospora alba was found in large quantities on Roydon 
and East Winch Commons and Holt Lowes; Care. x limosa on 
Roydon Common and Smallburgh Fen ; Phleum phleoides at 
Brettenham, and in great abundance at London Bottom, 
Icklingham (S) ; Phleum arenarium at Wilton and Laken- 
heath (S) ; Calamagrostis canescens at Thompson, Great 
Hockham, Wroxham, Hainford, Hellesdon, Palmer’s and 
Fenhouse Heaths, Brandon (S), and Tuddenham Fen (S) ; 
Avena pratensis on Cockley Cley and Massingham Heaths, 
at Thompson, and at Eriswell (S) ; Melica nutans at Hethel ; 
Festuca rottboellioides at Waxham and Holme; and Equisetum 
sylvaticum on Holt Lowes. 
Pure white flowers of Lychnis Githago were found at 
Tottington, of Ononis spinosa on East Walton Common, 
Scabiosa arvensis at Palling, Centaurea scabiosa at Eriswell 
(S), Campanula rotundifolia at East Winch and Garboldisham, 
Erica tetralix on Roydon Common, Cent annum- umbellatum
