FLORA OF GREAT YARMOUTH DISTRICT. 
By G. H. Harris. 
Read 27th May, 1805. 
In the remarks I am about to make, I purpose giving a few 
observations on the changes in the flora of my own district. 
Seeing that these remarks will have as their basis the list of 
Sir James Paget, compiled in 1831, and that I have not had an 
opportunity of comparing my result with the flora of Kirby 
Trimmer, I am rather afraid you will often find me anticipated by 
that later list. I must therefore ask for your forbearance if my 
short paper is sometimes of the nature of a rrambe repetifa. I will 
also premise that I confine myself to the Phanerogams, as I have 
no acquaintance with the field botany of the Cryptogams. 
It will, I think, suit the plan of the paper best, if I first run 
through Paget’s list, taking the natural orders in his sequence, and 
commenting on whatever species presents points of interest by 
reason of its increase, decrease, or change of habits. The district 
that I have explored — at present quite cursorily and ineffectively — 
a district that Mr. Geldart was kind enough to map out for me — 
corresponds in the main pretty closely with that in which Paget 
worked. Towards the north my bounds run further, as Paget’s 
limit in that direction seems to have been Winterton, omitting the 
interesting country between Winterton and Happisburgh ; whilst 
out west he occupied country, St. Rennet's Abbey, Ac., on which 
1 do not touch ; towards the south our boundaries coincide, as they 
necessarily do towards the east. 
Amongst the Ranunculaceas Anemone nemorosa is, according to 
Paget, very rarely, if ever found. Now this is extraordinary in
