MU. G. H. HARRIS ON THE FLORA OF GREAT YARMOUTH DISTRICT. 130 
Mr. Turner, to have been found at Ormesby ; 1 have not yet found 
it nearer than Kidding. 
Ranunculus hederacem is easily found in the ditches on the 
North Denes, of which there are more now than in Paget’s time. 
Amongst the Papaveraceae the most notable thing is the 
disappearance of Gl annum luteum. I have never seen it by the 
south pier, nor anywhere on the coast between Hasbro’ and 
Lowestoft. North and south respectively of these places, it grows, 
I believe, plentifully enough. Its extermination at the pier, is, 
perhaps, due to visitors, who would almost certainly carry away the 
pods as mementoes of their visit. 
Amongst the Cruciferse, Cheiranf/ius clu-iri is, of course, 
abundant, and I should not mention it, were it not for a fact 
perhaps worth recording. Up to five years ago or thereabouts, 
Winterton Church was ablaze with this flower. It grew from the 
top of the tower to the foundation, rooting itself, of course, in 
the mortar of the crevices of the stonework. The sexton told me 
that as it took all the virtue, (as he expressed it), out of the mortar, 
it would have to be removed, and that has been done, probably at 
no small expense. Put a few plants now remain, and the church 
is shorn of a dangerous glory which was its weakness, and not 
its strength. It is more of a Samson without its golden locks 
than it was with. 
One may be always certain of finding Teesdalia nudicanlis on 
the North Denes. Paget says it is uncertain. It is very local, 
restricting itself to certain spots, and never crossing over to the 
South Denes, but it is perfectly regular in its appearance. 
Of the Caryophyllacese, I must confess to a great difficulty in 
determining whether a verv humble little Cerastium. flowering in 
sandy places, should call itself Semidecandrum or Tetrandrum. 
This is the earliest flower on the Denes, flowering before and in 
the closest company with Draha renin, and being from its incon- 
spicuousness, often confounded with Draha. The habitats of 
Tetrandrum and Semidecandrum incline me to the former name : 
but on the other hand, whilst recognising the variability of 
Tetrandrum, I find the flower on the Denes far more often 
possessing five stamens than four, and this fact inclines me to 
Semidecandrum. Paget calls it Tetrandrum. The fact that the 
plant is so very early — flowering at the latter end of March in
