SENECIO PALUDOSUS AND S. PALUSTRIS IN 
EAST ANGLIA. 
By Arthur Bennett, F. L.S. 
Head 28th February , 1899. 
For some time I have made a point of jotting down any notes 
I come across on the dying-out or nearly extinct species of the 
British Flora. In doing this I find I have come across stations, etc., 
hitherto unpublished ; and while l can, it seems best to put on 
record what I have gathered together, and as these two species are 
of the greatest interest to East Anglian botanists, I am sending 
these notes to the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society. 
They may be viewed as a contribution to the history of the two 
species as British plants. I take the counties as they are named 
in Watson’s ‘Topographical Botany,’ ed. 2, 1883.

This is one of our rarest species, and according to Mr. Clarke’s 
‘ List of Earliest Notices,’ was first recorded bv Ray in his 
Catalogus Plantarum circa Cantabrigensis nascentium 37, 1660.
