mistake for S. aquaticus.

This species was much more abundant than S. paludosus, not 
only as to numbers, but as to counties ; but it has now become 
very scarce. It is uncertain in its appearance, as, notwithstanding 
what is stated in books, it is a biennial (not a perennial), as I find 
in my garden, and at Filby. But I think I could gather it in 
three counties still. 
That the plant must have been fairly abundant formerly, is 
shown by its having acquired a real local name, i.e., “ Trumpets,” 
at Halvergate, Norfolk. The name of “ Trumpets” does not occur 
in Britten’s and Holland’s ‘ Dictionary of English Plant Names,’ 
as applied to any species of Senecio. We have here a local name 
solely preserved by a marginal note in an old Flora. 
In former days the ground around Acle and thence to Halvergate 
must have been very wet ; even in the present day the new line 
to Acle was not made without a great many difficulties being 
encountered.
