The Flora of Suffolk, by Rev. W. M. Hind., LL.D. 508 p., Map. 
London: Gurney and Jackson, 1889. 
The gaps in our list of county Floras are rapidly being filled up, and we 
must heartily congratulate Dr. Hind upon the completion of the 
Suffolk Flora, and on the excellent manner in which the work has 
been accomplished. 
The Introduction gives first, a description of the Natural Features 
of Suffolk; second, an Outline of the Geology of the County; third, 
the Climate; fourth, the Rainfall (the latter three being prepared 
by Dr. Wheeton Hind); fifth, the Distribution of the Species in 
Suffolk. This introductory portion occupies thirty-four pages. 
Then follows the flora proper, which adopts the arrangement of 
species employed in the eighth edition of Babington’s “ Manual.” 
Synonyms used in the London Catalogue, or Hooker’s “ Student’s 
Flora ” are generally inserted and printed in italics. For botanical 
purposes the county is divided into five portions, Nos. 1 and 2 being 
almost identical with the West Suffolk of Top. Bot., and 3, 4, and 
5 with the East Suffolk of the same work. The name of the earliest 
recorder is also given; as is reference to the pages in the Manual 
where the species is described, also whether tree, shrub, or herb, its 
duration, character of soil on which it occurs, and the usual flowering 
period. A list of books, MSS., and helpers is prefixed. 
There are a few pages on Palaeontological Botany, giving a list of 
species found, which includes Trapa natans , Salix polaris, S. Myrsinitcs, 
Betula nana, Pinus sp. Pinites succinifer, now absent from the county. 
Eleochuris palustris , Br. (not Linn as given), and Garex paludosa are 
included on the evidence of a single fruit of each species.
