RARE BOTANICAL PLANTS, FOUND IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF YARMOUTH. For the following copious Botanical List of Rare Plants, to be found in the vicinity of Yarmouth, and within the space described in this Volume, I beg to acknowledge my obligations to DAWSON TURNER, Esq. by whose permission I have extracted them from the Norfolk and Suffolk Divisions of the Third Volume of The Botanist's Guide through England and Wales, published by himself and LEWIS WESTON DILLWYN, Esq. F. R. S. and L. S. with Mr. Turner's interleaved additions. ON THE NORFOLK SIDE OF YARMOUTH. SALICORNIA radicans. Near Yarmouth, and by the river at Gorleston. CHARA hispida. Not uncommon near Yarmouth. flexilis. Ditch at Caister, near ditto. SCHOENUS Mariscus. About St. Olave's bridge, and abundantly in the reach of marshes between Bungay and Beccles. SCIRPUS multicaulis. Plentiful about Yarmouth, and not uncommon on the wet heaths in the neighbourhood. ALOPECURUS bulbosus. Salt marshes round Yarmouth frequent. However different this plant and A. geniculatus may appear in general habit and at first sight, it is by no means easy to find any characters of specific distinction between them. Mr. Turner has attended to this subject for some years, and inclines to the opinion that A. bulbosus is only a variety dependent upon its place of growth. AIRA canescens. On Yarmouth denes, particularly by the south battery, and on the sand hills at Caister abundantly. POA bulbosa. On Yarmouth denes every where. Mr. Turner says, "It is far from extraordinary that this grass, which forms the principal part of the herbage of our denes, should so long have escaped the notice of botanists, for it bears its flowers early in May, very soon after which it withers, and in July no traces of stems or leaves are to be found; but the little bulbous roots are, during the whole summer, blown about in great quantities upon the surface of the ground, or with the loose sand." ELYMUS arenarius, At Caister, near Yarmouth, and thence on the sand hills along the coast for many miles plentifully, but very rarely bearing flowers. HORDEUM maritimum. Abundant in marshes by the river side at Yarmouth. CENTUNCULUS minimus. Filby heath, very near the water. RUPPIA maritima. Abundant in the ditches of the salt marshes about Yarmouth. TILLÆA muscosa. Yarmouth denes, especially about the whale's jaw bones. ANCHUSA Sempervirens. By the road side between Yarmouth and Bungay, plentifully. VIOLA lactea. Common on the denes about Yarmouth. CHENOPODIUM olidum. Every where about Yarmouth, under the walls, and among the dung hills on the denes. ficifolium. About Yarmouth. botryoides. Marsh ditches and waste places about Yarmouth. BUPLEURUM tenuissimum. Borders of Braydon, near Yarmouth. SIUM latifolium. Ditches at Acle, by the side of the road between Yarmouth and Norwich plentiful, and elsewhere in the county not uncommon. OENANTHE pimpinelloides. Salt marshes about Yarmouth. Cicuta virosa. Not uncommon about Yarmouth, and near Filby Broad. MYOSURUS minimus. Fields at Ormesby. A weed in gardens about Yarmouth. FRANKENIA lævis. Moist parts of Yarmouth denes, near the ferry, on the edges of the ditches. RUMEX maritimus. Not uncommon about Yarmouth and Acle. ALISMA ranunculoides.
