IT having been determined to print additional lists of the Fauna and Flora of our County, to bring those already published up to the present date at the close of the third volume of the Society's 'Transactions,' the following list is presented as containing all the additions known to the compiler. Among them will be found two species new to Great Britain,-Naias marina, discovered by Mr. Arthur Bennett, F.L.S., in Hickling Broad; and Carex trinervis, collected some years since in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth, probably at Caistor, by Mr. Hampden G. Glasspoole, and recently identified by Mr. Bennett. Omitting the genera Rubus, Rosa, and Salix, in which no two authorities seem able to agree as to what forms should be considered entitled to rank as species, the following indigenous species have been added to the list:-Ranunculus Lenormandi, Stellaria nemorum, Geranium rotundifolium, Lythrum hyssopifolia, Enanthe fluviatilis, Erigeron canadense, Veronica spicata, Statice binervosa, Polygonum mite, Rumex pratensis, Gagea lutea, Carex ericetorum, Equisetum variegatum, Chara tomentosa, polyacantha, and aspera. Besides these, Hypericum hircinum, Potentilla norvegica, Crepis setosa, Linaria purpurea, Stachys annua, Euphorbia esula, Bromus maximus, madritensis, and tectorum, though they have certainly *The lists to which the present list is supplemental are, "Flowering Plants and Ferns," Section I. and II. (Trans. of the Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. ii. pp. 74–110, and pp. 229–242), and "Norfolk Naiadaceæ and Characeæ" (vol. iii. pp. 379-383). occurred can hardly be considered native, though some of them may be pretty firmly established in their localities. The remaining entries refer to sub-species, or varieties, or are given as extending the distribution of species further through the four divisions of the county, or in a very few instances as confirmations of previously published distribution. Callitriche autumnalis is erased from the list as a probable error; also Rumex aquaticus, from the extreme improbability of a species of distinct northern distribution not otherwise occurring south of Yorkshire being found in the county; no dried specimen of it is known to exist, nor can the entries recording it now be verified. I have specially to thank Mr. Arthur Bennett, the Rev. E. F. Linton, and Dr. Lowe for sending notes, and reading over and correcting these additions. |
