In my way from Cambridge to Bottisham this morning, I visited Teversham Moor, formerly a rich habitat for plants, but now so completely drained as to afford hardly anything. Relhan mentions one or two of the Droseras as growing there which was what I more particularly wanted to find, but the land is now so dry, that in my opinion those plants can no longer grow there, nor did I discover a single specimen.
