278 MISS MARIETTA PALLIS ON THE 
My thanks are due to a number of specialists who very kindly identified 
plants, viz.:—Mr. A. Bennett, Utricularia and Potamogeton; Mr. H. N. 
Dixon, the mosses of the delta of the Danube, and Mr. J. W. H. Johnson, 
the mosses of the Norfolk Broads; Mrs. Gregory, Viola; Mr. James Groves, 
the Characeæ of the delta, and the late Mr. Henry Groves, the Characeze 
of the Norfolk Broads; the Rev. E. F. Linton, Saliz ; Dr. €. E. Moss, 
Ranunculus ($ Batrachium) and Salicornia ; Mr. C. E. Salmon, Statice, and 
Mr. A. J. Wilmott, Atriplex and Fraxinus; also the Staff at the British 
Museum (Nat. Hist.) and at Kew. I wish to thank Dr. C. E. Moss and 
Mr. A. J. Wilmott in particular for much help with the general naming. 
As regards new records for Rumania and the Dobrogea, I have consulted 
‘Grecescu *, Brandza Т, and Рама. Ifa plant was not mentioned in these 
works, I have taken it to be new for these places. Below I give a list of 
these new records. For the addition of Utricularia minor, Linn., and 
Scirpus littoralis, Schrad., to the Rumanian list, Mr. P. Enculeseu and I 
are jointly responsible. 
The symbols denoting frequency (within the association) I have borrowed 
from Mr. Tansley $. They are:— 
d=dominant, ld zlocal dominant, lsd = locally sub-dominant, a= abundant, 
la=locally abundant, f=frequent, o=occasional, rz rare, vr= very rare.

|| Around the channel of Filipoiu (the Balta of Brăila) I found the Lipovan fishermen 
making tea with this plant. I was informed that Mentha is often used for the same 
purpose.
