CONTRIBUTIONS TO A FLORA OF THE OUTER HEBRIDES 169 



the distribution given, I.e., it occurs in Malta and on the 

 coast of the Black Sea. But the plant, though succulent in its 

 annual growth, becomes after some years almost woody at the 

 base ; and the roots penetrate some distance into the cliffs. 

 At St. Margaret's Bay, East Kent, there was a large plant that 

 I knew for 15 years. It was nearly 2 feet long and quite 

 woody. The sea has since swept it away. The Lewis 

 specimens are almost typical, while the Colonsay ones are 

 more drawn and taller, up to 1 6 inches high. 



SAUSSUREA ALPINA, DC. In No. 3 I gave the height of its occur- 

 rence on the Caithness Cliff at "about 40 feet." But 20 feet 

 is about the altitude.

 from elsewhere in Britain. The peculiar form of the leaves 

 and the dense silky covering are very unusual.
