18, 1828. — Calyx with deep, ovato-oblong, toothed, acute, 

 spreading segments, reflexed in the margin, with intermediate 

 teeth. Leaves with a single rib, and a long recurved chan- 

 nelled terminal point, into which the margin of the leaf is 

 excurrent. Stem somewhat angular, often furrowed above, 

 with a coarse uneven skin. Lower branches of the panicle 

 brittle at their union with the stem. Anthers yellow. 

 Pollen compressed, rounded or triangular, with three pellu- 

 cid dots. Stigmas rough, with very minute prominent papillae. 

 Petals almost saccate at the extremity, deeply notched. 

 Germen granulated. 



21. Statice spathulata, — Near AberfFraw, August 18, 1828. 

 — Limonium minus. Raii Syn.? The leaves being " bordered 

 down to the root, so as to have really no foot-stalks." v. Engl. 

 FL V. 2. p. 117. — Calyx with plane, ovate, blunt, entire seg- 

 ments, destitute of intermediate teeth. Leaves with three 

 ribs, from the very base, with a small dorsal mucro below 

 the apex, margin of the leaf not excurrent into the mucro. 

 Stem round, with an even skin. Anthers white. Pollen convex 

 on one side, flat or concave on the other, with four or five 

 pellucid dots. Stigma composed of reticulated, not pro- 

 minent, vesicles. Style thickened upward. Panicle usually 

 elongated, (not corymbose as in S. Litnonimn ;) branches of the 

 panicle distichous, the lower ones sometimes abortive, which 

 happens also in S. Limonium. Herbage rather glaucous, not at 

 all so in S. Limonium. Stems usually erect. There are generally 

 about three flowers together, enclosed by two or three 

 bracteas. 



22. Statice reticulata. — French specimen from Dr. Hooker, 

 examined November 30, 1828. — Leaves 3-ribbed at the base, 

 and along the footstalk, which is narrower than in the last. 

 Calyx-segments, I believe, plicate, very broad, toothed, and 

 pointed. Bracteas very broad and obtuse, with a small 

 point, not resembling those in the last species. 



23. Sibbaldia^rocwm&ews. — Ben Lawers, Julyl2, and August 

 17, 1827. — Herbage blackish-green, inclining to glaucous. 

 Stems woody. The pistils and stamens are very variable in
