260 POLYGAMIA— MONOECIA. Atriplex. 



A. angustifolia dentata. Rail Hist. v. 1. 192 ; omitting the syn. of 

 J. Bauhin. 



In waste ground, very rare. 



On the entrance into Battersea field, from Nine Elms. Prof. Mar- 

 tijn, sen. In Mr. Rose's herbarium, probably from Mr. Hudson -, 

 or at least named by his authority. 



Annual. August. 



Stem quite erect, firm, with many upright leafy branches ; panicled 

 and clustered at the top. Leaves alternate, stalked, ovate-lan- 

 ceolate, acute, slightly powdery or scaly ; the uppermost gra- 

 dually narrower, linear-lanceolate and entire j lower ones toothed 

 or sinuated, running down at the base into a bordered footstalk. 

 Clusters terminal, erect, compound, many-flowered ; leafless in 

 the upper part. Fl. in short, dense, rather oblong, heads, or 

 blunt spikes. Valves of the seed-bearing calyx only one third 

 the size of the last, deltoid, acute, tumid ; toothed at the edges ; 

 the disk of both valves beset with numerous, prominent, strong, 

 acute warts, or teeth. Seed orbicular, blackish, like the pre- 

 ceding, but smaller. 



The very copious, small, strongly ^rmed fruit readily distinguishes 

 this plant, and confirms the characters founded on the same parts 

 in the two foregoing species.
