1. SALICORNIA. 



1. S. Iierhacea {jointed Glasswort), stem herbaceous erect, arti- 

 culations compressed and somewhat thickened upwards notch- 

 ed, spikes cylindrical slightly tapering at the extremity. Lighif, 

 p. 69. E.B. ^415 {S. annua), et t. 2475 (S.procumbens). 



Hab. Salt marshes near the coast, plentiful, Fl. Sept. ©. 



Plant leafless, much branched and jointed ; articulations cylindrical or 

 only a little thickened upwards. Spikes oi fructification latere! ard 

 terminal, their articulations scarcely longer than broad. At the base 

 of each articulation, on two opposite sides, is a cluster of three^oirers, 

 each flower composed of a single turbinate, fleshy perianth, appa- 

 rently quite closed at the top, and pierced, as it were, by the sma)! 

 bi- or trifid stigma and the single or two stamens; v/hen two^ e?.ch 

 appears in succession. 



2 . S. radicans {creeping-rooted Glasswort), stem woody procum- 

 bent and rooting, articulations cylindrical spreading and notch- 



* I here use the term " Calyx" though there is but one covering to the 

 flower, rather than '^single Perianth,'" in opposition to my general rule, be- 

 cause this genus belongs to a natural family whose flowers are furnished 

 both with calyx and corolla ; so that the absence of the latter, in rhi-s iu» 

 stance, seems to be the effect of abortion.
