Also Xanthium from the beach and Pscdera quinqitefolia and 

 other interior plants. 



Both the Prumis and Polygonella occur commonly in the 

 Middle and Pine Barren districts, while the Hudsonia and Lechea 

 are occasional in the Pines. 



The true salt marsh vegetation consists of the following 

 species : 



Triglochin maritimum. Salicornia ambigua. 



Spartina cynosuroides. Dondia americana. 



" patens. " linearis. 



" glabra. Bassia hirsuta. 



Diplachne fascicularis. *Acnida cannabina. 



Puccinellia fasciculata. Tissa oligosperma. 



Distichlis spicata. Oxygraphis cymbalaria. 



Cyperus nuttallii. *Kosteletzkya virginica. 



Eleocharis rostellata. Glaux maritima. 



Fimbristylis castanea. Lilaeopsis linearis. 



Scirpus americanus. Sabatia stellaris. 



" nanus. Gerardia maritima. 



" robustus. Plantago decipiens. 

 Juncus gerardi. " halophila. 



Polygonum proliferum. Solidago sempervirens. 



atlanticum. Aster tenuifolius. 

 Chenopodium rubrum. " subulatus. 



Atriplex hastata. Iva oraria. 



Salicornia europaea. Baccharis halimifolia. 



" bigelovii. Pluchea camphorata. 



Of these Spartina patens, Distichlis spicata, Juncus gerardi, 

 Salicornia europcea, S. bigelovii and S. ambigua make up the bulk 

 of the vegetation on the open marsh, more sandy sjXDts sup- 

 port Cyperus nuttallii, Plantago maritima, Dondia linearis, D. 

 americana, Bassia hirsuta. Polygonum atlanticum, P. proliferum, 

 etc., while along the edges of the creeks and thoroughfares which 

 occur everywhere through the marshes grow Spartina cyno- 

 suroides, Iva oraria and Baccharis h.alimifolia. 



Solidago sempervirens and Atriplex hastata occur in almost 

 any situation except out on the open flat marsh. 



Some of these plants, notably Sabatia stellaris and Koste- 

 letzkya virginica, grow along the border of the "upland", and
