 land to New Jersey]. 

 Arenaria peploides. — Willis 12. — Britton 64. 

 Honkenya peploides. — Knieskern 9. 

 Ammodenia peploides Keller and Brown 143. 



Sea beaches above high tide all along the coast. Apparently 

 much less common than formerly, and extinct in the vicinity of 

 many of the most populous resorts. The large tufts or cushions, 

 and the sand which they collect, form conspicuous objects along 

 the beach. Prof. Fernald has shown that our plant is different 

 from the more northern form, but if we recognize the genus 

 Ammodenia as separable from Arenaria, which he does not do, 

 we must use Rafinesque's name, maritima, for the southern form. 



Fl. — Early May to early June. 



Maritime. — Sandy Hook, Asbury Park, Deal, Mantoloking (McK), Pt. 

 Pleasant, Manasquan, Barnegat City (L), Tucker's (L), Spray Beach (L), 

 St. Albans (L), Ship Bottom (L), Atlantic City, Ocean City, Stone Harbor, 

 Anglesea, Cape May (S).
