those on the ground are frequent at the mouth and by the sides o£ 

 ponds at Wisbeach. The Inula pulicaria grows at Leverington, near 

 Wisbeach. The Salicornia Jierhacea and Stntice reticulata are both 

 very common on the salt marshes below Wisbeach. The Atriplex 

 littoralis is plentiful by the sides of ditches below Wisbeach, but I 

 am afraid it is too far advanced to be of any service. 



" The Ruhia tincforum is plentiful in hedges about Wisbeach where 

 it grows very luxuriantly — -it has not been an object of cultivation in 

 this Neighbourhood for upw.irds of fifty years, and if you think it 

 admissible, I will send you specimens. I am just this moment going 

 to take Mr. Cockfield to see it growing : if I'm back before our mail 

 sets oif will inclose some of it. I think it has as good a claim to a 

 place in your work as some other plants which are termed by the 

 consent of Botanists, British. 



I remain in haste, 

 Yours &c.,

KOTES ON FORFARSHIRE PLANTS. 

 Br C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



Ik July 1912 Mr. E. Gr. Baker joined me for a ten days' holiday 

 in Forfarshire (v.c. 90), and the plants mentioned in the following 

 notes were then met with. One day was spent near Foi'far, where 

 the old station for Eriophorum alpinum was exploi'ed, and another 

 given to " Thrums " and its delightful surroundings. 



The Rev. E. S. Marshall and Mr. Arthur Bennett have helped in 

 the ])reparation of these few notes, and we had the advantage of 

 meeting the late John Knox at Forfar and gained some valuable 

 information from him. * denotes a supposed addition to the county. 



Coclilearia alpina Wats. Head of Canlochen Glen. 



T/ilaspi alpestre L. The plant from the Canlochen rocks has 

 usually (Watson, Compend. Cyb. Brit. 480, 1870) been placed under 

 var. sylvestre (Jord.), but it differs much from the Winch Bridge, 

 Teesdale, form which was verified by Boreau (Baker, N. Yorks. ed. 2, 

 256, 1889) as this variety. 



The Forfar plant, which seems very scarce, as it was in Gardiner's 

 day (Fl. Forfar. 9, 1848), is much more dwarf in habit; the leaves 

 are more " leathery " and of a reddish-glaucous hue, the notch of the 

 silicle is shallower and the style is longer. 



The difficult}' of matching our British plants with named Conti- 

 nental forms has been pointed out by White (Fl. Bristol, 158, 1912), 

 and with this view I thoroughly agree. At the same time, it seems 

 better to place provisionally the Forfar plant under occitaniciim 

 (Jord.) rather than silvestre, as suggested in Watson B. E. C. Report 

 for 1897-8, p. 4.
