and Oats. Stoke by NaA'land. - 10 July, 1744. [Though tliejeaves 

 are pinnatifid, the plant is C. segetuvi L., i. e. 1 in 11. S. 3., and not 

 2., which is Plukenet's Glastonbury plant with smaller flower-heads, 

 which Smith (Engl. Flora iii. 451) says no one else has found.]

 at Harwich in Herb. Sloane 54. 98. Kay's comments (Syn. 3. 189) 

 are worth reproducing : — 



" Absinthii maritimi latiore folio speciem quondam in insula Merseia 

 prope Colcestriam invenit D. Dale. An Plukenetianse prtedictic 

 eadem sit, an potius Absinthio Seriphio Gallico C. S. i. e. Seripliio 

 Narbonensi Park- Seriphio tenuifolio maritime Narbonensi J. B. 

 dubitat. Ex sententia D. Dale eadem est cum Absinthio Seriphio 

 Germanico C. B. Pin. 139 . . . An autem a vulgari maritimo 

 specie differat, merito dubium videtur. In Absinthio sane mari- 

 timo maxima est varietas," . . . .] 



A SALINA "VVilld. ? Absinthium Seriphium tenuifol. marin. 

 Narbonensi J. B. iii. 177. P. S. 3. 189. 5. Mersey. [This is appa- 

 rently the form said by Dillenius {loc. cit.) to have been "found by 

 Mr. Dale at Harwich, on the Marsh-banks on the West side of the 

 Town, and in Mersey Island." Smith (Engl. Flora, iii. 408-9) 

 makes the preceding form, A. onaritima y and identifies this with 

 A. (jallica Willd. Newbould, in Gibson's Flora says : — " These 

 ])]ants may be good species, as Smith on reconsideration, believed. 

 Dale, one of the most accurate early British botanists, distinguished 

 three." Babington makes gallica a variety of maritima ; Hooker's 

 Students Flora dismisses the subject with the opinion that gallica 

 '• is not distinguishable as a well-marked variety, either by its more 

 compact habit or erect heads."]
