208 COMPOSIT^E. 



on a damp rock near Worsewell, rather sparingly, 1875 ; a plant 

 looking like this also occurs on an inaccessible rock nearer 

 Revelstoke Church. 

 In an old Hortus Siccus, published by ' Wm. Paine, Botanist,' with the 

 date 1732, I have seen a small flowering specimen of this plant, labelled, 

 SSea Flealjane with a Samphire Leafe from Whitesand in Cornwall.' 

 There are two places so named, and whether this refers to the one in 

 District ii., or to that near Land's End, I cannot say. 

 First record : Jacob, 1835.
