Salicornia pachystachya. Bunge, is described as allied to S. 

 herbacea, L., and the Aldabra plant might well be the latter; 

 introduced perhaps in ballast. I have seen no other specimen 

 •of the genus from the Madagascar or Mascarene regions. 



Loranthaceae.

Fox 241 (with immature fruits and leaves) and Dupont 10 * 

 ^leaves and branches only) probably belong to this species.
