cate in the lower leaves. Pod rhomboid-ovoid, attenuated both at 
the base and apex. 
On sandy and muddy seashores. Not uncommon. In the South 
of England it is certainly more plentiful than C. eu-officinalis; but 
I have never seen it in Scotland, though I have often searched for 
it there. It is, however, reported from many of the counties on 
good authority. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Annual or Biennial. Spring. 
This plant is very closely allied to C. alpina, being about the 
same size, with the stems 3 to 9 inches long. The stem leaves, 
however, are more angulated, often somewhat resembling those of 
the Ivy, anda greater number of them stalked. The pod being ovoid, 
not globular, will always distinguish it from C. officinalis. I can see 
no difference between the root leaves of this plant and tbe last, 
though they are sometimes said to be hastate, probably from the 
lower stem leaves being mistaken for root leaves after the decay of 
the latter, as suggested by Dr. Walker Arnott.

Root slender. Stem with a few ascending branches at the 
top. Leaves fleshy; the radical ones on long stalks, oblanceolate, 
oblong, oval, or ovate, attenuated or rarely rounded (but never 
cordate ?) at the base, the margins entire or slightly waved; stem 
leaves toothed or nearly entire ; the upper ones sessile, rhomboidal- 
oblong or strap-shaped, semi-amplexicaul. Pod obovate or oval, 
flattish above, convex beneath, slightly tapering towards the base, 
and generally obtuse at the apex, much compressed horizontally ; 
valves distinctly reticulated; replum four to six times as long as 
broad; style about one-fourth the length of the pod. 
On muddy salt marshes, and between the stones of embank- 
ments by the sea, and especially on the shores of tidal rivers. 
Common in England, but apparently very rare in Scotland, where 
Dr. Walker Arnott mentions it as growing on the banks of the 
Cree, in Wigtonshire. It has been reported from several other Scotch
