 sea-coast species. Smith {E. Fl. iv. 258) refers Plukenet's plant to his 

 A. fatula, var. 7, which {fide Syme) is, according to his herbarium, A. 

 Babingtonii. Mr. Hind considers his plants to be this species, but it 

 is likely that both he and Doody may have mistaken forms of A, 

 hastata for it.)
