France. It has also been suggested that our plant may be P. Uttorale, Link, 

 noticed but not described in Schrader's Bot. Journ. for 1800, page 54, and 

 referred by Sprengel to P.JiageUure, Bertoloni ; but the description given by 

 Sebastiani and Mauri in the Prodromus Florce Romatice (from Bertoloni's manu- 

 scripts) proves that plant to have woody perennial stems and longish pedun- 

 cles, and they quote as a synonym " P . angustifoUum majus," Barr. Obs. 1141. 

 ic. 546., which is manifestly a very slight variety of P. tnaritimuni. Gussone 

 in his Fl. Sicul. Prodr. says, under P. marifimum, " An P. Uttorale Link En. 

 alt. H. Ber. i. p. 385., quod ad P.fagellare adducitur a cl. Spr. in Sy. Veg. ii. 

 p. 295. potius P. maritimum varietas est ?" 1 may also add, that P.Jlagellare 

 is not described as a maritime plant, and has, according to Meisner, its fruit 

 granulato-striate. It is his var. y. romanum of P. aviculare. Bluff and Fin- 

 gerhuth in their Comp. Fl. Germ. i. 500. refer Link's plant to their "P. avicu- 

 lare ^. Uttorale," and describe it as found " ad litt. mar. baltici"; I should 

 suppose that their plant is only the maritime variety of P. aviculare, and that 

 their reference to Link is erroneous. Meisner refers this plant to P. mari- 

 timum, as a synonym, not even considering it to rank as a variety. 



Between Marazion and Penzance. Mr. Borrer, first noticed by Ray. Port- 

 marnock sands, Dublin. Dr. Taylor. Near Barnaouth, North Wales. 

 Rev. T. Salwey. Between Abermenai and Llanddwyn, Anglesea, the 

 reported place by Dillenius on the authority of Mr. Lhwyd, and on the 

 Killiney sands near Dublin. The Dillenian station at "Brakelsham in 

 Sussex," I am informed by Mr. Borrer has been long since destroyed ijy 

 the sea. O . August, September.
