THE MARITIME FLORA. 



It is by no means as easy as would appear at first thought to 

 separate the truly maritime plants, the halophytes of the strand 

 and the salt marsh from plants of the coastal strip which occur 

 along the edge of the salt marsh where it joins the upland or 

 interior flora. Furthermore, some plants of the latter group, 

 while strictly coastal in New Jersey, do not seem to be so else- 

 where. 



The main divisions of the maritime district are easily recog- 

 nized: (i) the beach, (2) the sand dunes, and (3) the salt 

 marsh.* 



On the beach we have : 



Polygonum maritimum. 

 Atriplex arenaria. 

 Salsola kali. 



Amaranthus pumilus. 



besuvium maritimum. 

 Ammodenia peploides. 

 Cakile edentula. 

 Xanthium echinatum. 



Also' often individuals of Cenchnts, Ammophila, Carex, Oeno- 

 thera and Buphorbia from the dunes. 

 On the dunes occur: 



Panicum amarum. 

 Andropogon littoralis. 

 Cenchrus tribuloides. 

 Ammophila arenaria. 

 Eragrostis pectinacea spectabilis. 

 *Cyperus grayi. 

 Carex silicia. 

 Rumex hastatulus. 



Chenopodium leptophyllum. 



Lathyrus maritimus. 

 *Prunus maritima. 



Euphorbia polygonifolia. 



Hudsonia tomentosa. 



Lechea maritima. 

 *Polygonella articulata. 



Oenothera humifusa. 



* For more minute divisions cf. Harshberger. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 

 1900, 623 et seq., 1902, 642-669. 



A star before a name indicates that the species is not truly or exclusively 

 maritime and has already been discussed in another category.
