PLANTAGO CORONOPUS, LINN. 93 



* In Great Britain, recorded by Mr. W. H. Beefy, from Yell, 

 Shetland. 



In the Natural History Museum, S. Kensington, there are speci- 

 mens from near New Romney, Kent, Coll. F. D. Parker, and 

 St. David's Head, Pembrokeshire, Coll. H. N. Ridley, which must 

 be referred to this variety. In the Kew Herbarium there is a 

 specimen from Plymouth Bancli, probably this variety.

4. MARITIMA, Gren. and Godr., Fl. Fr., Tom. II., p. 722. 

 Leaves carnose, smooth or ciliate, linear lanceolate pinnatifid 



rachis broad, 3-nerved, segments linear, peduncles erect.

5. INTEGRATA, Gren. and Godr., I.e. 

 P. Coronopus, var. simplex. Dene. 



Leaves carnose, linear, acuminate subentire, scarcely dentate, 

 ciliate or smooth, rachis sub 3-nerved, peduncles slender erect. 



* Mr. Beeby also gathered on sea cliffs, Ollaberry, in the Shetland, an 

 interesting plant, which looks like very luxuriant pygmcea. 



t There is a slight error on page 732 of M. Decaisne Monograph, which 

 is liable to mislead, under var. /3. Columnae of P. Coronopus. The first 

 synonym should be P. Columnoe, Gouan, and not P. Cornuti, Gouan.
