Native. Littoral. On the shores of England, the in- 

 curved and straight forms pass into each other bj' grada- 

 tions so regular and gradual as to prohibit any clear 

 division between them. But I have never seen in Britain 

 those very short, somewhat subulate, thicker spikes, such 

 as are produced on the southern coast of Europe. Ac- 

 cording to Dr. R. Graham, the " recurved form " has been 

 found by Mr. Wallich, on ballast-heaps, at St. David's, 

 Fifeshu'e, " probably introduced." Inverkeithing, in the 

 same county, on authority of Dr. Andrew Robertson, has 

 been also reported for one of the forms.
