Dr. Bromfield who at first appeared to suppose this 

 species truly wild, subsequently became satisfied that it 

 had been introduced by cultivation into the Isle of Wight.

 arenaria.") 



In so far as the Atriplex laciniata of English botanists 

 ^^T^"^ is synonymous with the A. arenaria (Woods) of Babing- 



ton's Manual, third edition, I have seen examples only 

 from the coasts of Essex, Ayr, and probably Sutherland ; 

 that from the last being very young, not even showing 

 flowers. The distribution of " A. laciniata," as sketched 

 from records, on page 323 of volume second, belongs 

 rather to the plant considered A. rosea by Mr. Babington, 

 and re-named A. Babingtonii by Mr. Woods ; but it 

 will requu'e to be extended by uniting with it also the 

 distribution of A. rosea or Babingtonii, as given on the 

 same page.

 By uniting together the localities on record for this 



plant and the usually so-called A. laciniata, but excluding 

 the few stations that are known or supposed to belong to 

 A. arenaria, we shall have for this species an area that 

 may be designated " general " with great probability of 

 truth. Its north limit will also include Orkney, confirmed 

 for A. Babingtonii by Mr. J. T. Syme, and probably in- 

 tended for the same plant, under name of A. laciniata, hy 

 Dr. P. Neill. The provincial estimate of course will 

 become 18, if general.
