500 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



varieties simply, by their more dentate leaves ; the few 

 exceptions being obvious errors of name, the specimens 

 properly belonging to A. Babingtonii or to Chenopodium 

 album. Thus, Atriplex erecta may be struck out of 

 volume second; its distribution there given being merged 

 under that of A. patula (angustifolia). The north limit of 

 the latter includes Orkney, on authority of Mr. Syme. 

 Much error and confusion may arise through this transfer 

 of the name 'patula' from one species (hastata) to another 

 (angustifolia) ; and it may be better either to use the 

 synonym of A. angustifolia in local lists, or to add some 

 explanation such as may render it clear to readers whe- 

 ther the name of ' i^atula ' intends the species ' hastata ' 

 or the species ' angustifolia.'

The north limit may be traced across Orkney, on au- 

 thority of Mr. J. T. Syme.

The north limit of this plant also may be traced into 

 Orkney, on the authority of Mr. J. T. Syme. 



930. Salicornia radicans, vol. ii. p. 331. 



It will be safer to exclude the province of Peninsula 

 [1] from the area of this species, while it rests on the un- 

 confirmed authority of Sole.

Orkney may be indicated in the north limit for this 

 species, on authority of Mr. J. T. Syme.

Perhaps the provinces of the Peninsula and Channel 

 should be added to the area; although they remain 

 at present too uncertainly recorded for unhesitating reli- 

 ance. Mr. Pascoe marks the name of this species as one 

 reported to occur in Cornwall, though not observed 

 in that county by himself. In Phytologist, iii. p. 763,
