de Melicocq’s “ corollis profonde quinque-partitis,” and Hallier's 
“corolla partita,”’ are alike descriptions a ot names. If it 
should be worth while to give the form a eee. name, none 
could be more appropriate than st es i ae data I proposed 
for a similar variation in Hrica cinerea L. (Journal of Botany, 
1912, p. 315). It may be characterized as iaihaws —

A NEW SALICORNIA VARIETY AND HYBRID. 
By tHe Rev. E. 8. Marsan, M.A., F.L.S. 
1. SALICORNIA DISARTICULATA Moss, n. var. HUMIFUSA.—Flore 
ut in typo, semper solitarii; segmenta in autumno valde pieeiiorpin 
lantia. Habitu multum di zee solo arcte appressa, plus minus 
triangulari-flabellata, fructificans rubella vel rubra. Spice cras-

the ground, more or less triangular-fanshaped, reddish or red, when 
in fruit. Spikes stouter, usually longer (often twice, sometimes 
thrice). 
Exsiccata.— Herb. Marshall, No. 4212. 
Abundant on sandy mud, near high-water — in several Figs 
of Dawlish Warren, v.-c. 3 8. Devon, Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 7, 1915. 
A very striking plant, recalling S. appressa Dumort. in sented 
appearance, but at once distinguishable by its single flowers. It 
varies much in luxuriance; some specimens attain a length of 
eight inches, and are six inches across. The prevailing shape in 
late September and October, is brick-red; but it is ofte ch 
deeper (crimson or blood-red). In this locality the type (new for 
Devon) is very scarce, and apparently always erect; even in early 
October it remains light green or yellowish, except that the 
flowers are reddish brown. 
Dr. Moss, who has not yet seen specimens, writes :—‘ The 
prostrate form of Salicornia disarticulata I have seen in Brittany 
(locally common) and in England (rare). I suspect the first stem 
is killed—eaten by animals or trodden down: if so, the branches 
leff would naturally have smaller alesis I attach little or no 
Importance to colour of glass-worts. I doubt - it is worth 
naming, except sds as a Eee However, in the present
