put under O. c@rulea Vill. as a doubtful variety. In many floras the 
anthers are said to be bearded at the summit, but bearded and 
glabrous anthers may be found on the same plant, and even in the 
same flower(!), and the character drawn from the shape . the 
corolla-lobes seems to me to be quite unsatisfactory. O. arenaria 
Borkh. should doubtless disappear from the next edition of the 
London Catalogue. It does not occur in Normandy, Brittany, or 
Lester. 
Atriplex littoralis L. On the rubbish-heaps, brought from the 
metropolis, and deposited near the canal between Drayton and Iver, 
in Buckinghamshire, for which it is a new county record. It also 
grew, but less frequently, in- Middlesex, in similar situation, 
October, 1892. A curious casual, for which it is rather difficult to 
guess the origin.—G. Ciariper Druce.

The spikelets are two-flow ered, and twice as large as in type. I 
kindness we are so much indebted, named it as above. It is probably 
the same as the plant found by Mr. Hanbury; see Scottish Naturalist
