(Moquin, I.e.), " procumbens vel ascendens hirta aspera viridescens, 

 alis dilatatis vix coloratus. (S* Kali L.) " 



Grenier & Godron (PL de France, iii. 32) complicate matters 

 by retaining 5. Tragus L., and placing under it S. Kali y tenui- 

 folia Moq. 



Keichenbach (FI. Germ. Excurs. iii. 583, 1832) may be 

 consulted as to the forms of 8. Kali, and also Koch (Syn. 

 Fl. Germ, et Helv. ed. 3, ii. 521, 1857), who bases his varieties 

 upon differences in the perigonium, and ignores hairiness or leaf 

 form. 



Eichter (PI. Europ. ii. 165, 1899) gives the following synonymy 

 for S. Kali L. var. Tragus (L.). Moq. : 



8. Tragus L. Spec. PL ed. ii. p. 322 (1763). 



ft spinosa Lam. FL Fr. iii. p. 240 (1778). 



8. Kali f. glabra Dethard. Consp. Fl. Megalop. p. 25 (1828). 



S. Kali (5 brevimarginata Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. ed. ii. p. 693 



(1844). 

 S. controversa Todaro, Fl. Sic. Exs. n. 1088. 

 S. Kali j8 calvescens Gren. et Godr. FL Fr. iii. p. 31 (1855). 

 8. Kali b. marginata Celak. Prodr. Fl. Bohm. p. 155 (1871). 



The extensive distribution given does not include Britain, but 

 embraces France, Holland, and Germany. 



This note may call attention to the fact that S. Kali is a plant 

 that shows interesting variations, and I hope that British botanists, 

 when gathering Salicornias (to which a good deal of attention has 

 been given lately), will not omit to examine and report upon the 

 neighbouring Salsolas. 



S- Kali var. Tragus will probably be found to occur in other 



places upon our shores and in various herbaria. 



SHORT NOTES. 



Gymnadenia x Le Grandiana G. Camus. — In this Journal for 

 1899 (p. 360) I drew attention to a plant found by me on the 

 chalk escarpment north of Sevenoaks, which appeared to Mr. F. J. 

 Hanbury, as well as to myself, to be a hybrid between Gymnadenia 

 conopsea and Orchis maculata. In the Journal for 1902 (p. 297) 

 the Rev. E. F. Linton mentions specimens in his herbarium from 

 Bangor and Oswestry which he identifies with this hybrid. I am 

 also informed that a similar plant has been found in the extreme 

 north of Scotland, the Orchis parent in this case being 0. maculata 

 subsp. ericetorum Linton. This year, having obtained three speci- 

 mens of the Sevenoaks plant in a living state, I took them to the 

 Botanical Department of the British Museum, where I was enabled 

 to consult what had been published on the subject. The plant 

 was described and named by M. E. G. Camus in Bull. Soc. Bot. 

 de France, xxxvii. 215 (1890), in an account of plants found by him 

 at Neuvy-sur-Barangeon (Cher), almost in the centre of France. 

 He describes two new hybrids, one being x Orchis Sausaiana (O.
