Bull, Soc. Fr, tome 15, 174 (1868), according to Lloyd, Flore de 
U’ Ouest de la France, ed. 4, 292 (1886); but I am inclined to think, 
rom the name, it may really be Woods’ lignosa, but I have seen no 
specimens. Hooker and Arnott, Brit. Fl. ed. 8, 366 (1860), remark

does so, but he did not understand radicans, or had not seen it 
growing ; if he had, he certainly would not have done so, the whole 
am. I have there found radicans on hard mud—so hard that it 
was very difficult to get characteristic specimens. Though lignosa 
(1797 ; I wonder what this is?), Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. et Helv. 
ed. 2, ii. 693 (1844), says: ‘9. herbacea B pachystachya, spicis duplo 
crassioribus: S. radicans Sm. Engl. Bot. no. 1691, saltem ex speci- 
mine a Woodsio ad Sonderum missa. Hance ad mare balticum legit 
Detharding.” Now Detharding, in his Consp. Fl, Megal. p. 4 (1828) 
remarks: ‘A notable form occurs on the island of Poehl! The 
true plant as radicans, as he Says, ‘vere perennis,’ ete. The true 
rane in.’ 
S. fruticosa 3 radicans W : 
808: ‘Ad littora oceani pr. Cobus Galliciez, Lange.’ And Richter 
accepts ‘Angl. Gall. Hisp.’’ I much doubt the Denmark record. 
I now believe that we must consider Woods’ plant as a subspecies.

What we have to do is to find out how Woods’ forms are repre- 
sented on the Continent; surely we are better able to do this than 
Germans.” Mr. Bennett's specimen noticed above is the only 
rooting one that I have seen out of a large number examined. At 
Thorney, near Emsworth, where wether abounds on the shingly 
west and south shores, I found sey plan wing in soft mud, 
but displaying no tendency to root—just pritgintet te of his ex- 
perience at Shoreham with S. radicans.”—Ep,
