 naissance jusqu'a sa fructification sans se relever jamais. Ses 

 rameaux forment un evantail triangulaire comprime" des deux cotis ; 

 ses entrenoeuds sont cylindriques ; ses epis cylindriques ou monili-

 "8. S. prostrata, herbacea, caule prostrato, ramis trifariis ad- 



scendentibus, spicis cylindricis obtusis apice depressis. 

 "4. S.appressa Nob., herbacea, caule ramisque humifusis ap- 

 pressis e radice trifariam flabellatis ramosissimis, internodiis 

 cylindricis, spicis acutis." 

 These are stated to have the following synonyms : — 

 "1. 8. annua Sm. Engl. Bot. p. 415; S. herbacea Sm. 

 2. S. herbacea L. Suec. p. 1 ; 8. procumbens Sm. Engl. Bot. 



t. 2475 ; 8. herbacea 8. procumbens Babgt. Man. p. 288. 

 8. S. prostrata Pall. Halophyt. p. 8, t. 3. 



4. 8. prostrata y. ? appressa Dmrt. Prodr. p. 23 ; S. herbacea 

 forma moniliformis Crep. Man. ed. 2, p. 276." 



The prevailing glass-wort on Komney Sand, close to the station 

 for 8. appressa, agrees well with the above description of S. stricta. 

 That which I have referred to S. appressa seems to me to answer 

 very closely to the above description of this species, and is quite 

 different from the ordinary prostrate or procumbent forms of our

 out to me by Capt. Wolley Dod. 



Polygonum Baii Bab. "With the last, 16*; scarce and small, 

 but the dry summer and early date (June 28th) may account for 

 this. The name P. Roberti Loisel., according to Professors Babing-

especially on the clay,

Juncus effusus x glaucus (J. diffusus Hoppe). Plentiful near New 

 Romney, towards Dymchurch; also seen about Headcorn, 15, with 

 both parents. Another rush, found near Charing, though very 

 similar, has a shorter and more contracted inflorescence, and 

 appears to be the offspring of conglomeratus and glaucus, which 

 accompany it ; I did not see effusus near. The suggested hybrid 

 may prove to be really not uncommon, but I am unaware of 

 its having been recognised either in this country or abroad.
