THE MARITIME ElyORA. 



It is by no means as easy as would appear at first thought to 

 separate the truly maritime plants, the halophytes of the strand 

 and the salt marsh from plants of the coastal strip which occur 

 along the edge of the salt marsh where it joins the upland or 

 interior flora. Furthermore, some plants of the latter group, 

 while strictly coastal in New Jersey, do not seem to be so else- 

 where. 



The main divisions of the maritime district are easily recog- 

 nized: (i) the beach, (2) the sand dunes, and (3) the salt 

 marsh.* 



On the beach we have : 



Polygonum maritimum. besuvium maritimum. 



Atriplex arenaria. Ammodenia peploides. 



Salsola kali. Cakile edentula. 



Amaranthus pumilus. Xanthium echinatum. 



Also often individuals of Cenchrus, Ammophila, Carex, Oeno- 

 thera and Bnphorhia from the dunes. 

 On the dunes occur: 



Panicum amarum. Chenopodium leptophyllum. 



Andropogon littoralis. Lathyrus maritimus. 



Cenchrus tribuloides. *Prunus maritima. 

 Ammophila arenaria. Euphorbia polygonifolia. 



Eragrostis pectinacea spectabilis. Hudsonia tomentosa. 



♦Cyperus grayi. Lechea maritima. 



Carex silicia. *Polygonella articulata. 

 Rumex hastatulus. Oenothera humifusa. 



* For more minute divisions cf. Harshberger, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 

 igoo, 623 et seq., 1902, 642-669. 



A star before a name indicates that the species is not truly or exclusively- 

 maritime and has already been discussed in another category.
