]S[ati^■e. Rough places on the shore. Not common. August 

 to October. 



Petit Port near the Corbiere. Le Hocq. Pontac. 

 Guernsey. Alderney. Sark. France. 



Distinguished by the fleshy character of the whole plant, 

 the extraordinary development of the lateral offshoots at the 

 expense of the main stem, and the enlarged, rhomboidal 

 sepals. 



4. A. FAEiNOSA Dum. (A. Tobnabeni Tin. A. arbnaria Woods.) 



Native. Sandy shores. Local. August to September. 



Plentiful in St. Ouen's Bay. George Town. Grouville.

Said to be not quite the same as A. laciniata L. 



5. A. poETnLACoiDBs L. (Obione Gjertn.) 



Formerly native, though rare : now extinct. 



" Muddy sea-shores. Not common in Jersey." J. Piquet, 

 tiji- 1870! In his 1896 list he says, " St. Ouen's, rare." There 

 are no muddy sea-shores in St. Ouen's. He has since in- 

 formed me that the plant used to grow near La CoUette, and 

 that it was destroyed by the Harbour Works. In the " Flora 

 Sarnica" " Halimds portulacoides Wallr." is said to have 

 been " common.'' Possibly some confusion with the next 

 species. 

 Guernsey. Alderney ('?). France. 



6. A. Halimiis L. 



Much used for hedges on the coast, as it wiU grow in 

 almost pure sand. Greve d'Azette, St. Ouen's Bay, and 

 elsewhere. It is used for the same purpose in Normandy.
