be included under this name in England; one being the “ true 
blue” species; the other being a variety of arvensis, the flowers of 
which are purplish-blue in colour, but otherwise not differing from 
those of the red-flowered phenicea; this latter varying also into 
pinky white and pale lilac varieties. 
59, PLUMBAGINACES. 
Armeria (maritima) planifolia, E. B. 3. 
Province - 15. Highlands; H.C. Watson, cited in E. B. vii. 157. 
Ambiguity. I should prefer this held uncertain as a British plant, 
for the present. In 1841, I brought an drmeria from the High- 
lands, probably from some hill near Dalwhinnie or Dalnacardoch, 
as something apparently distinct from A. maritima; after which it 
was left several years almost unnoticed in my garden. I cannot 
feel sufficiently assured that no transfer of peg-label had been made 
during those years by the gardener; this being a source of error 
which I have experienced much difficulty in guarding against. The 
hoe or rake catches a peg and draws it out of the ground; the 
gardener sees it loose among weeds or leaves, sticks it in again 
somewhere, and too often does so by sheer guess at best. 
Armeria maritima, pubescens, scotica, duriuscula. 
Provinces. .? Bab. Man. editions 8 to 6. 
Ambiguities. These segregates of Armeria maritima are unknown 
to myself, and were left unnoticed by Dr. Boswell Syme, in the 
third edition of English Botany. 
Statice tatarica, Linn. 
Province - 2. By a misnomer of S. bahusiensis. 
Error. Cyb. ii. 305. Where originally reported ? 
Statice (Limonium) pyramidalis, Syme, in E. B. 38. 
Provinces 1234----910. “5. serotina, Gr. & Godr.” 
Syn. 897. Dr. Boswell Syme gives only Kent, Sussex, and Dorset 
for this segregate. I do not see how to separate his Kent speci- 
mens from others in my herbarium received from Somerset, Norfolk, 
Chester, and York. 
Statice (binervosa) intermedia, Syme, in E. B. 3. 
Provinces ---4-67. Norfolk. Glamorgan. Carnarvon. 
Syn. 899. Dr. Boswell Syme remarks that this passes insensibly 
into our type form of binervosa, which is the occidentalis of Lloyd. 
Statice (binervosa) Dodartii, Gir. 
Provinces - 2-4. Dorset? Norfolk ? 
Syn. 899. Ambiguity. This and the preceding one bear about 
the same relation to occidentalis, as it is usually seen in England, 
that Limonium var. genuina bears to its segregate var. pyramidalis. 
But some uncertainty about the habitats remains to be cleared up.
