gaps in the range. He, however, compares it with other " southern continental " plants 

 and suspects that its absence from many of the shingle beaches of Jutland may be due 

 to climatic factors. 



The distribution list and the map which is given in Fig. 2 are both incomplete 

 because the appropriate characters are often difficult to discern in herbarium specimens 

 of G. rohertianum and there is still much collecting to be done in all coastal areas except 

 south-eastern England. This is particularly so in Ireland. 



CHANNEL ISLES:

 V.c. 1. W. CORNW. : Coverack, 1910, Fox (Ox.) (Cam.), 1911 (Cam.); Padstow, 1904, Barratt (Cam.); 

 Kynance Cove, 1926, Salmon (B.M.). 



2. E. CORNW. : Par, 1920, Thurston (K). 1929, Medlin (K). 



3. S. DEVON : Berry Head, 1916, Druce (Ox.) (WNH) (Cam.) (B.M.). 1916, Hiern (Ex. Hiem).

 (Cam.). Several of the stations given by Klartin & Eraser (1939) for G. purpureum probably 

 refer to this subspecies. 



4. N. DEVON : Trentishoe, 1843, Griffiths (Cam.) (B.M.); Woody Bay, 1920, Fox (Ox.); Instow 



Burrows, 1882, Ley (Cam.) (B.M.) ; Lynton Foreland, 1917, Barton (B.M.). Records in Martin 

 & Fraser (1939) for Landkey and West Buckland probably refers to this subspecies.

1907, Marshall (B.M.) (Cam.), 1905, Riley (K); Bossington, 1942, Lousley (B.M.). It is prob-

 as does that from Totland in Rayner (1929). 



11. S. HANTS. : Hayling Isl., 1919, Druce (Ox.). Records from Christchurch, Lepe and Hook in 



Townsend (1904) probably refer to this subspecies.

Babington (Cam.); Pagham, Bognor, 1913, Little (Cam.); Lancing, 1872, Joad (K); Shoreham,

 (1899) from near Hythe on the authority of Mr. Duthie. 



25. E. SUFFOLK : Felixstowe, 1888, Hind (Cam.), 1885, 1909, Gray (Cam.). Also (as G. purpureum
