Matricaria maritima, Linn. Stroma, Caithness, on shelves 

 of almost perpendicular rocks overhanging the sea. July, 1899. 

 Coll. A. M. Geldart. Mr. Bennett says " I suppose these 

 specimens may be referred to M. Maritima, tho' I admit I feel 

 some doubt. Our plants want comparing with Linne's types 

 (if existent), and with a series of Scandinavian specimens." — 

 H. D. Geldart. 



Cineraria maritima, Linn. Rocky ground on limestone, 

 below E^ddy Hole Plain, nr. Torquay, S. Devon, v.c. 3, 

 Aug. 1899. I believe this is the French plant. It occurs on 

 the coast of Devonshire, which is opposite to that of 

 Normandy, and the seeds being provided with pappus could 

 readily be blown there by the wind, I should think. It grows 

 in some quantity on the sandy, rather marly soil that covers 

 the limestone rock. It may possibly be a garden escape, but, 

 I should not think very likely. — There is too much of it.— 

 C. Waterfall. Senecio Cineraria. [ = Cineraria maritima, L.) The 

 reasons mentioned above do not appear sufficient for including 

 this species, which is correctly named, as a native of Britain. 

 It does not occur in N. France at all, so that the position of 

 the coast of Normandy, with regard to that of Devon, does 

 not bear upon the question. It has, for a long time been a 

 favorite garden plant, and in this locality has doubtless escaped 

 and become well established. — S. T. Dunn.
