for  record.  The  site  where  this  plant  has  been  known  for 
ten  or  twelve  years  to  hold  its  own  is  being  rapidly 
absorbed  by  building  operations  on  one  side  and  “  Urtica” 
on  the  other. — W.  Bell. 
Teucrium  Botrys  L.  On  chalk,  Chipstead,  Surrey, 
v.c.  17,  Aug.  14,  1909.  A  very  interesting  discovery  of 
Mr.  C.  E.  Britton’s,  nicely  filling  up  a  gap  in  its  distri¬ 
bution  in  Surrey  between  Croydon  and  Box  Hill.  Has 
anyone  seen  it  in  its  Bookbam  locality  (FI.  Surrey,  p.  176) 
in  anything  like  recent  years? — C.  E.  Salmon. 
Plantago  Coronopus  L.,  var.  Leasowe,  Cheshire, 
v.c.  58,  June,  1907. — E.  &  H.  Drabble.  Dwarfed  perhaps 
by  situation,  but  not,  I  think,  a  variety. — E.F.L. 
Herniaria  ciliata  Bab.  Near  Lizard  Point,  W.  Corn¬ 
wall,  v.c.  1,  Sep.  1,  1909.— Coll.  R.  H.  Goode.  Comm.  G. 
Goode.  Correct. — E.S.M. 
Scleranthus  perennis  L.  Mildenhall,  W.  Suffolk,  v.c. 
26,  June  26,  1907,  and  Sept.  13,  1909. — A.  J.  Crosfield. 
Yes. — E.S.M.  &  E.F.L. 
Amaranthus  Blitum  L.  Lindfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14, 
Oct.  9,  1909. — R.  S.  Standen.  Not,  I  think,  Blitum ,  which 
should  have  a  non-leafy  terminal  spike  besides  smaller 
axillary  clusters  of  flowers ;  nor  albus,  which  has  bracts 
and  perianth  more  spiny,  and  fruit  half  the  size.  It  may 
be  A.  silvestris  L.,  the  description  of  which  it  seems  to 
fit,  but  I  have  no  examples  to  compare  it  with. — C.E.S. 
This  is  Amaranthus  silvestris  Desf.  It  belongs  to  Koch’s 
Second  Section,  in  which  the  fruit  has  circumscissile 
dehiscence.  It  is  distinguished  from  A.  Blitum  L.  by  its 
more  erect  habit,  and  its  acute  or  sub-acute  upper  leaves. 
In  A.  Blitum  the  leaves  are  blunt  or  emarginate  and 
mucronate. — A.  B.  Jackson  and  T.  A.  Sprague. 
Atriplex  littoralis  L.,  var.  marina  (L.).  Herne  Bay, 
E.  Kent,  v.c.  15,  July,  1909. — W.  R.  Sherrin. 
Salicornia  annua  Sm.  (—  S.  stricta  Du  Mort.).  (1) 
Mouth  of  River  Nene,  S.  Lines.,  v.c.  53,  Oct.  11,  1909. — 
C.  E.  Moss.  Yes.  My  specimen  is  typical,  though  small. 
— E.S.M.  Right. — E.F.L.  (2)  Bosham  Creek,  W.  Sussex, 
v.c.  13,  Oct.  5,  1909. — R.  S.  Standen.  Correct.  I  have 
seen  it  abundantly  about  Bosham. — E.S.M.
