garden,  Melvich,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  with  the 
supposed  parents,  and  fairly  intermediate  between  them, 
Aug.  2,  1915.  Mr.  F.  J.  Hanbury  and  I  both  thought 
them  to  be  correctly  determined.  Leaves  more  rugose 
than  in  L.  purpureum,  differently  shaped;  flowers  larger, 
of  a  deeper  colour,  and  calyx  different. — Edward  S. 
Marshall.  If  the  supposed  hybrid,  this  plant  is  somewhat 
exceptional  in  producing  seed  freely,  hard  well-formed  and 
well-filled  nuts. — E.F.L. 
L.  purpureum  L..  f.  alba.  Field,  Moorend,  W.  Glos., 
v.c.  34,  Apr.  9,  1915. — Ida  M.  Roper. 
Plantago  maritima  L.  Bank  of  Avon,  Bristol,  W. 
Glos.,  v.c.  34,  June  21,  1915. — Ida  M.  Roper.  Tending 
towards  var.  latifolia  Syme,  but  leaves  hardly  broad 
enough. — E.G.B. 
Amaranthus  retroflexus  L.  Bristol  Harbour,  W.  Glos., 
v.c.  34,  July  20,  1915.— Ida  M.  Roper.  Correct.— A. J.W. 
Salicornia - - .  (Ref.  No.  4215).  Locallv  plentiful 
on  a  sandy  mud-flat,  near  high-water  mark,  Dawlish 
Warren,  S.  Devon,  v.c.  3.  Erect,  much  branched,  about 
three  to  five  inches  high ;  red  or  reddish  in  autumn. 
Branches  erect  or  ascending.  Spikes  short,  stout,  blunt. 
Flowers  in  threes ;  central  round  or  roundish,  much 
larger  than  the  lateral  ones.. — Edward  S.  Marshall.  S. 
ramosissima  Woods. — C.E.M.  Yes,  S.  ramosissima.  The 
great  regularity  of  the  branching  suggests  the  possibility 
of  hybridisation  with  S.  gracillima,  should  that  species  be 
present  in  the  locality. — E.J.S.  [Later] .  I  am  inclined 
to  agree  to  the  name  given,  though  it  is  very  unlike  the 
other  forms  of  S.  ramosissima  which  I  observed  there. 
S.  gracillima  was  not  seen;  but  possibly  it  may  occur. — 
E.S.M. 
S.  dolichostachya  Moss.  (Ref.  No.  4207).  Sandy 
mud-flats,  Dawlish  Warren,  S.  Devon,  v.c.  3,  Oct.  7,  1915. — 
Edward  S.  Marshall.  Yes.— C.E.M.  Quite  typical. —
