1821) — “  Locnstae  1 -flowered  ;  flowret  sessile.”  It  is  also, 
probably,  var.  subtilis  Hook.,  but  I  cannot  find  the  correct 
reference  to  the  description.  That  given  by  Asclierson  & 
Graebner  will  not  work.  One  finds  there  (“  Brit.  FI.” 
ed.  4,  36,  1838)- — “  Mr.  Wilson  finds  in  the  wet  sand  of  the 
north  shore  at  Liverpool,  a  var.  not  two  inches  high,  each 
calyx  containing  in  general  but  one  perfect  flower.”  This 
note  is  found,  word  for  word,  in  ed.  I.,  35,  1830.  Mr. 
Marshall’s  plant  appears  to  be,  also,  the  var.  littoralis 
Parn.  and  the  var.  minor  Bab.  Syme  (“  E.  B.”  ed.  3) 
remarks — “  Sometimes,  when  growing  on  wet  sand  by  the 
sea,  the  stems  are  only  two  or  three  inches  high  and  the 
spikelets  are  commoniy  1 -flowered,  but  it  seems  impossible 
to  draw  a  line  of  demarcation  between  this  and  the 
ordinary  form.”  — C.E.S.  This  little  plant  has  had  a  good

Beeby’s  variety,  which  refers  to  the  habit  of  the  plant.
