guished from the next by the form of its open perigone, and 1. 
usually entire. See a detailed account of the British species of 
Atriplex in Trans. Bot. Soc. Ediii. i. 1. pi. 1, 2. — Sea-coast. 
A. VII.— IX. 
2. A. marina (L.) ; st. erect, I. ovate -lanceolate irregularly 
toothed or rarely entire, perigone of the fr. obcor •date-triangular 
obtuse toothed tubercled on the back closed. — St. 80. 1. — Distin- 
guished by its toothed 1. and form of closed perigone. These 2 
never have lobed 1. like the succeeding species. — Sea-coast. A. 
VII.— IX. 
3. A. angustifolia (Sm. !) ; st. erect or prostrate, 1. lanceolate 
entire, the lower I. with 2 ascending lobes from a wedgeshaped 
base, perigone of the fr. rhomboidal acute entire tvith ascending 
prominent acute lateral angles smooth on the back and longer 
than the fr. and collected into nearly simple interrupted spikes, 
seeds smooth and shining. — E. B. 1774. A. patula Wahl., Koch 
in St. 79- 5. — Spikes wandlike with distant clusters of fl., valves 
of the perigone of the fr. reticulated. — Common. A. VII. — X. 
4. A. erecta (Huds.) ; st. mostly erect with ascending branches, 
lower 1. ovate-oblong with 2 ascending lobes from a wedgeshaped 
base irregularly sinuate-dentate, upper 1. lanceolate entire, peri- 
gone of the fr. rhomboidal denticulate acute more or less muricated 
on the back and scarcely longer than the fr. and collected in 
branched dense many -flowered spikes, seeds smooth and shining. 
— E. B. 2223. ! Koch in St. 79. 6. — Distinguished by its 1., com- 
pound densely-flowered spikes and smooth shining seeds. — Com- 
mon upon cultivated land. A. VII. — X. 
5. A. prostrata (Bouch.:) ; st. procumbent with procumbent 
branches, I. opposite, lower I. hastate -triangular with 2 horizon- 
tally spreading lobes slightly toothed or entire, intermediate with 
2 ascending lobes from a wedgeshaped base, uppermost 1. small 
lanceolate entire, perigone of the fr. cordate-triangular slightly 
toothed or entire scarcely longer than the fr. collected into 
interrupted slightly branched spikes, seeds smooth and shining. — 
A. oppositifolia Koch in St. 79- 9. — The most marked distinctive 
characters of this plant, with which I am but slightly acquainted, 
appear to be the curious 1., the perigones, and the fl. in separate 
clusters. It may possibly be a maritime form of A. patula. — 
Sea-coast, rare? A. VIII. IX. 
6. A. patula (L. !) ; st. mostly erect with ascending branches, 
lower I. ovate-hastate with 2 horizontally spreading lobes denti- 
culate, upper 1. lanceolate nearly entire, perigone of the fr. tri- 
angular-rhomboidal nearly entire slightly muricated on the back 
longer than thefr. and collected into nearly simple interrupted spikes, 
seeds opaque rough. — E. B. 936.! A. latifolia Koch in St. 79- 7- 
— Cultivated and waste ground, common. A. VI. — X.
