Salicoenia L.; — " Blunt " and " acute," used to describe the 
apex of the spike, are used comparatively rather than in the 
usual sense ; unbranched forms of the most branched species 
occur and specimens with merely cotyledons, a single sterile 
segm., and one fertile, may produce good seed. 
* Perennial, shrubby. 
1. S. perenjiis Mill, emend. Moss & E. J. Salisb. ; dwarf 
shruhhy growing in tussocks, ster. segm. dark green fadmg to 
brown or red very concave at top, basal ones keeled, term, 
spikes cylindrical short blunt, fert. segm. (3 — 5 x 3 — 4 mm.) 
about 8, fl. 3 nearly equal, hairs on seeds curved (not coiled) 
rather stouter than in the other species. — a. radicans (Sm.) 
Moss k E..J.S. ; *S'. perennis Mill. ; shoot leaving the ground 
by numerous stems and spreading centrifugally, branches with 
numerous rootlets near the base. — ^3. lignosa (Woods) Moss 
shoot with a single (rarely more) main stem and growth 
mainly unilateral, branches .not rooting. — Landward sandy 
margins of salt marshes. P. VIII.-IX. E. 
* * Annual, herbaceous. 
2. S.dolichostachya Mosa; erect or decumbent much branched 
disorderly, ster. segm. green or greenish-yellow long (to 
4 — 5 X 5 mm.) all spikes very long 8 — 16 cm. tapering blunt 
with 15 — 30 fert. segm. often branched, fl. 3 equal lateral ones 
quite or nearly separated by central one. — Lower levels of muddy 
salt marshes, muddy gravel of foreshores. A. VIII.-IX. E.I. 
3. S. europcea L. emend. Moss ; usually erect, branches 
arising at wide angles, ster. segm. usually bright green, spikes 
(in fl.) slightly tapering obtuse terminal ones long with 8 — 16
