Agrostemma (L.) E. B. 741. St. b. 6. — Fl. large, purple. St. 
dichotomous, 2 — 3 feet liigh. Cal. coriaceous, ribbed, with 5

[1. B. annua (DC.); “st. loosely panicled from the base, 
branches sj)reading short firm, striae on the calyx straight parallel, 
caps, sc.arcely as long as the calyx, 1. subulate spreading at the 
base.” DC. — B. tenuifolia Sm., E. B. 1313. — Said to have been 
found near Boston, Lincolnshii’e, and upon Hounslow Heath ; 
probably a mistake. A. VI.] E.

1. S. procumbens {h.) ; sf. s7tor?, branches elongated pro- 
cumbent, 1 . linear mucronate glabrous, sep. blunt much longer 
than the petals and slightly shorter than the capsule, apex of the 
peduncles reflexed after flowering ultimately erect. — E. B. 880. 
R. 4959. St. 30. 3. — Central st. very short, barren and erect. 
The branches elongated, procumbent, often rooting. Pet. blunt, 
often w.anting. A fifth ]>art is occasionally added to the fl. in 
which case it is distinguished from S. saxatilis by its cal. spread- 
ing when in fruit aud styles reflexed dm-ing flowering. Mr. 
Borrer found, at Pidhorough, Sussex, a cmlous variety with nearly 
sessile flowers. — spinosa (Gibs.); 1. longer and narrower very

stem produces flowers and is erect, or in luxuriant plants more 
or less procumbent. Caps, sometimes longer than the calyx. 
Specimens of S. procumbens which have become more fleshy from 
growing near the sea are often mistaken for this plant.- — On the 
sea-shore. (Fries states that his plant sometimes ocem’s upon 
mountains in Norway.) A. V. — IX. Sea Pearlwort.
