Footstalked Orache. Gray, Nat. Ar. Brit, pi., 282, 1821.

A. Gray, l.c., has a B. humilis ; this is merely when it has 
grown in drier places, or the main stem become broken. 
First Record. 
“ A Marina semine lato nondum descripto. John. Merc. 
Bot. ii., 16, 1641. Near Harlecham.” This may be a first 
record, but there is nothing known of its having grown in 
Merioneth that I can discover. It is not given in either of 
the Botanical Guides, or Watson’s Outlines. The real first 
record, with locality, I take to be Sherards in Ray’s Syn., 1690. 
“ In the south of Kent, near the ferry, in great plenty.” 
Another early one is Plukenet in Gibson, 1695. “ Prope Jt yw 
Shirbeck vicinum miliare a Bostonian distantibus copiose j 
provenit.” The English Botany, fig. t. 232. Feb. 1, 1795, 
was drawn from specimens gathered by Mr. Lilly Wigg in ' 
“ Salt Marshes near Yarmouth.” The notes* do not give 
the county, but probably it was Suffolk.
