Statice reticulata, L. 
In the two latest lists of British plants, i.e., the London 
Catalogue, Ed. 10, 1908, this species is named Limonium 
bellidifolium, Dum. ; in the British Museum “ Seed-plants 
and Ferns, 1907,” it is called Limonium reticulatum, Miller, 
Gardeners’ Diet., 1768. Gouan FI. Monsp., 1765, gave it the 
first name, and Linnaeus Sp. Plant., Ed. 1 (1753), 275, gave it 
the latter name, but only giving it for “ Melita,” i.e., Malta ; 
both under the generic name Statice. 
The non-accordance in nomenclature of our British lists 
and books is most troublesome to those botanists who do not 
possess a library ; and the so-called earliest names seem as 
far off as ever. 
Atriplex pedunculata, L. 
Gathered below Gravesend in West Kent, in September, 
1885, by Mr. A. Thurnall. 
It is very curious that no one in recent years has found 
this species or Statice reticulata in Lincolnshire. Sir J. 
Banks speaks of it as being “ vastly abundant in some 
years.” * 
There are specimens from Lincolnshire in Buddie’s Herb- 
arium (c. 1660 — 1715), contained in that of Sloane at the 
British Museum. 
The Rev. Woodrufte-Peacock in “ The Naturalist ” (1897), 
170, gives his division 18 of South Lincoln, but Bank’s 
locality of Fossdyke most certainly is in No. 17. It seems 
that T. Martynt gathered it at “ Tid Goat, near Wisbeach.” 
Wisbeach is, of course, in Cambridgeshire, but Tydd Gote 
hamlet is in Lincolnshire, and Tydd St. Giles in Cambridge- 
shire. So it seems likely from Relhan’s (1753 — 1823), Flora 
Cant., 1820, and Lyon’s Fas., pi. (1763), p. 32; (and the 
* General View of the Agriculture of Lincoln, 1799. 
t Plantre, Cantab (1763), p. 8.
