538 VEGETATION OF BLAKENEY POINT. 
Salicornia ramosissima (v.c.) 
,, disarticulata (occ.) 
Statice Limonium (v.c.) 
Suaeda maritima (r.) 
Ohione portulacoides (at edges). 
Glaux maritima (c.) 
Artemisia maritima (at edges). 
Cochlearia officinalis (r.) 
A J uncus association is present at the edge of these marshes, 
the principal species of which are the following : — - 
Juncus maritimus (d.) 
Armeria vulgaris (v.c.) 
Glyceria maritima (v.c.) 
Glaux maritima (c.) 
Salicornia spp. (c.) 
Statice Limonium (c.) 
Spergularia media (c.) 
Plantago maritima (c.) 
In the bay formed by the depression in the “ Hood ” there is 
the only Juncus association which the Blakeney Point area 
itself affords. Juncus maritimus is the dominant plant, grow- 
ing in a short turf of Agrostis maritima and Carex arenaria, 
the occasional species being Cochlearia officinalis, Sagina 
maritima, Anagallis arvensis, and Sedum acre. 
F urther towards the lower edge is a zone of damp sand, in 
which the Agrostis is more scattered and the barer parts are 
occupied by Glaux maritima, Plantago Coronopus f. pygmcea, 
and Sagina, with a single specimen of Juncus Gerardi. 
This Plantago-Glaux association is characteristic of damp 
hollows such as this, and is met with in several places on the 
Headland where the same physical conditions prevail. 
The Samphire Marsh. 
From the “Hood” landwards there extends out into the 
estuary the remains of what was once a lateral shingle bank. 
On the eastern side of this, near its extremity, is situated a 
marsh which presents several peculiar features . 1 * 5 On the whole 
10. lu view of its interest, this detached marsh requires a name. It is proposed 
to call it the Samphire Marsh, as it is here especially that the Sea Samphire 
( Salicornia ) is collected by the local inhabitants.
