A. pubescens Link. Statice Armeria Sm. : E. B. t. 226. — 
y. leaves grooved and dotted above, calyx-tube uniformly 
hairy. A. pubigera i3.Boiss. — 8. leaves grooved above, calyx- 
tube hairy on the ribs only. A. duriuscula Bab. 
Muddy sea-shores, and among rocks by the sea-side. — /3. also near 
the tops of our highest mountains. — 8. rare. y. 4 — 9. — Leaves 
all radical, numerous. Heads of flowers rose-coloured or white, 
intermixed with scales, and having, besides, a brown membranous 
involucre of several leaves, terminating below in a sheathing jagged 
covering to the upper part of the scape, which is usually downy, but 
sometimes glabrous. 
2. A . plan tag inea Willd. ( Flantain-leaved T.); leaves linear- 
lanceolate 3 — 5-nerved, awns of the calyx long. E. B. S. 
t. 2928. Statice plantaginea All. 
Abundant in the sandy district of Quenvais, on the west side of the 
Island of Jersey. "g.. 6, 7. — This is readily distinguished from 
the last by the broad leaves, and long setaceous teeth to the calyx 
Flowers pale purple. 
2. Statice Linn. Sea-Lavender. 
Cal. funnel-shaped, plaited, dry and membranous. Pet. 
united at the base, bearing the stamens. Styles distinct, gla- 
brous : stigmas filiform, glandular. ( Flowers in unilateral 
spikes on a panicled scape.) — Named from ora n£<a, to stop ; 
having been employed, from its astringent qualities, to check 
dysentery. 
1. S. Limonium L. ( spreading-spiked S.) ; leaves elliptic-lan- 
ceolate stalked mucronate single-ribbed, scape with a much- 
branched spreading corymb at the top, branches curved out- 
wards, spikes short densely flowered, calyx-segments acute 
with intermediate teeth. E. B. t. 102. 
Frequent on the muddy shores and salt-marshes of England. Rare 
in Scotland, and perhaps found only about Berwick-upon-Tweed, y . 
7 — 9. — Leaves 4 inches to a span high, | or | as tall as the scape, 
single-ribbed with lateral oblique veins, mucronate : the mucro is 
recurved, being “ a continuation of the margin of the leaf, and is 
channelled. Scape angular, often furrowed above, with a coarse 
uneven surface.” Panicle truly corymbose and level-topped, with 
spreading or sometimes recurved densely flowered branches, in which 
respect this species appears chiefly to differ from the following. 
2. S. Bahusiensis Fries ( remote-flowered S.) ; leaves oblong- 
lanceolate stalked mucronate single-ribbed faintly nerved, scape 
much branched from near the base panicled, branches ascending 
or incurved, spikes elongated with rather distant flowers, calyx- 
segments acute with intermediate teeth. S. rariflora Drej. : 
E. B. S. t. 2917. 
Muddy shores, more widely distributed than the last. Chichester
