Salicornia sp. nov. Holme salt marsh, Norfolk, October 16, 
1910. This is a well-marked plant, characterized by the ease with 
tvhich the segments disarticulate at or even before maturity. This 
peculiarity seems to be due to the narrow bases of the segments. 
It is a sturdy-looking, rigid, erect, much-branched plant, with 
7<ery short segments, and only one flower to each inflorescetice. The 
latter would seem to be a very important character, as all other 
species of Salicornia have three (or rarely more) such flowers to 
each inflorescence. It grows on the drier parts of salt marshes, 
sometimes among turf of Glyceria maritima, and sometimes as- 
sociated with S. gracillima (Towns.). In habit, it comes between 
S. ramosissima and 6'. pus ilia ; but it is never even half so tall 
as good specimens of S. ramosissima ; and it is not a graceful, 
comely plant like S. pusilla. However, the characters given above 
are very definite ones, and suffice to distinguish the new plant 
from all other species. So far, the new plant has been gathered 
in Brittany (!), in the Isle of Wight (!), in South Hampshire (!), 
at Cley (!) in Norfolk, at Holme Marsh, Norfolk, where the present 
specimens were collected. I propose to describe it elsewhere as 
a new species under the name of Salicornia disarticulata. (See 
‘Journ. of Bot.,’ June 1911.) — C. E. Moss. When staying near 
Yarmouth, I. of Vv., at the end of September 1905, I made many 
visits to the salt marsh there with the object of getting s])ecimens 
of Salicornioe for drawings. The plant Dr. Moss considers to be an 
undescribed species was very abundant, and puzzled me much. 
As it did not seem to fit in with any of the forms described in 
the appendix to Townsend’s ‘Flora of Hampshire ’ (1904), I con- 
cluded that it might perhaps be placed under 6’. ramosissima. 
Mr. E. S. Marshall assented, but with considerable doubt— re- 
marking that the latter species, when well-grown, was considerably 
larger. I marked my drawing “? ramosissima^'; but I felt that if 
it were really this plant, then the S. ramosissima sent to me from 
Cornwall was not very similar. When I showed the drawing to 
Dr. Moss in 1908, he would not pass it as S. ramosissima ; and 
when, in the autumn of 1909, he sent me from Hunstanton a 
specimen of his new Glasswort, it was palpable that it and the 
Yarmouth plant were identical. — E. W. Hunnybun. Dr. Moss 
kindly sent me fresh specimens of this gathering. Even the most 
careful handling did not prevent the disarticulation on which his 
prospective name is very justly based. I have specimens very 
like it, collected at Hamworthy, Dorset, by Rev. E. F. Linton ; 
but whether or not they had disarticulating segments I am unable 
to say. — Edward S. Marshall. If the latter plants belong to 
my new species, they will be uniflorous. Mr. Marshall’s No. 2510 
is S. disarticulata. — C. E. Moss.
