Saltwort. Saticornia herhacea, L., and Salsola Kali, L. : a name 
invented for the latter by Turner (Herb.), who says, ‘Kali as I re-

and ‘ Rise, ’ all foreign productions ; but probably the British plant 
Crithmum is intended. I. of Wight (Samper) E. D. S. Gloss. 
Samphire. (1) The general name for Crithmum maritimum, L. — 
Prior, p. 203. 
(2) Salicornia herhacea, L. — Line. ‘ Our salt marshes yield a great 
deal of Kali geniculatum, which, when pickled, is their Samphire, and 
very plentifully used, and far esteemed by them above Crithmum 
maritimum.'^ Phil. Trans, xix. 350. N. Yks. J. Wilson (Synopsis, 
1744) mentions this plant as being used for pickle at Newcastle-on- 
Tyne. See also Marsh Samphire, Rock Samphire, and Sampion. 
It may be noted that the word Samphire seems also to have had a 
somewhat general signification : thus Parkinson, speaking of Alehe- 
milla arvensis, says, that those who employ it medicinally ‘ pickle it 
up as a Samphire to eate in winter.’ Theatr. 449.
