Chrysanthemum parthenium, Bernh.—Great Clacton ; pre¬ 
sumably of garden origin, as usual. 
Artemisia maritima, L.—As is well known the Sea Wormwood 
occurs in two forms ; in one, with loose more or less spreading 
and drooping panicle branches, and in the other with more 
clustered and rather erect-growing panicle branches, and with 
the heads on shorter stalks, this form is, besides, less cottony 
than typical A. maritima, L. British botanists.distinguish the 
second form as var. gallica (Willd.). Rouy ( Flore de France 8 , 
p. 300), however, considers this an error, and names our plant 
Artemisia pseudo-gallica, and is of the opinion that the true 
Artemisia gallica of Willdenow is a Mediterranean plant that 
does not reach the shores of northern Europe. Artemisia mari- 
tirna and the forme (or race) A. pseudo-gallica of Rouy grow r 
together at Clacton.
