Note. —Since the above was written there has been pub¬ 
lished the first volume of the Cambridge British Flora. In that 
work Dr. Moss places, as he says with some misgivings, under 
the name of Salicornia prostrata, Pallas, the prostrate herbaceous 
Glass-worts. From the description and figure, S. prostrata is the 
name which must be used for my much-branched prostrate 
plant that Dr. Moss called 5 . ramosissima forma prostrata or 
S. appressa Dum. In the same work is described the hybrid 
S. disarticulata x gracillima, which Dr. Moss has recognised 
among plants collected in Dorset by the Rev. E. F. Linton, 
and among a gathering of S. disarticulata made by myself in 
Essex (i.e., St. Osyth). It is noted that the hybrid is “very 
rare. Dorset and Essex. Not known elsewhere.” 
Salicornia herbacea, L., the common Glasswort, that I 
omitted to mention, was collected by myself at Brightlingsea 
Creek.—C. E. B.
