or shorter and lax-flowered, ascending-patulous. >S 'pikelets 1-flowered. 
Outer bract 1| (rarely If) mm. long, c. 2 mm. broad, triangular- 
ovate, zb obtuse, herbaceous, except for its rather narrow membranous 
margin, with an apiculus sometimes exceeding the margin ; herbaceous 
portion puberulous. Middle bract If (rarely If) mm. long, c. If

hyaline with two veins running to apex, finely puberulous particu¬ 
larly on veins, only slightly exceeding outer bract. Inner bract 
c. 3f mm. long, c. 2f mm. broad, oval or obovate, zhobtuse with rather 
narrow membranous margin, herbaceous portion apiculate (apiculus 
sometimes exceeding margin) ; bract finely puberulous including 
(usually) part of the membranous margin, almost three times longer 
than outer bract. Dracteole 0. Calyx 4f-5 mm. long, very slightly 
curved, infundibuliform, pedicel very short glabrous, membranous and 
dilated c. 3f mm. from base ; calyx-lobes c. If mm. long, narrowly 
ovate, acute, with acute tube-veins not reaching apex ; calyx rather 
regularly and densely hairy on ribs and spaces with spreading- 
ascending hairs up to base of lobes and usually upon veins in lobes. 
Corolla c. 4 mm. in diameter. 
S. cancellata Bernh., which, in common with our plant, is clothed 
with a fine pubescence, differs noticeably in its smaller less orbicular 
leaves and in the branching of the scape ; its spikelets, too, are 
usually two-flowered with more acute bracts and other smaller dis¬ 
tinctions can be noted.

Dr. Ginzberger (in Denskscli. K. Acad, already mentioned) shows 
(T. i.) excellent photographs of the extremely precipitous llock Porno, 
its circumference only 0*7 km. and its height 96 m. Figures 3 and 
4 on T. ii. show the smaller Rock Kamik, 04 km. in circumference, 
with steep precipitous coast. Dr. Ginzberger has kindly sent me the 
following additional information. 
Kamik consists of white-grey coloured Upper Cretaceous Dolomite 
breccia *. The Statice was found there south-eastwards, all along 
the slope between 135 and 23‘8 metres above sea-level. It was 
accompanied by Crithmum maritimum , lotus Allionii Desv., and 
Suceda fruticosa Forsk. Pomo consists of a dark green-grey coloured 
igneous rock of the Upper Trias, “an Augite-diorite.” The Statice 
occurred on the eastern side growing with Crithmum maritimum, 
Daucus sp., Alyssum leucadeum Guss., Centaurea crithmifolia Vis., 
C. Jabulcemis Ginz. & Teyb., and X C. pomoensis Teyber. The 
growth began about 11 metres above sea-level (measured perpen¬ 
dicularly) where the smooth steep rock (shown on T. i. f. 4, on the 
right) changes into a slope of about 30°, which is covered with 
rubbish and earth. On this slope the plant extends to a height of 
about 20 metres above sea-level. He remarked that it was very 
# Miss M. C. Crosfield, F.G.S., tells me that a “ breccia ” is a formation 
consisting of angular blocks, like a “ scree,” hardened into rock.
