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 5. 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.
