Salicornia radicans Sm. 19. E. Mersea (G).
S. disarticulata Moss. 19. E. Mersea. Unfortunately I
collected only two or three "samples" of this, not knowing
it at the time, and do not know how common it was. Its
solitary flowers and habit agree admirably with the
figure and description in Butcher and Strudwick's
Further Illustrations of the British Flora. It is interesting
to note that C. E. Britton recorded it in a similar locality
at St. Osyth. Ess. Nat., xvii, p. 254.
