THE ESSEX NATURALIST
Chenopodiaceae
Beta trigyna Waldst, & Kit.
Warley Place, 59.
Salicornia gracillima (Towns.) Moss.
Bradwell, 00.
Compositae
Arctium lappa L. var. foliosum Wallr.
Marshy field by River Stour, Bures, 93.
lunula crithmoides L. Golden Samphire.
Marshes, East Tilbury, 67. V.W.E.
Gibson gives Leigh Marshes, but since then the records only
show coastal areas between Foulness Island and the River
Stour. This record is interesting as it proves the plant occurs
much further westward in the Thames marshes and is possibly
in other places. Recorders please note. (Specimen seen and
confirmed by S.T.J.)
Cruciferae
Dentaria bulbifera L. Coral-wort.
Warley Place, 59.
Cardamine impatiens L.
Warley Place, 59.
Crambe maritima L. Seakale.
Bradwell, 00.
The only previous Essex records I can trace are those given by
Gibson as references to Gerrard (1597), Parkinson (1640) and
Gough (1789), with a note "not found recently".
