136 (Rev. J. Symons. F.), and gathered long ago near Sunderland by Weighell, but not seen in Durham recently.

1. S. procumbens, L. Native. British type. Area C, N, D. Range 1–3.

Common upon walls and in damp places, ascending to 750 yards on Highfield, 890 yards on Cheviot. The pentamerous form is not unfrequent amongst the hills.

2. S. maritima, Don. Native. Maritime. British type. Area C, N, D. Range 1.

Frequent along the coast-line; Alnmouth, Howick, Bambro', Holy Island, Farne Islands, Dunstanbro', Blyth, Hartley, Willington, Hartlepool, Seaton Carew, &c.

3. S. apetala, L. Native. English type. Area C, N, D. Range 1.

Frequent in the low country in sandy soil. The highest station we know is the road-side near the Forest Lodge on Alnwick Moor (T.).

4. S. ciliata, Fries. English type. Area C, N. Range 1.

Bed of the Wooler Water from the Langlee-ford ravine down to the town with Teesdalia and Glyceria rigida (Jas. Hardy. B.) Near Bamborough (T.). On the coast sand-hills at High Pans near Blyth (R.B. Bowman!).

5. S. subulata, Wimm. Native. Scottish type. Area C. Range 1.

On the basalt at Ratcheugh, Howick, Spindlestone, Dunstanbro', Craster, &c. The Cullercoats plant mentioned by Ray, Syn., Ed. 2, p. 207, referred here by Winch, is more likely S. maritima. There is no specimen of it in Buddle's Herbarium, but he writes that he thinks the plant a var. of that now called S. ciliata.
