| notes: | Erythraea ramosissima Pers., var. pulchella Griseb. ap DC Prodf. = E. pulchella var. B. Fries. Small and often 1-flowered seedlings from Salt Marsh at mouth of R. Brue, N. Somerset, July 1921. In 1898 from the same marsh larger specimens with broad leaves were considered by C, E. Salmon a rather remarkable form of pulchella.-H. S. Thompson. Yes, Persoon's name dates from 1807, Fries' from 1814. Why Fries' name has been so long used seems odd. It seems to be the same as E. pulchella Fr., sub-var. pusilla, Coss. et Germ. "Fl. Paris," p. 258 (1845).- A. Bennett. |
