Abstract
THE strand flora about the Bay of Naples differs so much from most of those which have been studied with reference to the toxic effect of sodium chlorid solutions that it seemed to the writer worth while to investigate the conditions of existence of a characteristic association. Along a strip of beach sand not quite two meters above the average sea level and less than ten meters from the water line, on the margin of the Bay of Baiae, a well defined association of somewhat more than fourteen members was found. All of these occurred within a distance of a hundred meters, measured along the shore. The species determined were: Euphorbia Paralias, E. terracina, Polygonum maritimum, Matthiola sinuata, *Alyssum maritimum, Plantago Coronopus, Medicago marina, M. litoralis, *Lotus ornithopodioides, Eryngium maritimum, Echinophora spinosa *Senecio vulgaris, *Artemisia variabilis, *Inula viscosa.
