Abstract
FROM its characteristics and the circumstances of its origin, Stapf1 and others have concluded that the cord or rice grass, Spartina Townsendii H. and J. Groves, must have originated on the foreshore of Southampton Water as a hybrid between S. alterniflora and S. stricta. The only objections to this have been raised on the ground that it is fertile and breeds true to type.
