The basis for a classification of the vegetation occurring on British saltmarshes is discussed and a dichotomous key, using floristic information, to the majority of plant communities on British marshes is presented. Brief descriptions of the communities are given, including information on their position in the saltmarsh zonation and their geographical distribution.
