The apposition beach of Dungeness, 'the greatest shingle structure in these islands' (Steers 1948, p. 319) consists principally of a vast expanse of shingle forming a roughly triangular foreland some 440 km2 in area with the apex projecting 7 km southeastwards into the English Channel from the south coast of Kent (Fig. 1). The construction of an atomic power station on the foreland makes it imperative to place on record some description of the vegetation, however premature and incomplete the account. The geography of the area has been described by Steers (1948) but the botany has received little mention in any published work.
