CAREX AESTIVALIS IN THE Bruer Hirrs.—Last summer I found a 
few vigorous tufts of a conspicuous Carex near the southerly boundary 
of the Blue Hills Reservation, growing on a rocky wooded slope. 
Submitted to Prof. Fernald this proved to be C. aestivalis M. A. Curtis. 
Number XII of the Reports on the Flora of the Boston District 
in Ruopora, Vol. 13, p. 233 has the following note against this species: 
"Lexington (Wm. Boott, July 2, 1876)." Gray’s Manual (7th edition) 
says "Rocky woods, mostly on upland slopes, N. H. to Ga., rare."—

LEUCOJUM AESTIVUM IN DELAWARE.—Leucojum aestivum L. was 
found in Dover, Delaware, in 1921, and identified for the writer 
by Professor M. L. Fernald. It is thoroughly established in swampy 
ground near St. Jones’ River. The bed is about twenty feet in area 
and seems to be spreading. The plant blossoms as early as April 
15, and as late as May 16.—H. H. Hanson, Dover, Delaware. 
The date of the June issue (urpublished as this goes to press) will be an- 
nounced later.
