BOTANICAL NOTES AND NEWS 123 



Carex chordorhiza, L. (from wet peat-bogs at Altnaharra, in 

 Sutherland, where it was found by Mr. Marshall and Mr. Shoolbred 

 as new to Britain), is described on p. 73, and figured on plate 383. 



C. echinata, Murray, var. grypus (Schkuhr), from Allt Giubhas, 

 near Kingshouse, Argyleshire, which seemed distinctly the variety, 

 changed after cultivation for a year into normal echinata. 



C. curfa, Good., var. alpicola, Wahlb., of British botanists, from 

 moor near Little Culrannoch, from Driesh Hill, and from Sow of 

 Athole, were named by Herr Kukenthal C. canescens, var. robustior, 

 Blytt. 



C. ovalis, Good., var. bracteata, Syme. The elongation of the 

 bract is too inconstant to uphold a variety by it. 



C. rigida, Good., var. inferalpina, Lsestad. Specimens from 

 Little Culrannoch and Glas Maol were confirmed as of this variety 

 by Herr Kukenthal. 



C. aquatilis, Wahlb. Specimens from tableland above Corrie 

 Kander, Aberdeenshire, were referred by Herr Kiikenthal to var. 

 epigeios, Anderrs., while the plant distributed by Dr. F. B. White 

 from White Myre of Methven, Perthshire, as var. epigeios he refers 

 to " C. vulgar is, Fr., y elatior, Lang, 2 angustifolia m." 



C. aquatilis x rigida, not previously recorded from Britain, has 

 been gathered on Glas Maol, on moor at head of Glen Fiagh, 

 Clova, and near Kingshouse, Argyle. All seem sterile, at least in 

 part. 



C. Goodenowii x rigida is probable parentage of a plant from 

 near Kingshouse, at about 2000 feet. 



C. panicea, L., var. intermedia (Miegeville). A specimen from 

 Fort William exactly resembles the Pyrenean form. 



" C. pelia, O. F. Lang," found at Altnaharra in 1887, is referred 

 by Herr Kukenthal to panicea, L., though the fruit shows resem- 

 blance to C. livida. 



C. distans, L. Herr Kukenthal refers a dwarf plant from Inver 

 Bay, near Tain, to var. litoralis, Anderrs. 



C. fulva, Good. Mr. Marshall discusses what is the true value of 

 the name, and concludes that C. fulva, Good., is mostly C. flava x 

 Hornschuchiana, Hoppe, and that Homschuchiana should be retained 

 for the species, and fulva dropped, as Babington did. 



C. Hornschuchiana x (Eden, gathered at Inveroran, Argyleshire, 

 and near Conan in East Ross. 



C. (Ederi, Retz., is accepted in usual sense (not as understood 

 by Bailey). Var. cedocarpa, Anderrs., was found in Glen Nevis, 

 West Inverness. 



C. rostrata x vesicaria. Sterile plants, referred to this hybrid, 

 were gathered in Glen Callater. South Aberdeen, in 1886, and on 

 Meall Ghaordie, Perthshire, at 2800 feet, in 1891. 



C. vesicaria, L. Herr Kukenthal places C. Grahami, Boott,
