131 



headed form called E. gracile by Smith ; alter names 

 in Catalogue to the above. 



1549, added species found by Mr. Brebner in 

 Perthshire ; should be searched for elsewhere in 

 Scotland, it is smaller and with fewer flowers than 

 the common species. 



155 1 is 1384, 7U1 ed. 



1554 should have been enclosed in rounded brackets, 

 to show that, although formerly found, it is now 

 ■extinct. 



1561 b, a form difficult to distinguish from arenaria, 

 unless in flower, though generally made a species. 



1562 should be C. diandra, Schreb. 



1564$, a form of the plant growing generally 

 isolated and with rigid panicle, &c. 



1566, a species naturalised by the Thames near 

 Kew, it is an abundant N. American species. 



1569 is 1427, 7th ed. 



1569 b, spell with small g ; is an Alpine var. 

 gathered by Rev. R. Linton in Glen Shee. 



1572 should have the last " en " cut out. 



1573, an added species. Founded on a specimen 

 gathered by Dr. H. Balfour on Lochnagar some years 

 ago. Probably occurs also in Forfar. 



1581^, a var. from Cambridgeshire, usually a 

 smaller, more gracile plant with narrower spikes than 

 stricta. 



1582 3, a var. with the glumes much longer than 

 the fruits gathered in Norfolk. 



Var. c, a var. from the north of Ireland, determined 

 by Dr. Christ. 



1582 d, a var. gathered in Salop and Cambridge, 

 determined by Dr. Almquist, it is much smaller than 

 Ihe type with slender spikes and glumes. 



3583, an added species from the coast of Norfolk. 



1584^, a large form of rigida, simulating aquatilis, 

 which it is often named. 



1585 <5, this varietal name should be altered to 

 .elatior, Babington, 1st ed. of "Manual of British 

 Botany, 1843," while Syme's name only appeared in 

 the 3rd ed. of " English Botany." 



1585 c, a rare form with aristate glumes, gathered 

 sparingly by the Wick river in Caithness by Mr. 

 Banbury. 



1585^/, a var. in habit somewhat between aquatilis 

 tmd Goodcnovii (vulgaris), found by Dr. White in 

 Perth. 



1586, an added plant from the Wick river, Caithness, 

 ■ a very interesting addition to our flora of an Arctic 

 species belting the globe at high latitudes. 



1587^ may be held to be the same as 1442/S, 

 7th ed. 



1588, alter name to C.ftacca, Schreb. 



,1596^, a variety from Yorkshire figured in the 

 "*' Journal of Botany." 



1598, alter name to vema, Chaix. 



15983 may well be expunged. It was founded on 

 plants gathered in the Irish mountains, strongly 

 simulating the continental C. capita/a, L., the male 



spike suppressed, and altogether so unlike prsecox as 

 to be well thought something else. 



1603. This interesting Carex has been gathered by 

 several botanists from Glen Lyon, Perthshire, so that 

 Don's plant can now certainly take its place in our lists. 



1604. I have seen the original specimens gathered 

 by Mr. Sadler in Glen Callater, and Mr. C. B. 

 Clarke and Mr. N. E. Brown, of the Kew Herbarium, 

 consider them C. frigida of Allioni. Along with 

 them Dr. Macfarlane kindly sent a sheet of specimens 

 of certain C. frigida, localised from the Clova 

 mountains. Mr. Bentham (5th ed. of his "Flora") 

 considers the Scotch plant "not the true plant of 

 Allioni, but a variety of vaginata." 



1614^ may be held 1467 b, 7th ed. 



1614 c, an added plant, is a sterile form offitlva or 

 an hybrid fnhia x fia-va for Orkney and elsewhere. 



16 1 5 b consider as 1468 b, 7th ed. 



1616 b ; this is the usual form of flava, and may be 

 held about equal to the var. lepidocarpa of 3rd ed. of 

 "English Botany" and "Topographical Botany." 

 The true lepidocarpa is decidedly rare. I have myself 

 only seen it from Caithness and Yorkshire. 



1621, alter name to acutiformis, Ehrh. 

 1623 is 1476, 7th ed. 



1623 b is a large, broad-leaved, long-spiked form 

 from Wales, &c. 



1624 b is very rare as a British plant. I have seen 

 only one specimen, gathered by Mr. Druce in Perth- 

 shire. 



1626, alter authority to " Linn." 



1627 is 1484, 7th ed. 



1634, added species, found near Southampton by 

 the Messrs. Groves, it is in some respects intermediate 

 between 1632 and 1633. 



1638 is 1489, 7th ed. 



1640, added species. A small annual plant now 

 found in several counties, but evidently introduced 

 with seeds. 



1642, alter name to A. myosuroides, " Huds." 



1651 is 1499, 7th ed. 



1653 is 1482, 7th ed. 



1656 c is a seaside var. found in Caithness, &c 



1657 c is a var. found by Mr. Bagnell in Warwick- 

 shire, and since in several counties, it connects alba 

 with vulgaris. 



1662, alter name to G. australe, Beauv. 



1665, added species of Calamagroslis, gathered by 

 Mr. Grant in Robert Dick's station, recorded in his 

 life by Dr. Smiles. Dick supposed it Lapponica of 

 Hooker, but Mr. Grant's specimens proved it to be 

 the Arctic species named, which is rare in Europe, 

 in Lapland, Finmark, and Norway. 



1666 is 1516, 7th ed. 



1667 is 1512, 7th ed. 



1668 is 15 13, 7th ed. 



1670 £ is a var. with numerous stems to the root 

 and denser heads.
