Carex in Canada is rich in types, some being confined to this continent, others being known 

 also from Eurasia. The arctic element Canada shares mostly with PJurope, and several species 

 are circumpolar; many of the Canadian Carices represent alliances analogous to those of the 

 Old World, exemplified by types of a corresponding habit and structure. Canada besides is 

 the home of certain ancestral types which arc absent from Europe. In other words several of 

 the greges are more amply represented in Canada by possessing these types in connection with 

 the centrales, and passing gradually into some more or less deviating desciscentes. The pres- 

 ence in Canada of the Lejochlaenae, mostly sylvan types of rare morphological structure, and 

 of southern origin, indicates the enormously wide distribution of the genus on this continent, 

 and its ability to adapt itself to the environment, far north and far south. — Theodore Holm.

 cal notes XVII.] Nederland. Kruidk. Arch. 1920: 145-1G3. 1921.— This article contains notes 

 about some Orchises of the Netherlands: (1) Orchis latifolia dunensis Reichl. f., probably an 

 extreme form of Orchis incarnata X latifolia. The description in Ascherson-Graebner's 

 "Synopsis" is absolutely wrong, as is shown from the original diagnosis in Reichenbach's 

 "Icones" and the type in the herbarium of the Dutch Botanical Society. (2) Orchis Traun- 

 steineri, mentioned from the Netherlands, has always proved to be Orchis incarnata X lati- 

 folia or Orchis incarnata X maculala. Further notes are given about the small-leaved forms 

 of Orchis latifolia and the forms of Orchis maculata. — IF. H. Wachter.

 Schlickumii. [Floristical notes XVIII.] Nederland. Kruidk. Arch. 1920: 164-169. 1 fig. 

 1921 . — This hybrid, new for the Netherlands, is described, and the divergences from the parents, 

 Festuca gigantea and F. pratensis, are stated, with an enumeration of the Dutch forms of F. 

 pratensis, among which the new form aristata is characterized. — W. H. Wachter.

 land. Kruidk. Arch. 1920: 170-207. 1 fig. 1921. — A synopsis of, and a key to, the Dutch 

 species of this genus is given. As the Netherlands are not mentioned in the monograph of 

 von Wettstein, the Dutch species may be given here: Euphrasia lutea L. (only adventive), 

 E. litoralis Fr., E. odontites L., E. montana Jord., E. Rostkoviana Hayne, E. stricta Host., 

 E. nemorosa Pers., E. curta Fr., and E. gracilis Fr. — W. H. Wachter.
