146 A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A FLORA OF BRECONSHIRE. 



A. Ijeij. Gilwern. I have no other record for this rush, so common 

 in South and Mid England. It has not yet been recorded for the 

 neighbouring counties of Cardigan, Montgomery or Merioneth, but 

 Mr. Ridley informs me that it is the commonest Juncus in portions 

 of Herefordshire, on the old red sandstone. — J. acutifiorus Ehrh. C.

 en-compressus Jacq. (Mature capsule bluntly obovate, longer than 

 perianth segments ) ; in the dry bed of the Usk, above Brecon ;

 queried as an error.

 Moors ; A. Ley. — E. aiu/ustifolium Roth. C. in mountain bogs. 

 Noted at Pen-y-wyllt, on Epynt Hills, &c. I found an interesting 

 plant, with downy peduncles, in a mountain bog, about 500 feet 

 above and on the west side of Torpantau Railway-station. Mr. J. Gr. 

 Baker, to whom I submitted this plant, remarks that it has the 

 peduncles and fruit, but not the leaves of E. yracile Koch. Un- 

 fortunately my siDCcimens were imperfect. The plant should be 

 further searched for.
