SHOKT NOTES. 



Botanical Record Club Chaeas. — I have recently examined 

 the specimens of Chara belonging to the Record Club, which are 

 the vouchers of Records on pp. 228-9 in the Report for 1877, and 

 I find that there are several which require comment : — 



Chara sijncarpa, Thuill. " Hants South " and " Essex North." 

 — I sent these under the aggregate name of Chara syncarpa, Thuill. 

 (which includes Nitella sjjricarpa, X. capitata, and N. ojiaca of 

 Braun), not knowing that it was intended to attempt giving the 

 segregates separately. Both of these plants are doubtless 

 X opaca, "Ag.," A. Br. I cannot satisfactorily reduce any 

 English plant that I have seen to C. syncarpa (segr.). It is, 

 I thuik, the rarest form. 



C. glomerata, Desv. "York South-east, H. F. Parsons." — 

 Instead of a specimen there is a letter from Prof. Babington, in 

 which he does not refer the plant sent him to C. glomerata with 

 certainty. 



C. ainita, Wallr. "Glamorgan, F. A. Lees." — This is not 

 crinita, but a form of aspera (if dioecious) ; it is very different from 

 C. crinita, although it is remarkably like a plant recently distributed 

 as such from Swan Pool, near Falmouth. 



C.fcetida, A. Br. "York South-east, Parsons." — I do not find 

 a specimen of this, but instead a memorandum, at the foot of the 

 label of a specimen from South-west York, that a similar plant 

 had been found at the locality given in South-east York. 



C. aapera, Willd. "York South-west." — Dr. Parsons' plant is 

 Chara fragil is, as he labelled it, but his name has been altered to 

 " aspera," and some C. aspera attached to the card bearing his 

 specimen. 



I may also mention a specimen from Mid-west York, F. A. Lees, 

 labelled Chara fcetida. This is — most of it at least — Chara frag His ; 

 although one or two pieces look different, they may have come 

 from another part of the " Dyke." This plant, however, is of little 

 importance, not representing a New County Record. — H. Groves.
