262 NOTES ON CAKEX. 



Olasr/. Nat. Hist. Soc. 110 (1888), Mr. Ewing records this as "var. 

 (ilju'stris Anders.," which is a very small plant compared with the 

 usual state. 



C. DEPAUPERATA Good. ex With. An: ed. 2, 1049 (1787). 

 C. ventrkosa Curt. Fl. Lond. f. vi. t. 68 (1790). See Jotini. Bot. 

 1896, 185, 229. 



C. L.EViGATA Smith in Trans. Linn. Sue. v. 272 (1800). Var. 

 (jmcilis Ar. Benn. in Jourii. But. 1889, 314. This has much the 

 aspect of C. punetata Gaud. (C. diluta Bieb.), gathered by Mr. 

 Beckwith in Salop. Kichter gives " C. heludes Link in Schrader's 

 Journal, 305 (1799)." Kunth accepts Link's name, and adds to it 

 ''Jide Smith." 



C. BiNERVis Smith in Trans. Linn. Sue. v. 268 (1800). This 

 varies greatly ; Mr. Druce proposes the name f. vigresccns for the 

 mountain form in Jour a. Bot. 1890, 44, but I think Drejer has 

 named this /3. alpina {Bev. Crit. Car. 474 (1841) ). 



C. DILUTA Bieb. FL Taur.-Cauc. ii. 888 (1808). C. punctata 

 Gaud. Aqrust. Helv. ii. 152 (1811). Eichter gives " C. pallidior 

 Degl. in 'Lois. Fi. Gall. ii. 299 (1807)." Mr. Druce {A7m. Scott. 

 Nat. Hist. 1896, 40) has a like quotation, but the name is not to be 

 found in the 1807 cd. ; it occurs in the 2nd ed. published in 1828 

 ■^a date which at once disposes of the claim to priority contended 

 for by Mr. Druce. It should be noted that in some herbaria 

 C. diluta is represented by C. distans L. 



C. FLAVA L. (see Journ. But. 1889, 330). /3. clatior Schlecht. Fl. 

 Bcrol. 1, 477 (1823). This, according to Prof. Bailey, is C. Icpido- 

 carpa Tausch. C. CEderi Eetz ; should this bear the name of 

 Ehrhart. Calam. Exsicc. No. 79, 1790?; as Eetz declares that his 

 plant is not the plant of Ehrhart. This about equals the var. 

 minor Townscnd, and is not the (Kderi of Kvcj. Bot. ed. 3, which is 

 var. cijperoides Marsson Fl. Neuvorj). 537 (1869) (as a species). 

 C. chrijsitcs Link in Herb. Berolin. teste Bailey, being a MS. name, 

 should not be used or quoted. 



C. FLAVA X FULVA = C. xautkocarpa Degl. in Loisel. Gall. ii. 

 299 (1828). 



C. ACUTiFOKMis Ehrh. Bcitr. Bot. iv. 43 (1789). C.paludosa Good, 

 in Trans. Linn. Soc. ii. 202 (1794). The variety notin Lond. Cat. ed. 9. 

 It is a little uncertain "what name the variety should bear; it is 

 C. spadicca Both, Tent. Fl. Germ. ii. 461 (1793). C. Kochiana DC. 

 Cat. Hort. Monosp. 89 (1813). C. paludosa /3. Kochiana Gaud. Fl. 

 Helv. iv. 130 (1830). C. paludosa /3. suhulata Doll. Bhein. Flora 

 144 (1843). I am not sure whether C. paludosa var. elongata Schum. 

 En. PL Saell. i. 274 (1801) is the same. 



C. RiPARiA Curt. Fl. Lond. 4, t. 60 (1821). Eichter has C. crassa 

 Ehrh. Beit. 4, 43 (1789). C. rufa Lam. Encycl. 3, 394 (1789), and 

 Kunth also quotes these names. I have a specimen from Eostherne 

 Mere, Cheshire, H. Searle, 1883, that is very near, if not identical 

 with, C. riparia var. obesa Fries, Sunun. Vef/. Scand. 70 (1846) 

 (nomen) ; C. riparia var. deformis Beurling, Bot. Not. 37 (1853)
