SHORT NOTES. 



Carex hblodes Link and other Suffolk Plants. — In June 

 last, with Dr. Moss, I motored through Suffolk. At Benacre 

 (district 3), in a marsh which lies on both sides of the road were 

 some interesting plants, which included "-''C. helodes, a species 

 not included in Hind's Flora of Suffolk. With it grew true 

 Orchis incarnata L., the flesh-coloured plant, also a hybrid of this 

 and its associate, 0. latifolia, i.e. 0. Aschersoniana Haussk. ; 

 SpircBa Ulmaria L. and the "var. denudata Boenn., as well as 

 some intermediate forms ; Carex hirta L., C. Goodenoivii Gay 

 *var. cJilorocarjM Druce, and var. recta Aschers. & Graebn. ; 

 C. inflata Huds. ; C. acutiformis Ehrh. var. spadicea (Roth), also 

 occurred. In sainfoin fields, Bromus interru])tus Druce was 

 abundant near Hadleigh (2), Saxmundham (4), and at Woodbridge 

 (5). ''B. leptostachys Pers. grew near Benacre (3). Potamogeton 

 alpinus Balb.' at Needham Market (5). Crepis taraxacifolia 

 Thuill., common as at Sudbury (2), Lowestoft (3), Woodbridge (5). 

 At Aldeburgh, Bammcuhts Baudotii Godr., Zayinichellia maritima 

 Nolte, Sagina maritima Don ; a hairy form of Lotus corniculatus 

 L., which comes under the "var. incanus Gray, appeared to be 

 the prevailing plant. Presumed new records to the Flora are 

 asterisked. — G. Claridge Druce. 



SWARTZIA INCLINATA Ehrh. ON THE LANCASHIRE DuNES. — 



The similarity between the moss-flora of the Lancashire sand- 

 dunes and that of such localities as Tents Muir, Fife, or the Sands 

 of Barrie, Dundee, has long been familiar to bryologists. It 

 requires something more than chance to account for the presence, 

 in areas so widely separated, of such rarities as Bryum Marrattii, 

 B. calophyllum, B. Warneimi, B. neodamense, Catoscopnmi nigri- 

 tmn, Hyimum Wilsoni, and H. lycopodioides. To these may now 

 be added Swartzia inclinata, which I found in the second week of 

 June, fruiting freely and in good quantity, scattered over several 

 yards of ground, in one place on the sand-dunes near Freshfield. 

 From all appearances it must have existed there for many years, 

 and it is singular that it has so long escaped observation. It has 

 previously been found in South Lancashire {vide Journ. Bot. 

 1908, p. 123), in an inland station. It was in very small quantity, 

 and caused some speculation as to its probable origin. Its dis- 

 covery in greater quantities on the shore lends some probability 

 to the idea that in the Rainford Moss station (which was on the 

 margin of a small pool) it may have been accidentally introduced
