5. Loddon. Near Sonning, Rudge. 



I have been unable to find this plant near Sonning, and even if the 

 record be correct, it may have been gathered by Mr. Rudge on the 

 Oxfordshire side of the river. At Marcham it is still plentiful along 

 a deep ditch which borders the east side of the brackish meadow. 

 I have found Zannichellia peduncidata, Z. pcdusiris (not typical^, and 

 Ranunculus trichophylhcs in the same stream, the banks of which have 

 a quantity of Apium graveolens. 



Both forms of this Scirpus occur at Marcham, namely, var. a, laxus, 

 Vis. Fl. Dalm. 109, the type, and var. 6, conglobatus, S. F. Gray, Nat. 

 Arr. ii. 76 ,1821), in which the panicle is simple, conglomerate, the 

 spikes being sessile. 



S. maritimus is recorded for Hants and Surrey only of the bordering 

 counties.
