Syme, E. B. x. 45, t. 1581. Is found in Surrey and South Hants, and should 

 be looked for on the Bagshot Sands ; hitherto I have been unsuccessful. 

 Dryander, following Willdenow, wrote Rhynchospora fusca. Eoemer and 

 Schultes were apparentlj^ the first authors to write Rynchospora fusca in 

 Syst. ii. 88 (1817).]

 plants, and we found this upon a bogge neere the highway side at 

 the corner of the great parke, Johnson, Gerarcts Herbal. 30, 1633. 

 The locality may have been in Surrey.
