Report on Herbarium. 145 



Mr F. E. R. Wedderburn was a most careful and enthusiastic 

 l)Otanist, and Miss Wedderburn has taken care that the result 

 of his labours should be preserved for the advantage of future 

 students. 



The collection of grasses and sedges which Mr Tom Brown has 

 most kindly presented to the Society contains numerous rare 

 forms, and one, Carex elongata L., which is of the very greatest 

 interest. It has hitherto been only known in Scotland from one 

 locality in Kirkcudbright ; and if, as I understand, this plant was 

 found near Auchenhessnane, it is a most interesting discovery. 



Miss Han nay has received a most valuable collection of 32 

 plants from Mr Bennett, of Croydon. Most of these are rare and 

 critical species, e.g., 17 species of Potamogeton, and these are of 

 the greatest value to our Herbarium, especially as they are 

 authoritatively named by Mr Bennett himself.
