Sarnia sed rarissime in loco infra pagum Sove¢ dictum, inter Fort 
George et Fermain Bay.’ There is here a slight confusion of localities, 
but the exact station would probably be the cliffs below La Bouvée, 
near Doyle’s Monument, a locality in which Juncus capitatus is still 
to be found. So far as I am aware this is the earliest published 
description of a Guernsey plant. 
Juncus acutiflorus, Ehrh. Sharpflowered Rush. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Common throughout the island in wet meadows and swampy 
places. 
Juncus lamprocarpus, L. Shining-fruited Rush. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Common in all districts. No doubt Babington omitted this 
species from his Guernsey list by an oversight as he records it for 
three of the other islands. He incorrectly writes the specific name 
lampocarpus, as it is frequently found in the old books, owing to a 
clerical error in the original authority. 
Juncus supinus, Moench. Lesser Jointed Rush. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare. Used to grow plentifully at the edge of a deep pool in 
an old quarry at L’Islet, but the pool has been partly filled in recently, 
and other alterations made. This was var. subverticillatus, Wulf. A 
form nearer the the type grows in wet places between Fort Doyle 
and Fort Le Marchant. This species is noted for Grande Mare in 
Fl. Sarn. It is the Juncus viviparus of Gosselin, and specimens in 
his herbarium were collected in ‘ditches N. of Ivy Castle and at 
Camp-duré,’ the latter locality being probably Camp du Roi. 
Juncus compressus, Jacq. Round-fruited Rush. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare: often growing with /. Gerardi. Brackish pool at Pulias. 
Claire Mare, near Lerée. Mont Cuet. Marshy field at Cobo. 
Near the Vale pond, and on the eastern side of Lancresse (Andrews). 
Gosselin gives this species in his list under the name of Juncus 
bulbosus, Bulbous Rush. 
Juncus Gerardi, Lois. Mud Rush. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rather common in marshy fields and brackish pools all along 
the coast of the lowlands. Rare in the south, and perhaps only to 
be found among rocks a little above high-water mark. In Gosselin’s 
herbarium this species and /. compressus are included under the 
name Juncus bulbosus ; but no locality is specified.
