FLOWERING PLANTS. 183 
Juncus bufonius, L. Toad Rush, 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Very common everywhere in muddy places and damp sandy or 
clayey ground. A very dwarf form occurs on the cliffs in quite dry 
exposed spots. Var. fasciculatus, Bert. occurs in Alderney. 
Luzula sylvatica, Bich. Great Wood Rush. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very local, being entirely confined to half a mile of cliffside 
between Fermain Bay and St. Martin’s Point, where it grows in 
abundance. The occurrence of this plant on the exposed coast, and 
its complete absence from those parts of the island where woods 
certainly existed in former times, is somewhat remarkable. 
Luzula campestris, Willd. Field Wood Rush. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Very common in hedgebanks, pastures and grassy places, and in 
turfy spots on the cliffs. 
Called in the patois Pr d’alouetie, or Lark’s foot, though the 
allusion is not apparent. In France the name Pred d’alouette is 
applied to Delphinium Consolida, one of the wild Larkspurs. 
Luzula multiflora, Lej. Many-headed Wood Rush. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Common in all districts. The two forms or varieties wmdellata 
and congesta occur, the former being, perhaps, the commoner of the 
two. In F/. Sarn. var. congesta is made a variety of LZ. campestris. 
(Luzula Forsteri, DC. is marked for Guernsey in the list in 
Ansted’s Channel Islands. Certainly an error.) 
TYPHACEAE. 
*Typha latifolia, L. Great Reed Mace. Cat’s-tail. 
Extinct. 
Gosselin mentions this plant in his old list, and there is a 
specimen preserved in his herbarium collected in the ‘ Milldam 
below and W. of St. Saviour’s Church.’ Half a century later it was 
seen by Babington at Grande Mare. Both this species and the nex. 
must have been long extinct, as no vestige of either has been 
detected in the island for at least thirty years. 
*Typha angustifolia, L. Lesser Reed Mace. 
Extinct. 
This species is recorded in /V. Sarn. as having been found by 
Babington in a ‘marsh at Caquerau in Perelle Bay.’ This place is
