188 GUERNSEY. 
Eleocharis multicaulis, Sm. Many-stemmed Club Rush. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rare. Grande Mare and the adjacent meadows. Marsh on the 
eastern side of Lancresse. Valley below Le Casrouge, Forest. 
Scirpus maritimus, L. Sea Club Rush, 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Frequent in salt marshes and brackish ditches throughout the 
low-lying districts: more often met with north of Ivy Castle. This 
species may perhaps be the Scirpus mucronatus, Pointed Bullrush, 
of Gosselin’s list. In meadows near Ivy Castle Mr. Andrews has 
found many dwarf plants from three to six inches high, each with a 
single spikelet, and so unlike the ordinary form as to be hardly 
recognisable at first sight. 
Scirpus Tabernaemontani, Gmel. Glaucous Bullrush. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Rare. Brackish marsh at Vazon between Grande Mare and the 
sea: this marsh is almost entirely filled with the plant. At Grande 
Mare it grows sparingly, and of small size. Marshy spot near 
Albecq. Wet field corner at Grandes Rocques. Babington records 
it from Lerée Bay, as well as Grande Mare. Gosselin includes 
Scirpus lacustris in his list, but, as he does not mention any other 
belonging to this group, it may be assumed that the present species 
was the plant he meant. 
Scirpus pauciflorus, Light. Chocolate-headed Club Rush. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rare. Plentiful at the upper end of Grande Mare. Marshy spot 
on the cliffs east of the Corbiere. Gouffre Valley (Andrews). 
Scirpus setaceus, L. Bristle-stalked Club Rush. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather common in wet places, and at sides of streamlets and 
springs. Often found in company with S. Savi, which it much 
resembles, but the present species is the commoner of the two, 
taking the island as a whole. 
Scirpus Savii, Seb. & Maur. Savi’s Club Rush. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Frequent in the lowlands as well as in the south of the island, 
where it occurs in nearly every cliff valley. The prevailing form is 
the var. monostachys ; indeed, I have met with no other in this 
island, though in Alderney I have seen both the variety and the 
type. Mr. Andrews, however, has found in the Casrouge Valley 
{1v.) a fine form of S. Saviz, growing in large clumps, with stems a 
foot long, and two spikelets on every stem. Under this species
