190 GUERNSEY. 
Norgiots (11.). Les Bessieres (vi.) in a waste corner by the 
stream. This last place is probably a continuation of Babington’s 
old station, ‘in fields to the right of Rohais Road.’ The other 
locality mentioned by him ‘near Febvre’ is unknown to me. There 
are specimens of this sedge in Gosselin’s herbarium from ‘side of 
ditch near the mill in the marshes: also in hedge at Planques des 
Rohais.’ The mill here referred to was, no doubt, the windmill at 
Baubigny, long ago demolished. 
Carex axillaris, Good. Axillary Sedge. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. Foote’s Lane, Lower Rohais, very sparingly; and 
again a few plants at Pont Vaillant, half a mile to the north. The 
French botanists regard this sedge as an undoubted hybrid between 
remota and vulpina. 
Carex remota, L. Distant-spiked Sedge. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather rare. Grande Mare and neighbourhood. Meadows

lant. Streamside between Mont Saint and Richmond. ‘Talbots 
Valley, here and there. Fontenelle Valley, near Rocquaine. 
Carex stellulata, Good. Little Prickly Sedge. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Local and rare. Grande Mare and adjacent meadows, in plenty. 
Talbots Valley. Cliffs near Fermain Bay, sparingly. 
Carex ovalis, Good. Oval-spiked Sedge. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rather rare, and always sparingly in each spot. Occurs in many 
places in the southern parishes and at the Vale: also in the Talbots 
Valley, and at Claire Mare, Perelle. 
Carex vulgaris, Fries. Common Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Local and rare, but plentiful where found. Meadows behind 
the Forest School, on the borders of St. Andrew’s. Grande Mare. 
Marshy meadows at Claire Mare (v1.). There is a specimen, 
without locality, in Gosselin’s herbarium. 
Carex panicea, L. Pink-leaved Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788.

at Grande Mare. Meadows near Grandes Rocques. ‘There is a 
specimen, without locality, in Gosselin’s herbarium, though the 
name does not appear in his list.
