FLOWERING PLANTS. Igt

Carex pendula, Huds. Great Pendulous Sedge. 
Alien. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. Several plants at the base of the cliffs in Fort Bay; 
growing well and fruiting freely. From the situation in which the 
plant grows I have no doubt whatever that it was originally planted 
there, and therefore I regard this species as an Alien, as there is no 
evidence of its existence in the past anywhere in the island, although 
there are many suitable localities for it. 
Carex praecox, Jacq. Vernal Sedge. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather common in turfy places, and on dry banks and commons 
in all parts of the island. 
Carex pilulifera, L. Round-headed Sedge. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rare, except in the south. Occurs here and there on the cliffs 
at St. Martin’s and the Forest. Sparingly in a furze croft near 
Ozanne’s Mill. 
Carex glauca, Scop. Glaucous Heath Sedge. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Rather common in marshy spots on the southern cliffs and in 
all the cliff valleys; less frequent in the lowlands. Grande Mare. 
Cobo. Sandy field at Grandes Rocques. 
Carex flava, L. Yellow Sedge. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Plentiful at Grande Mare and the neighbouring marshes. Rather 
common in wet places on the cliffs. Marsh on the eastern side of 
Lancresse. The plant from Claire Mare which I noted in my list 
of 1891 as var. /epidocarpa was not the true plant, but a tall state of 
the var. minor, which has often been mistaken for it. 
Carex Oederi, Ehrh. Oecder’s Sedge. 
Native. First found: Miller, 1892. 
Very rare. Plentiful in a hollow on Lancresse Common west of 
Lancresse Lodge. It was discovered there in 1892 by Mr. W. F. 
Miller, who informed me of it; and the following year I found the 
plant in good quantity in moist places near a roadside pool at the 
east of Lancresse. Small states of C. flava have often been mistaken 
for C. Oederi, but the latter species is so distinct that it could hardly 
be passed by as a form of C. flava. 
Carex extensa, Good. Long-bract Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare. Near the Vale pond, but not plentifully. On rocks above 
high-water mark at Petit Port. Marshy field between Cobo and
