192 GUERNSEY. 
Mare de Carteret. Base of cliffs west of Petit Bot Bay (Andrews). 
There is a specimen in Gosselin’s herbarium. 
Carex punctata, Gaud. Dottedfruited Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare. Grande Mare, scattered all over the marsh, but thinly. 
In a cliff stream near Icart, scarce. Upper Moulin Huet Valley, 
where Guznera grows, a few roots. Claire Mare, near Perelle. 
Jaonnet Valley, and on the shore of a bay west of Jaonnet 
(Andrews). I have a specimen gathered in Guernsey in June 
1853 by Dr. Boswell (Syme), and labelled by him ‘ Vazon Bay ;’ but 
probably the exact locality was Grande Mare.. This species is not 
mentioned in Gosselin’s list, but there is a specimen, without locality, 
preserved in his herbarium. 
Carex distans, L. Distant-spiked Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Frequent in marshy places in the low-lying districts, especially 
near the coast. Base of the cliffs at St. Martin’s in a few places, 
and found by Mr. Andrews in similar localities at the Forest. There 
is a specimen in Gosselin’s herbarium. 
Carex laevigata, Sm. Smooth-stalked Sedge. 
Native. First found: Miss Dawber, 1888. 
Very rare. Sparingly in a meadow in the Fontenelle Valley, St. 
Peter’s, in 1894. Specimens of this plant were gathered in 1888 in 
the Talbots Valley by Miss Dawber, but they remained undetermined 
in her herbarium for several years. 
Garex birta, L, Hairy Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare. Field corner at Les Bessieres (vu.). Valley below St. 
Saviour’s Church. Rather frequent in the vicinity of Grande Mare, 
Field near St. Andrew’s Church. Lane at Albecq. Marshy 
meadows at Cobo. Lane near La Moye (1x.). I do not remember 
seeing this species on the south coast of Guernsey, but in Alderney 
it occurs in all the cliff valleys. The name does not figure in 
Gosselin’s list, but there is an unnamed specimen in his herbarium, 
and also another labelled Carex acuta nigra ; no locality is specified 
for either. 
Carex vesicaria, L. Bladder Sedge. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. On the side of the lane at Grande Mare, rather 
scantily : but the plant seems hardly typical. 
Carex riparia, Curt. Great Pond Sedge. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Local and rare. Abundant in a meadow at Rue des Bergers,
