200 FLORA OF THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. 



1660. Carex disticha. Hnds., 81. 



(Soft Brown Sedge). 



Native, Eng-,, 1-7. June, III. 



Common in all the districts. Near Newsholme (J.B. ) ; 

 Weedley Dale, Leven Canal, Newbald Springs,* &c. 



1 66 1. C arenaria. Linn., 68. 



(Sea Sedge). 



Native, Brit., i, 2, 5. June, III. 



Grovehiil, and low places near Hull Bridge (B.), rather 

 unlikely places; Sand-le-mere on the Holderness coast (C.W.I; 

 Spurn.* 



1662. C teretiuscula. Good, 56. 



(Lesser-panicled Sedge). 



Native, Brit., 2. 



Rare. Arram Carr near Beverley (R.T. ). Not seen of 

 late on this station, perhaps on account of the drainage and 

 cultivation having cleared the marshes away, and with them 

 many old rarities. But is C. paradoxa below mentioned not 

 the Carex meant ? 



1663. C. paradoxa. wnid., 7. 



Native, Local, i, 2, 7. June, III. 



Heslington fields (Rev. A. O. Moore, 1856) ; now extinct 

 on this station owing to drainage (H.J.W.). Plentiful at 

 Commonbank Nook (Pulfin Bog) near R. Hull, wheie I first 

 found it in May 1896. Boggy ground by R. Hull near 

 Driffield, July, 1898 (C.W.). Mr. Ar. Bennett confirms our 

 determination of specimens from the last two localities. 

 Langwith Common (Silvanus Thompson, senr. , W.W.). 

 These discoveries give this species less of a "local" character 

 than has hitherto been attached to it. 



1664. C. paniculata. Linn., 92. 



(Hummock Sedge). 



Native, Brit., 1-7. June, IV. 



Frequent. Wet pastures near Beverley (Dr. Hull and B.); 

 still in this locality (J.J.M.). Lowthorpe Woods (Y.N.U., 

 1890); King's Mill, Driffield (C.W., 1898).* Var. simplicior. 

 Andrz., near Wansford, July, 1900 (C.W.).
