_  Naias graminea, Del. var. Delilii, Magnus.— Found by Mr 
Charles Bailey in a canal near Manchester, the water of which is 
raised to a warm temperature by the steam, &c., of works abut- 
ting on it. The members will find an exhaustive account of this 
plant in the memoir, by Mr C. Bailey, I was enabled to present 
to the Society last year. 
Schenus ferrigineus, L.—Found by Mr Brebner on heathy 
ground near Loch Tummell, in Perthshire, in 1884, but deter- 
mined by Dr B. White, of Perth, in 1885. In Europe it is 
scattered over a good many parts, but it is by no means general, 
and is not known out of Europe. It should be looked for in 
damp heathy ground in other parts of Scotland. 
Carex stellulata, var. Grypos (Schuh.)—Found by the Messrs 
Linton in Glen Shee, East Perthshire. In Reichenbach’s “Icones 
Flore Germanice et Helvetie,” it is figured as a species, but is 
now generally considered only a variety of stedlulata. 
Carex frigida (All.)—Found by the late Mr Sadler in the 
corrie of Loch Cean-Mor above Glen Callater in South Aber- 
deenshire. 
Carex ustulata (Wahl.)—Re-discovered last year (1885) in one 
of the mountains in Glen Lyon, Perthshire, by Mr Brebner, who 
unfortunately met with an accident after gathering four speci- 
mens only, for one of which I am indebted to the finder, through 
Dr White, of Perth. There is not the slightest doubt of its being 
the true plant, as I showed Dr White by sending him Scandi- 
navian specimens, and I was very pleased to show Mr Symington 
Grieve, of Edinburgh, that it was the true plant, when I had the 
pleasure of a visit from him last January. He acknowledged 
that he had some doubt, as the “second party ” could not find it. 
It is a most satisfactory find, thus confirming the accuracy, in 
this instance, of Don, though not for Ben Lawers, whence he 
reported it. 
Carex salina (Wahl), var. Kattegatensis (Fries sp.), Almquist. 
—Found by Mr Grant of Wick in abundance along some distance 
of the River Wick. (A full account of this will be found in the 
Botanical Exchange Club Report which I sent the Society last 
year.) This is a very interesting addition to our Flora, belonging 
as it does to a group of Carices which belt the globe near the 
Arctic regions, descending here and there further south as Gote- 
bog in Sweden, and Maine in the North United States. One 
Swedish station is nearly one degree further south than its
