316 Mr Bennett on Calamagrostis strigosa as a British Plant. 



salinxi, /8 Kattegatensis, Almq. (Fr,). It is a rare form, 

 liaviug been found by Laestadius in Tornea, Lapland, and 

 by Lundberg in Wester Botbnia, in North Sweden. 



Carex rigida, Good, var. inferalpina, Laestadius. Mr 

 Hanbury gathered this in the Little Culrannoch, in Forfar- 

 shire, last year. It is the form of rigida. that comes 

 nearest to aquatilis, and, I suspect, is the plant mentioned 

 by Syrae in third edition of English Botany, as found by 

 him on the Little Craigendahl, in Braemar. It is widely 

 spread in Lapland, and occurs also in Norway and Green- 

 land. 



It may be satisfactory to state that Dr Alraquist has 

 since confirmed my determinations of the above plants. 



Carex elongoAa., L. Found by Mr M'Andrew at Ken- 

 more Holms in Kirkcudbright, its most northern recorded 

 station being Cumberland hitherto. 



Equisetum litorale, Kiihlew. ap Rup., 1845; E. inundatum, 

 Lasch ; E. Kochianum, Bochel ; E. uliginosum, Heng. ; E. 

 ofrvense-limosum, Lasch. (See Nyman.) 



Mr W. H. Beeby has found on Bisley Common, in Surrey, 

 an Equisetum, which he thought might be E. ramosum, 

 but Dr Lange of Copenhagen determines it as above. 



iSi^'man, in his Conspectus^ gives its distribution as North 

 Germany, Denmark, Upland in Sweden, Ingria (Russia), 

 Silesia, Bohemia, Bavaria, Austria, Hungary, France (Aries), 

 and Switzerland (Lake Necomii). 



It seems to be a rare plant in most of these countries. 

 In Surrey it occurs among white sand, overlaying deep 

 peat, occurring here and there on the peat itself, but rarely. 

 Ascherson, Flora Brandenburg (Prussia), considers this 

 an hybrid, E. arvense x limosum, and gives a variety of it, 

 yS gracile, Milde. 



Garcke, Fl. v. Nord und Mittel-Deutdisland, also gives it 

 the same name. 



Hartman, Handhoh i Skan. Flora, 2nd ed., numbers it 

 as a species. 



I am glad to be able to send a specimen for the Her- 

 barium.
