collected by Barter resides in the circumstance that there are two 
sheets of Barter 761 at Kew and that one of these sheets has two 
» plants belonging to distinct genera pasted on it. The unmixed sheet 
is the type of Ascolepis pusilla, Ridley (Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, vol. ii. 
p. 164), and has only plants of that species mounted on it. The other 
sheet contains plants of two species which have been named respec- 
tively Inpocarpha microcephala, R.Br. and Scirpus squarrosus, Linn. 
by the late Mr. C. B. Clarke. Neither name is correct; the plants 
named Lipocarpha microcephala are Ascolepis pusilla, Ridl. and were 
repose collected at the same time as the plants on the other sheet 
of the same number, while the plants named Scirpus seine Linn. 
are — gracilis, Turvill, described above.—W. B. TurriLt.
