We cannot find this rush either in Gloucestershire or in 

 Somerset at the stations recorded, and are doubtful if 

 we do right in including the species here. The tract 

 of salt marshes where it is stated to have been found by

 locality for the plant. Until further search has been 

 made we must not relinquish our claim to it.
