60 CORNISH FLORA. 



Atriplex littoralis, Linn., var. serrata, Moq. Par, 1903, Miss 

 Spettigue. 



Schcenus nigricans, Linn., var. 7-ecurvus, Curnow. This 

 varietal name was proposed by the late Mr. W. Curnow for a 

 striking plant found with the type on Lizard Downs, T877, and 

 of which good specimens are in the herbarium of Mr. A. Bennett. 

 Mr. Bennett writes : — "This is a very odd form of the species. 

 It is about six inches high, and grows just like some ferns come 

 up, i.e. with considerable curving of the stem. It is not the 

 same as Beeby's variety nana (See "Flora of Shetland," in Scott. 

 Nat., p. 207, 1887), specimens of which I possess. I think it may 

 well bear Curnow' s name, but I think it is really only a form, 

 although I must admit I see no evidence of insect or fungus 

 agency to cause it. The specimens are as healthy as others, and 

 if they occurred with the normal form, wind would not account 

 for them." 



Carex Goodenoivii, J. Gay, var. juncella (T. M. Fries). This, 

 gathered in the Camborne Waterworks, Crowan, was identified 

 for me by Mr. Bennett. 



C. flacca, Schreb., var. Micheliana, Ar. Benn. Tregordon, 

 near Egloshayle, R. V. Tellam. 



Poa nemoralis, Linn., var. coarctata (Gaud.). Top of a wall 

 at Wadebridge, R. V. Tellam. 



Festuca ovina, Linn., var. capiUata, Hackel. Near Bodmin, 

 R. r. Tellam. 



Leptums JiUformis, Trin., var. incurvatiis (Trin.). Another of 

 Mr. Tellam' s records, and in its own way perhaps not less 

 interesting than his discovery of Glyceria Borreri. It occurs in a 

 marsh near Egloshayle. Formerly occupying specific rank, it 

 was for a time excluded the British Flora, as grave doubts were 

 attached to its indigeneity. 



3. Additional Records for some of the Rarer Plants.

 Minver ; ditch near St. Merryn Post Office ; mill-stream at

 Farm, St. Ervan, W. Barratt.
