518 ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 



common witli J. coenosus (Gerardi) ; but that certainly 

 does not establish the fact. My own experience is, that 

 I could never clearly distinguish between the two jolants 

 by the alleged differences in the form and pointing of the 

 capsule ; but I have examples with the capsule decidedly 

 longer than the perianth, collected by the side of fresh 

 water, ex. gr. by the side of the Thames in Sm-rey. 



1170, b. Luzula Borreri, vol. iii. p. 54. 



At the time of printing this page my garden root of L. 

 Borreri is still only in flower, later by two or three weeks 

 than some of the wild examples of L. pilosa. The num- 

 ber of flowers on the peduncles varies from 1 to 3, as in 

 L. pilosa ; but this is no good test of the species, as those 

 of L. Forsteri are by no means always single. The re- 

 mark about the " supposed seeds " of L. Borreri, in volume 

 second, is awkwardly expressed ; of course, I meant seeds 

 that were supposed to be those of L. Borreri. The seeds 

 of my garden plant, last year, had withered in a half- 

 grown state, and their withered and dry crest appeared to 

 me sHghtly curved ; an appearance which might however 

 have been induced during the process of gradual desicca- 

 tion within the capsule. 



1213. Carex Persoonii, vol. iii. p. 97. 



Mr. J. T. Syme gathered this Carex " above the preci- 

 pice on the north side of Loch-na-gar, within fifty yards 

 of the summit." This station may be considered to carry 

 the ascending range of the species up to 1200 yards in 

 the East Highlands, and to a temperature lower by 2 

 degrees than is indicated for it on page 97. 



1251*. Carex montana, vol. iii. p. 134. 



A fourth county, that of Gloucester, has this year 

 been added by Mr. Hort to those ascertained to produce 

 this species ; which was found by him in the middle of 

 April, "intermixed with C. digitata, under Penmoyle
