338 SHORT NOTES AND QUERIES. 
about. a mile north of the town It had the look of Carex peste 
but the fruit-spikes were much more lax than i in that plant ; and not- 
withstanding that I had Babington’s ‘‘ Manual” and Hooker’s 
‘¢ Student’s Flora’? with me, I failed to identify it as Gaudin’ s Carex 
— until my return to Manchester, when I found it to answer 
to the description of that species given in the last edition of 
af English Botany. ”? Drs. Syme and Trimen have been kind enough to 
examine specimens, and both these botanists pronounce it to be the 
true plant. I may add that I did not notice it in any other locality 
in cy topegely although : searobee for it carefully, looking upon 
it at the time asa form of Carex distans, Tg erg the Tenby 
plant was pas its fruit Hi I met with it, but I brought away 
such plants as seemed fit for drying, and these will be sent to the Ex- 
change Club for distribution to British botanists as far as the speci- 
will go. Now that attention has been drawn to this species 
The Tenby plant agrees pretty well with an I of 
netata received last year from the Exchange Club, and collected by 
Ardgroom, Cork ; andit comes very o Italian 
lants ave from Prof. v: eurck, collected near Pisa, and to 
TO 
Tyrolese specimens from Salzburg. The length of the female spike 
is rather shorter in the British species, although answering pao in 
this respect to the figure of the French plant drawn on the plate in 
‘English Botany” ; but the most striking character of the species—its 
inflated spreading fruit—is very apparent in both the Tenby and Con- 
tinental specimens, much more so than in the Irish specimen referred 
to above. Two papers on the botany of South Pembrokeshire have 
already appeared in the ‘‘Journal of Botany” ; one by Prof. Babington 
(Journ., vol i, p 258), and the other by Dr. Trimen (Journ., vol. v.,
