312 WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : CATALOGUE OF LINCOLNSHIRE PLANTS. 



usually upon calcareous soil, appearing to prefer a stiff soil to 

 a light peaty one/ If so, the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Crovvle is the most likely spot for it to be found still — far more 

 likely than Thorne Waste, though I thought I took it there in 

 1875 ; but as my specimens were destroyed years ago I cannot 

 be sure, and JE. angustifoliutn var. elatius Koch, may have been 

 mistaken for it. Div. 16 is a similar case. In the Britten- 

 White List, 1872, it is queried. In H. C. Watson's Top. Bot., 

 1874, no authority is given ; the 2nd edition is the same; but 

 in the MS. notes for the 1873-4 edition we read in his own 

 handwriting : * Entered in the county folios, for this county, on 

 the authority of the Rev. M. J. Berkeley. But his note does 

 not certainly imply this county — " near Stamford." H. C. W.' 

 This note lands us in a double difficulty. Where and what 

 are these * county folios 5 ? * Neither Messrs. J. Burtt Davy and 



A. 



& 



of Lincolnshire botany over and over again, have ever come 

 across a record for this species. If it is in the Berkeley MSS., 

 where are they now? Watson quotes from them for North- 

 ampton. This species has never in the last hundred years 

 grown in Lincolnshire N. or S. I believe. 

 Rynchospora alba Vahl. Native, but growing rarer each year. 

 Divs. 1.2.5.7.10(2). Herb. Brit. Mus. Not recorded for S» 



Schoenus nigricans L.f Native. Divs. i.2(2).3-4.i6. 

 Cladium jamaicense Crantz.f Native. Divs. 1.2.5. 12. Mr. F. A. 



Lees adds S, in Outline Flora, 1892. 

 Car ex pulicaris L. Native. Divs. 2(2). 12. This is a rare 



species in Lincolnshire. I know of no specimen in a 



Herbarium. There is no S. record. 



Carex divisa Huds.f Native. Divs. 3.4(2). 12. No S. record yet. 

 Carex disticha Huds.f Native. Divs. 2.7-9.12. 13. 15.16. 



x arenaria L.t Native. Divs. 1.2.4-7.9.11. 12.16. 



Var. ligerica J. Gay.t Native. Twigmoor, 6.7.92; Davy and 



Peacock (An B.). 



Var. pseudo-brizoides Clav. t Native. Div. 2. Middleton 



Plantation, Scawby, 8,6.95. Charles Waterfall. Mr. A. Bennett 

 writes : — * Your plant is hardly C. disticha Huds., and I think 

 may be C. pseudo-brizoides Bov. et Clav., but I have not seen 

 an authentic specimen, and hence cannot be sure of the name.' 

 Carex teretiuscula Good. Div. 5. Laugh ton Low Warren, 

 1892; F. A. Lees says:— « An uncertain plant, which may 

 Drove to be elonmta.'
