Bennett: Notes on the Flora of Cheshire. 355 
Not recorded in the Flora, at p. 286; the probability of its 
occurrence is noted. It is recorded for South Lancashire, 
Yorkshire, Derby, and Stafford; but neither for Salop, 
Denbigh, or Flint. The note in the Flora on this must be 
read in conjunction with the remarks in the preliminary 
explanations. If Potamogetons are distributed by birds 
this stands a much less chance than P. crispus, as its fruits 
are much more delicate, and do not survive so long to 
exposure, etc. 
Potamogeton zosterifolius Schum. 5. River Dee, near Shoc- 
lack, Major Wolley Dod sp., August A good 
aiddition to the county Flora, it occurs in Derby !, Stafford !, 
Salop !, and in Yorkshire!, though not in the part adjoining 
Cheshire. I have seen no Welsh specimens, but it may 
perhaps be found in the Dee watershed. 
Potamogeton Friesii Rupr. (‘ P. mucronatus Schrad.’). There 
is a Cheshire specimen of this in the herbarium of Mr. 
Charles Bailey, of Manchester. 
Potamogeton pectinatus L. The remark on Mr. Hunt’s 
eptember gathered specimens, as contrasted against 
September gathered ones of var. scoparzus from Sussex, is 
instructive, as Mr. Fryer would place scoparius under 
Jlabellatus, and in this I agree. 
Potamogeton flabellatus Bab. 4. ‘In stagnis salsis, Wallasey,’ 
Ber. 
. E, Lomax sp. : 
Ruppia rostellata Koch. 4. Shallow pit on Bidston Marsh, 
Hundred of Wirral, 7,'75, R. Brown sp. Most certainly 
the &. rostellata of Syme’s ‘English Botany,’ and not 
Sptralis, The Anornadt on Ruppia in the Flora are not very 
clear as to what is mea 
Epipactis Jatifolia All. 3. “Boleswortis 9, 1860, A. Croall sp. 
f the four specimens, one has very much narrower leaves 
than the others. ; 
Juncus lamprocarpus Ebrh. The /. nigrite/lus of Don was 
probably really J. alpinus Vill. (see Beeby in ‘Scottish 
Naturalist,’ p. 92, 1887-8). The specimens usually named 
nigritelius in Britain are called by Dr. Buchanan ‘forms in 
some instances approaching the var. pauczflorus of lampro- 
zs.’ In others they are simply dwarf damprocarpus. 
Petit obtusiflorus Ehrh. 5. Near Chowley, 7, 1857, A. 
Croall sp. This was long before Mr. Webb gathered it, 
at or near the same spot. The author’s remarks on the 
distribution of this plant are true in many counties; in 
Surrey ~I have only once gathered it, but in Norfolk, 
Suffolk, and — it sometimes occurs by the 
December 1899.
