British examples in either the British Museum Herbarium or in 
our Oxford collection. eve Peles eer was collected

Puants oF Nortu oes 1908 the following additions 
to oe Mec a os were noticed near Exeter :—Sisymbriwm

and Festuca rubra The n w Saptari heterophylla var. 
iscana, discovered oe ‘Mr. Hiern, is to be seen in 1 
material (wood-pulp) has been used at the mill, and that American 
timber has been brought up the river. But the fact remains 
that, however the Sagittaria may have been introduced, it is now 
completely naturalized, and cope of a reflection is cast upon 
local botanists by its remaining so long unrecognized, since a 
great clump is close to the obibteen's playground, and another 
within sight of the town-bridge over the Exe, although when out 
of flower the plant much resembles Alisma Plantago-aquatica L.

Cornish Puants.—In 1908 I gathered an Artemisia at Par, 
which De. “Britton, 2 New York, has kindly identified for me as 
A. biennis Willd. In botanical works the plant is described as 
without odour. | eae refers to the leaves only; the flowers have a 
strong and distinct smell. Silene maritima With. var. parvifolia 
ruce is by an ne put in the Flora of Cornwall under §. lati- 
folia. It occurs on shingle on Looe Bar. Aster Tripolium L. 
var. discoideus Reichb., Wadeiridan —G. CuaripGe Druce. 
ABNORMAL CarEx.—Last autumn Sir James Stirling sent me 
a stem of an abnormal Carex with the following note: , 
1909, there were found near one spot in Finchco j d- 
which were abnormal by reason of the terminal spike being 
androgynous. In one of these stems the terminal spike was male 
at the top; in the other five the terminal spike was male at the 
base. One of these five stems was growing side by side with a 
normal fruiting-stem, which appeared to spring from the same 
g me this note we have compared in 
Carex vulgaris, which is recorded by Syme in English Botany, 
third san se mp tibet consider the form | to tee! sufficiently 
interesting to merit a J. HANBURY.
