NOTES ON CAREX CANESCENS Licurr. 
By Rev. E. S. Marsa, M.A., F.L.S. 
Wiru his approval I venture to contribute some supplementary 
remarks to the recent paper (Journ. Bot. 1908, 369) by Mr. F. N. 
Williams; he has also sent me an interesting letter from Mr. 
rthur Bennett, of which I have made use. 
o 
Bonhard to Glen Clova, v.-c. 90 Forfar, at 1200 ft.; and a plant 
Var. raALLAx Asch. & Graebn. is, I believe, the usual alpine = ‘ 
form in Scotland, though plants not unfrequently occur which — 
approach the type. I have gathered it in the following additional 
stations :— v.-c. 69 Westmorland. igh wet moors in Upper 
Teesdale, ascending from the Mazebeck to High Cup Nick, asso- 
ciated with C. ellanica Lam.—v.-c. 88 Mid-Perth. ear 
Dalnaspidal Station. —v.-c. 89 E. Perth. Meall Odhar.—v.-e. 
90 Forfar. Driesh; Corrie of Clova—v.-c. 97 W. Inverness. Glen 
Hi ; . Ben Wyvis. This is, for the 
most part, the supposed British alpicola; Mr. Williams has mis- 
to 
different, and that he agrees. Var. robustior (or robusta) Blytt 
appears to be a nomen nudum, As Mr. Williams points out, the 
small specimens issued by Fries (Herb. Normale) are misleading ; 
and this is confirmed by a reference in Swmma Vegetabiliwm Scandt- 
navie, 223, under C. norvegica Willd. :—*‘* C. canescente robust@
