1 I Scirpus planifolius. 



tcristic of the flat leaves. The leaves are said by that botanist to be 

 nearly radical. All the specimens which I have found, with the excep- 

 tion of one or two, have had radical leaves, and in those which had 

 alternate leaves, the alternation could readily be traced under a sheath, 

 formed by the leaves closely investing each other by folds, down to the 

 root. The table represents the plant about as large as it is usually 

 met with — specimens occasionally occur, which are larger. Grows in 

 damp boggy places in Jersey, near Woodbury, flowering in May— 

 Rare.
