2. J. conglomerates, (Linn.) dense-flowered or common Rush. 

 Engl. Bot. t. 835. St. 71, 3. Reich Icones, 408. 



Locality. Damp pastures and open places in moist woods. P. 

 Fl. July. Recorded in all the Districts. Panicle usually dense and 

 globular, or more or less diffuse. Capsule apiculate. J. effusus and 

 the present species are best distinguished by the capsule. 



3. J. glaucus, (Sibth.) glaucus or hard Rush. Engl. Bot. t. 665. 

 St. 7, 15. Reich Icones. ix., 415. 



Locality. Damp pastures, and roadsides. P. El. My, Common 

 in all the Districts. Panicle lax, erect. Scapes 1 to 2 feet high, 

 glaucous, rigid, covered at the base with deep purple-brown mem- 

 branous, shining sheaths. Capsule elliptic, oblong. This is chiefly 

 distinguished from the last by the rigid, and more striate scapes, 

 and capsule not retuse. 



4. J. diffusus, (Hoppe) St. 77, 10. Reich Icones, ix., 414, has 

 been observed at Wilcot, near Pewsey (District 1). Marlb. Nat. 

 Hist. Report. It is very like the preceding, which it resembles in 

 general appearance, but has the capsule much smaller. This plant 

 will doubtless be found in other parts of Wilts now attention has 

 once been directed to it. 



5. J. obtusiflorus , (Ehrh) blunt-flowered Rush. Engl. Bot. t. 

 2144. Reich Icones, ix., 404. 



Locality. In marshy bogs, and ditches in peaty ground. P. Fl. 

 July, September. Area, 1, * * 4s, 5. 



South Division. 



1. South-east District. " Wilcot near Pewsey," Marlb. Nat. 

 Hist. Report. 



North Division. 



4. North-west District. " In a bog between South Wraxhall and 

 the Horse and Jockey," Flor. Bath. 



5. North-east District. Banks of canal between Morden and 

 Purton. Not frequent in the county. The number of leaves on the 

 stem, and the obtuse leaflets of the perianth, distinguish this from 

 the next species, J. acutiflorus, whilst the very compound panicle, 

 and the relative length of the perianth and capsule keep it distinct 

 from lamprvcarpus.
