REPORT FOR 1913. 



505 



Mr Druce identified this plant two years ago. My specimens represent 

 the typical plants of the bog. There were, however, many smaller 

 specimens. — G. Chester. " T think these must go to C. lepidocarpa 

 Tausch." — G. C. Druce. " C. (Ederi, sub-sp. oadocarpa And." — E. 

 S. Marshall. " C. lepidocarpa Tausch." — G. Kukenthal. 



Gar ex (Ederi Retz., var. elatior And.? Banks of a pond in Bed- 

 ford Purlieus, N. Northants, v.-c. 32, June 14, 1913. Differs much 

 from the description of the variety in Druce 's Pocket-hook. The aggre- 

 gated apical spikelets, and the remote lower spikelet seem very 

 unusual, whilst the very long leaf-like bract is not so prominent in true 

 (Ederi. The fruit, however, of which I made comparison of older 

 specimens, is much the same. Curiously enough, the whole of the 

 plants which completely surrounded a small pond, were thus 

 characterised. Some were, indeed, much taller than these specimens 

 whilst on a very dry footpath near by, I saw one or two plants only a 

 few inches high. I have included specimens of true C. flava for 

 comparison. — G. Chester. " Beak too long for that ; I should refer 

 it to sub-sp. oedocarpa And." — E. S. Marshall. " Good elatior, I 

 believe. Agrees with examples so named by Kiikenthal." — C. E. 

 Salmon. " Yes, I believe so. Prof. Lindman thought it might be 

 G. flava X (Ederi." — G. C. Druce. "Correct, but somewhat nearer 

 the type form." — G. Kukenthal. 



Garex depauperata Curtis. Between Cheddar and Axbridge, N- 

 Somerset, June 4, 1913. — J. W. White. See Flora of Bristol, p- 

 638, 1912. 



Garex tomentosa L. Origin, Fairford, Glos. Hort. Beigate, June 

 4, 1913.— C. E. Salmon. 



Garex gracilis Curtis, var. prolixa (Fr.) By the Boyd Stream, 

 between Pucklechurch and Hinton, W. Gloucester, June 12, 1913. — 

 J. W. White. " G. gracilis Curtis, var. strictifolia (Opiz) Aschers." 

 — G. Kukenthal. 



Garex aquatilis Wahlenb. [Ref. No. 3809.] Locally plentiful, in 

 marshes near the head of Loch Tummel, v. c. 88, Mid Perth, July 12, 

 1913. A tall, slender form, or variety, averaging four feet in height. 

 Unfortunately the spikelets are not sufficiently advanced to show 

 their ultimate character. — E. S. Marshall. "Correct." — G. 

 Kukenthal. Also sent from the same locality by Mr W. A. 

 Shoolbred. — Ed. 



Carex aquatilis Wahlenb., var. virescens And. [Ref. No. 3807.] 

 Banks of the River Lyon, about six miles above Fortingal, v.-c. 88, Mid 

 Perth, July 23, 1913. Fruit usually exceeding the short, blunt glumes. 

 Mr Arthur Bennett thinks it correct ; but some specimens are young. —
