Carex paniculata L., var. simplex Gray. [Ref. No. 374.] Roud- 

 sea Wood, v.-c. 69 b., Aug. 2, 1913. Grows in boggy shade by the 

 side of a peaty drain flushed by tidal water twice daily. — W. H. 

 Pears ALL. "Gray says: — 'Panicle simple, lower spikelets distant.' 

 I do not think my example answers to this description." — C. E. 

 Salmon. "No, the panicle is too much branched." — G. C. Druce. 

 " C . paniculata, forma simplex Peterm."— G. Kukenthal. 



Carex paniculata Jj., iovma compacta. [Ref. No. 9764.] Horns- 

 loch, Northants, July 1913. — G. C. Druce. 



Carex paniculata L. [Ref. No. 375.] Roudsea Wood, v.-c. 69 b., 

 Aug. 2, 1913. In great profusion on the site of an old peaty tarn in 

 the middle of the wood. — W. H. Pearsall. "Yes." — C, E. Salmon. 



Carex Boen7iinghausiana Weihe. One or two specimens are very 

 near C. remota but, I think, sufficiently distinct to be included under 

 the hybrid. A brook divides the spinney into halves. One half is 

 quite dry — ordinary woodland — the other being moist on the bank of 

 the brook, and very boggy elsewhere. C. paniculata (hundreds of im- 

 mense and beautiful tussocks) occupy the bog. C. remota is restricted to 

 the moist bank, and the hybrid (dozens of roots, with several distinct 

 forms — gradations of parents) is intermediate. — G. Chester. 

 " Correct." — E. S. Marshall. " Yes, excellent specimens of the 

 hybrid which Mr Chester first added to the Northants flora." — G. C. 

 Druce. " Correct." — G. Kukenthal. 



Ca.rex. [Ref. No. 9841.] Frilford, Berks, June 1913.— G. C. 

 Druce. " Looks interesting. I should like to see this with mature 

 fruit." — C. E. Salmon. " My specimens are too young. They may 

 be C. diandra.'^ — E. S. Marshall. " C. diandra Schrank. — G. 

 Kukenthal. " C. diandra was first added to the Berks flora by the Rev. 

 Lester Garland." — G. C. Druce. 



Spartina Townsendi H. and J. Groves. Itchenor, W. Sussex, v.-c. 

 13, Sept. 24, 1913 This occupies an enormous acreage on Chichester 

 Channel, from about half-tide level upwards. In drier situations on 

 gravel it is often stunted with but few flower spikes. S. stricta is 

 apparently scarce. I found one small patch near Itchenor. — J. E. 

 Little. " Correct." — E. Hackel. 



. Phalaris paradoxa L. [Ref. No. 117.] Waste ground, Hythe 

 Quarry, Colchester, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, June 2, 1913. Identified by Dr 

 E, G. Gilbert.— G. C, Brown, "Yes,"— E. Hackel,
