REPORT FOR 1914. 



165 



J uncus tenuis Willd. Roadsides, Crianlarich, Mid Perth, v.-c. 88, 

 July 15, 1914.— E. S. Marshall. 



Juncus hufonius L., varA Sandy shore, at high watermark, 

 Bally waiter, Co. Down, August 1914. These plants are frequently 

 overflowed by the tide. I suppose the sepals are too sharp for 

 YSbr. ranarius. — C. H. Waddell. "This is apparently the plant 

 described as var. ranarius = J. ra7iarius, but the original description 

 of J. ranarius Song, et Perrier says that the perianth is shorter than 

 the capsule and the inner obtuse, while in this plant the perianth 

 segments are all acute and exceed the capsule. A specimen in 

 Camb. Univ. Herbarium, issued by Perrier, of J. ranarius is a very 

 different plant, that so far I have not seen in this country. The 

 present plant would come under J. ranarius sensu Asch. and 

 Graebner Syn. Mitt. Fl. ii., 2, 1904, p. 432, or J. insulanus Viv. in 

 Rouy Fl. Fr. xiii., 1912, p. 252, which Buchenau treats as the same as 

 ./. hufonius va,r. fasciculatus Koch. The oldest varietal name would 

 seem to be var. congestus Wahlb. (1820), but I have not seen the 

 description." — R. S. Adamson. " I have just the same thing from 

 Starcross, S. Devon (October 1888); and New Romney, E. Kent 

 (July 1891). Much paler than vav. fasciculatus Koch, the individual 

 flowers being as a rule fully twice as long. My only sheet labelled 

 J. raiiarius ISTees, from Southport, S. Lanes, is too dwarf and poor to 

 give much help, but I suspect that all these gatherings may belong to 

 it.'^ — E. S. Marshall. " This is what I called fasciculatusJ' — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Juncoides Fosteri Sm. Thicket near Colwall, Herefordshire, 

 v.-c. 36, May 9, 1914.— C. Waterfall. "Right."— E. S. Marshall. 

 Also from Harefield, Middlesex, v.-c. 21, May 4, 1913.— W. C. Barton. 



Luzula multiflora DC, var. congesta (Lej.). Tiptree Heath, 

 N. Essex, v.-c. 19, May 5, 1914.— G. C. Brown. 



Sparganium neglectum Beeby. By the Dane Stream, Milford-on- 

 Sea, S. Hants, v.-c. 11, August 1914. —J. Comber. " Probably correct, 

 but less ' gradually attenuated ' than in the original specimens of Mr 

 Beeby." — A. Bennett. " The specimen before me is useless, having 

 no good fruit ; I received a better one through the Watson Exchange 

 Club. From the very numerous fruits, many of them somewhat 

 angular (or ' shouldered ') at the broadish base, I would name it S. 

 erectum, var. microcarpum.'^ — E. S. Marshall. 



Sparganium minimum Fr. Borough Fen, Northants, August 

 1910. A new county record. Here over a small area it was 

 plentiful. — G. C. Druce,
