Carex acutiformis, Ehrh., var. spadicea, Roth., forma maxima, 

 Urban. Rawdon Wood, near Leeds, v.-c. 64. Many specimens ex- 

 ceeded five feet ; teste A. Bennett. — J. Cryer. " Carex acutiformis, 

 Ehrh., var. spadicea, Roth." — L. Kiikenthal. " C. acutiformis, Ehrh., 

 scarcely my idea of spadicea, Roth., which has a prolonged beak to 

 the glume as long as the utricle." — G. C. Druce. " I can only see 

 C. acutiformis, Ehrh., type in this ; the glumes are not nearly long 

 or aristate enough for spadicea" — E. S. Marshall. 



Carex elata. All. Silverdale Moss, v.-c. 60, June 1912. Several 

 fine tufts. — J. Cryer. "Yes; beautiful specimens." — G. C. Druce. 



Carex gracilis. Curt. Marsh near Eairwater, v.-c. 41, May 25 and 

 June 3, 1912. The white leaf sheaths are very striking. The plant 

 grows mostly in large clumps at one end of an extensive marsh which 

 is rich in Carex forms. — H. J. Riddelsdell. " Yes ; according to the 

 Flora a rare species in the county." — -A. Bennett. " Yes ; a robust 

 form. Rouy uses the name C. acuta, Good., but it is later than 

 gracilis, Curtis." — G. C. Druce. 



Carex gracilis. Curt., var. tricostata (Fr.). Askham Bogs, near 

 York, Aug. 21, 1912. I first noticed this in Aug. 24, 1905. It is 

 fairly plentiful in one corner of the bog. Teste A. Bennett and Rev. 

 E. S. Marshall. — J. Cryer. "Correct." — L. Kukenthal. 



Carex 1 [Ref. No. 348.] Origin, Ormesby Common ; cult., 



Ledbury, v. c. 27, July 27, 1912. This is the plant I have previously 

 distributed under the name of C, trinervis, Degland. Mr Groves 

 intends to send a note respecting it to the Journal of Botany, so I send 

 further specimens. — S. H. Bickham. " Dried too early, but I suppose 

 is one of the C. trinervis forms by the stolons." — A. Bennett. "This 

 agrees with C. trinervis in many respects. My example, however, 

 has but a single male spike, and the fruit is not in eight rows. These 

 characters are perhaps affected by cultivation. The female spikes 

 show no male flowers as is said to be usual, but singularly enough the 

 solitary male spike terminates in a cluster of female flowers." — J. A. 

 Wheldon. "Pfarrer Kukenthal thinks that it may belong to C. 

 trinervis. I collected it in Norfolk in 1911, but it seems to be scarcely 

 typical trinervis." — G. C. Druce. 



Carex vulpina, L., var. nemorosa, Lej. Ditch at edge of wood 

 between Tadlow and Wimpole, v.-c. 29, May 17, 1912. A hybrid form 

 in habit exactly like typical C. vulpina. There was no suggestion of 

 hybridity, C. remota, etc., not being noticed in the locality. — R. S. 

 Adamson. " Mr Adamson is quite right in quoting this of Lejeune, 

 who so called it in his Revue de la Fl, en. d. Spa., 193, 1824.
