C.  rariflora,  Sm.  Lochnagar,  S.  Aberdeensh.,  v.c.  92, 
at  about  2,800  feet,  July  27,  1906.  Some  members  may 
be  glad  to  have  these  specimens,  which  are  the  largest  I 
have  yet  gathered.  The  locality  is  on  the  descent  towards 
the  Dhu  Loch  ;  it  also  grows  near  the  summit,  at  3,500 
feet,  but  not  so  fine. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
C.  rostrata ,  Stokes,  var.  c.  involuta  (Bab.).  Abundant 
by  Lake  Fawnog,  near  Colwyn,  N.  Denbighsh.,  v.c.  50. 
Coll.  Mr.  G.  A.  Holt,  of  Brooklands,  Sale,  June,  1906.  The 
Rev.  W.  R.  Linton,  in  the  1906  “Report  of  the  Botanical 
Exchange  Club  of  the  British  Isles,”  p.  247,  refers  this 
plant  to  type  rostrata ,  and  on  re-examining  the  fruits  of 
the  Denbigh  plants  I  find  that  it  is  the  type,  with  slender 
leaves  and  stems.— Charles  Bailey.  I  think  narrow-leaved 
C.  rostrata  type,  not  the  variety. — E.F.L.  C.  involuta 
Bab.  is,  I  believe,  a  hybrid,  C.  rostrata  x  vesicaria.  This 
is,  I  should  say,  a  slender,  narrow-leaved  C.  rostrata ; 
which  I  have  gathered  at  Wybunbury  Bog,  Cheshire,  and 
in  Scotland.— E.S.M.  I  should  not  so  name  the  specimens. 
I  do  not  see  how  this  differs  from  ordinary  rostrata ,  Stokes 
(i ampullacea ,  Good.).  The  fruit  of  involuta  is  narrower 
than  in  this  and  tapers  more  gradually  to  a  less  apparent 
beak,  etc.  C.  vesicaria,  L.,  ft  ?  involuta,  Bab.  Man.  ed. 
II.,  870  (1847).  C.  ampullacea  Good.,  var.  involuta,  Baker 
and  Hunt  in  Rep.  Bot.  Ex.  Club  for  1868,  9  (1864). 
C.  involuta,  Syme  Eng.  Bot.  ed.  III.,  X.,  168  (1870). — A.B. 
Setaria  verticillata,  Beauv.  Cultivated  land,  Ledbury, 
Herefordsh.,  v.c.  36,  Sept.  3,  1906.  A  casual. — S.  H. 
Bickham. 
Spartina  alterniflora,  Loisel.  Mud  flats  between 
Southampton  and  Milbrook,  S.  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Aug.  20, 
1906. — A.  B.  Jackson.  Correct. — E.S.M. 
S.  Townsendi,  H.  &  J.  Groves.  Bosham  Creek,  W. 
Sussex,  v.c.  13,  Aug.  23,  1906. — R.  S.  Standen.  Yes,  the 
Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  and  I  discovered  it  at  Bosham  on  Aug. 
1,  1903.— E.S.M. 
Anthoxanthum  odoratum,  L.,  forma  longiaristata. 
Moor  above  Minehead,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5,  June  18,  1906. 
— S.  H.  Bickham  and  A.  Ley.  The  Anthoxanthum  which 
you  have  sent  me  agrees  quite  well  with  the  description
