(Boott) .  Fruit  very  different  to  ordinary  vesicaria. 
Mr.  Ewing  says  this  is  “  var.  alpigena  mihi,  non  Fries.” 
Now  if  this  example  is  G.  Grahami,  that  is,  accordinq  to 
byme,  equal  to  the  alpigena  of  Fries.  The  latter  is 
described  as  having  “  spica  mascula  solitaria,  squamis 
latis  ovalibus,”  which  does  not  fit  Mr.  Ewing’s  plant. 
Syme  says,  of  Grahami,  “male  spikes  often  2.  glumes 
of  female  flowers  oval-lanceolate,  subacute . ’’  which 
may  be  applied  to  the  specimen  under  discussion. _ C.E.S. 
Rather  young  C.  vesicaria,  Linn.,  var.  Grahami  (Boott) 
m  Mr'  Bwing’s  suggested  name  is  obviously 
invalid.— E.S.M.  A  very  interesting  sedge,  neither  var 
alpigena,  Fr,  nor  var.  Grahami  (Boott) ;  possibly  a  hybrid 
of  6.  vesicaria,  if  it  prove  to  be  sterile.  It  is  well  worth 
cultivating,  to  study  it  in  different  stages  of  growth. _

Mid  Perthsh.  v.c.  88,  July  27,  1907.  I  have  named  this 
plant  C.  Grahami  (Boott)  as  it  is  so  called  in  the  9th  ed. 
Bond.  Cat.,  but  why  it  is  placed  under  C.  pulla  I  do  not 
understand  ;  it  is  neither  more  nor  less  than  a  hill  form 
or  G.  vesicaria  and  has  nothing  in  common  with  C.  vulla 
unless  it  is  its  ability  to  exist  at  the  same  altitude P 
Ewing  Bight  no  doubt-A.L.  I  believe  that  this  is 
6.  Grahami  (Boott).  But  it  is  certainly  a  variety  of 
C;  vf  slcar'iap  Lmn. ;  the  habit,  glumes,  and  fruit  do  not 
at gah  closely  resemble  C.  saxatilis,  Linn,  (pulla,  Good.).-
